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.

We have been coming to this campground since 2004. Love the reservation system. We are seeing lots of new people not the same people in the same sites. Reserving arriving and staying there is such a pleasure. As with most people we enjoy riding the dunes and then hanging out by the lake. Also going up to Saint Anthony’s for Mad Moose pizza.

Great place as always. Outside of a lot of mosquitos, it is a beautiful spot with the world famous sand dunes out your back door. We will continue to stay for many years to come.

Love staying close to the big dunes. Having power and a campground dump available is so helpful.

We knew what we were getting into booking this campground for the most part. This spot is really not appropriate for anyone other than those using the dunes with lots and lots of power toys. We rented a OHV from a place down the road for a morning and had a great time. But our teardrop camper was extremely out of place amongst the huuuuuuuge toy hauler mansions. Felt very out of place. Sites are RV park style right next to each other with no outdoor privacy if you dont have the house to retreat to. Pit toilet was fine. For the purpose it serves, it's pretty good. But don't go here if you aren't expecting that.
