About Egin Lakes Campground/day Use Area

Located far from any ocean, the St. Anthony Sand Dunes appears as a rolling sea of sand on the eastern edge of Idaho’s volcanic Snake River Plain. These vast dunes are the largest in Idaho. They blanket an area approximately 20 mi long and 5 mi wide and range from 50 to 400 ft high. This 10,600-acre playground of shifting, white quartz sand is known for its unique beauty and exceptional space for off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, hikers and equestrians. Picnicking, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing and camping opportunities are also available. The best time to visit is spring through fall. Summer temperatures cause sands to reach over 100 degrees. The area features Deadhorse Bowl, a popular OHV sand bowl one-mile in circumference and 400 ft deep, located in the western section of the dune complex. The Egin Lakes Campground located 8 mi to the west from St. Anthony, ID. The developed campground offers a potable water system, RV dump station and 48 improved camp units, including electrical service. There is also a day use and horse trailer parking area.

Great location to stay & recreate right at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. Cooling off and recovering in the family friendly Lake Egin along the access trail couldn’t be more convenient. The camp hosts were accommodating and kept the facilities clean. The guests were respectful of quiet times & keeping dogs within the campsites. The onsite Pit Stop convenience store met all our needs for flags, OHV tags & swag.
The only improvement would be water & sewer service at each campsite. However onsite spigots allowed onsite tank fills, and use of onsite dumpsite was nice for a few day stay with conscientious usage. Campsite 50A electrical was uninterrupted for much needed air conditioning during midday cool offs.
Trees & durable covered gazebo’s provided excellent shade & sheltered from winds.

So suprised upon arrival and seeing the dunes up close and personal, experiencing the dunes on a Polaris Razor was simply breathtaking. The camaraderie in the campground setting was fun to enjoy. Loved it!!
