Egin Lakes Campground/Day Use Area

Egin Lakes Campground and Day Use Area offers a truly unique desert-like escape nestled within the vast St. Anthony Sand Dunes of Idaho. Spanning over 10,000 acres, this dramatic landscape features massive, shifting white quartz dunes that rise up to 400 feet, creating a surreal and beautiful playground in the heart of the Rocky Mountain region. Whether you are seeking a basecamp for exploration or a quiet spot to observe the volcanic Snake River Plain, the setting provides an unforgettable backdrop for your outdoor adventure.

The campground is managed by the BLM and remains open year-round, accommodating both tent and RV campers. Guests have access to essential facilities including vault toilets, a dump station, fire rings, and picnic tables. For those needing power, the site provides electric-only hookups. Families and outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the on-site playground and nearby hiking trails that allow you to traverse the sandy terrain.

This primitive-style campground is an ideal destination for those who enjoy off-highway vehicle adventures, equestrian riding, or simply experiencing the unique topography of Idaho’s largest dune system. Because of the open, rugged nature of the environment, it is well-suited for travelers looking to immerse themselves in a distinctive and expansive natural setting.
