Beaver Dick Park

How often do you find a campground offering riverfront relaxation, family-friendly amenities, and rich historical ties all within a 10-minute drive of town? Beaver Dick Park Campground, located on the west bank of the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River and just 4.5 miles west of Rexburg, Idaho, defies expectations of a simple outdoor retreat with its multifaceted appeal.

This 9.5-acre park offers both tent and RV camping, complemented by features such as picnic tables, fire rings, clean vault toilets, and a children’s playground. Notable activities include fishing, boating via the campground’s boat ramp, and enjoying the on-site frisbee golf course. The campground sits adjacent to over 400 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, providing opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, and small game hunting. However, campers should note the park is dry camping only, with no available potable water or hookups, making advance preparation essential.

Beaver Dick Park’s proximity to Rexburg ensures that visitors can easily access supplies or local eateries while enjoying the tranquil riverside atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a family vacation, or a brief stopover, the park’s combination of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and historical homage to its namesake, “Beaver Dick” Richard Leigh, marks it as a distinctive destination in southeastern Idaho.
