Egin Lakes

Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Upper Snake Field Office lands, Egin Lakes serves as a staging area for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts heading to the nearby St. Anthony Sand Dunes. The campground features a parking lot-style layout with sites positioned close together, accommodating RVs up to 80 feet with electric hookups available.

Each site includes a covered picnic table and fire pit, though privacy between neighbors remains limited. "Camping sites are like a parking lot," notes Sheena S., who adds that the close quarters can lead to making "great friends" with fellow campers. The campground attracts primarily large toy haulers and motorhomes, as most visitors come specifically for dune riding access just a few hundred yards away.

Water hookups and a dump station operate centrally rather than at individual sites. The facility includes pit toilets and hosts who manage both reservable and first-come, first-served spots. Summer temperatures can climb significantly during afternoon hours, making early or late season visits more comfortable for extended stays.

For campers seeking different accommodations, Sand Hills Resort provides an alternative experience northeast of the dunes area.

Numerous guests pointed out the large RV-friendly sites with electrical hookups and covered tables, plus convenient dune access. However, many visitors reported very close quarters and parking lot-style layout that feels crowded.

Good for it's particular purpose.

We knew what we were getting into booking this campground for the most part. This spot is really not appropriate for anyone other than those using the dunes with lots and lots of power toys. We rented a OHV from a place down the road for a morning and had a great time. But our teardrop camper was extremely out of place amongst the huuuuuuuge toy hauler mansions. Felt very out of place. Sites are RV park style right next to each other with no outdoor privacy if you dont have the house to retreat to. Pit toilet was fine. For the purpose it serves, it's pretty good. But don't go here if you aren't expecting that.

ATV/UTV days of fun

Camping sites are like a parking lot. The tables have wonderful covers over them. We made some great friends though being so close to our neighbors. There are fire pits at each site. This is a beautiful place to ride side-by-sides and it’s a great place to explore. But don’t be surprised by the close quarters and hot afternoons. Best to go camping here in early or late summer.
