Here’s what some of our visitors have to say about their experience at Eagle Park & Campground:
- "I am surprised at how much is fit behind the expectation of this little park! It seems simple but there is the obvious park area that has nice grass and a pavilion with benches, and then there are camp grounds, mountain bike trails, a frisbee golf course, fishing (I think), as well as walking trails and I've seen people riding razors and atvs around! Some areas through the river are deep enough for swimming and other areas are shallow enough for some fun off-roading!"
- "We have brought our dog here multiple times and he loves it. There are often a handful of dogs that we see when we go."
- "The road that goes along the camp sites is very accessible to all vehicles. We even took our Honda civic into the river in a shallow area for fun, but nothing crazy! Haha"
Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or just looking for a peaceful spot to relax, Eagle Park & Campground is the perfect destination. Come and experience the beauty and adventure that this hidden gem has to offer!

I'm sure that this location used to be absolutely beautiful... And it's so very sad the state that it's in now. It almost looks as though it was flooded out and that created a huge amount of damage to the area. It's pretty unusable. There was some evidence that there is possibly some work being done to cut and clear the downed trees and limbs... I'm hoping that's the case. If you are traveling through the area currently though, it's not worth stopping at, definitely not a place to camp at currently.

Did a service project here and it's honestly kind of a hidden gem, hard to find but actually very nice and quaint, the only issue is the Rexburg sewage plant is very close by and you can definitely tell.

Great place to hang out with friends. I have been to quite a few non fires here and always had a great time. There seems to always be enough fire pits so not a lot of prior planning needs to go into it. More parking would be nice but it is enough most of the time.

We came during the week, and about 80% of the campsites were open. Most of the sites have a picnic table, a garbage can, and a water pump. Even though it's a pretty trafficked area, the campsites themselves feel secluded. The creek nearby is pretty green, so it's not great to walk in, but the area itself is beautiful and pretty close to town. Plus, we found a friend!
