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.
The concrete under the canopy was filthy. It was covered with a layer of dirt, rocks, grease and garabage.
No garbage dumpsters. People speeding thru the campground. This place use to be very clean and orderly. The reservation system doesn’t work well as people are making reservations but not showing up.

Our site was a great size for our group! The space was quite large and the oversized covered table area was great! Location to the sand is awesome! Only issue was the bathrooms were out of TP for a couple days and we didn't plan for that so we just had to walk further to the next bathroom location. Overall it was a great stay!

Nice paved roadway through campground, gravel camp area and clean area. I really wish there was a sand roadway to the dunes for all OHV’s as the asphalt tears up sand paddles even when going slow. Overall fun campground, very friendly campers and BLM workers.

Missed the camp host and the garbage containers had to walk quite a distance. The people did their best to keep things clean. The noise level was late at times

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.
