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.

Summary
AI generated
Egin Lakes Campground offers a great location with clean facilities, friendly camp hosts, and a well-maintained environment, making it a popular choice for visitors. Many guests appreciate the cleanliness and organization of the campground, as well as the access to nearby dunes and outdoor activities. However, some concerns include noisy neighbors and tight camping spots, along with a recent increase in reservation prices. Overall, it remains a highly recommended destination for camping enthusiasts.
This was the best experience we have ever had at Egin Lakes! We have been going to this area for 35 years. This was the first year that we were able to reserve a spot ahead of time. For many years, it has felt that something might just be a little off when it came to arriving and trying to get a spot in the facility. The new camp area host (Dillon) was very friendly and able to answer questions and help with anything that we needed. He also seemed to be hands off when we didn't need him which was nice. The restrooms were kept clean and stocked. I saw people attending to them every day. The whole experience was just incredible. The entire facility was amazing and I can't wait to return.
I really hate you going to reservations. You apparently have to reserve years in advance or you cannot get your preferred site(s) for a full week - every one of our preferred sites were already taken on Friday and Saturday or Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so we could only reserve Monday thru Thursday or Monday through Wednesday - that is not fair for those of us that come for a week. I have been coming to Egin Lakes every year to twice a year ever since 1994 (long before you built the facilities - the facilities do make it much better and we love it). I was even more different this year because Sand Crab wasn't there to take care of everything. The Parts and Recks gentlemen was very nice and did keep the bathrooms with toilet paper (except it was empty when we first got there on Monday morning). We will keep coming but I emphasize that I hate the reservations.

All went well. Liked the new improvements that included a reservation system and a "first come first served option". The 30 gallon trash cans were insufficient, please bring back the dumpsters.

Nice campground, well maintained, employees were very nice, however didn’t realize that A section was double sites, wondered why they were so expensive, overall a very nice campground

Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
