At Idaho Sky RV Resort, we believe that your best adventure partner might just have four legs, a wagging tail, and a love for the open road. For so many travelers, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. And when it comes to making unforgettable memories, leaving your loyal companion behind just isn’t an option.

That’s why we’ve designed Idaho Sky RV Resort to be a dog-friendly haven, where you and your pup can relax, explore, and make the most of your time together in beautiful eastern Idaho.

Why Idaho Sky RV Resort is Dog-Approved

Spacious RV Sites Where Your Pup Can Stretch Out

When you’re traveling with dogs, space matters. Our extra-large RV sites, with pull-through options up to 89 feet long and 40 feet wide, give your pup plenty of room to lounge outside, sniff the fresh Idaho breeze, or chase a ball without feeling boxed in. Whether you’re staying for a weekend or settling in for a longer adventure, you’ll both have space to relax.

Dog-Friendly Policies with Thoughtful Guidelines

We welcome up to two dogs per RV site, because we know travel is simply better with your furry friends along for the ride. We ask that dogs remain leashed while on the resort property and that owners clean up after their pups—keeping our beautiful resort clean, comfortable, and safe for all guests.

Peaceful Walking Spaces Right Outside Your Door

Your pup will love daily walks around the resort’s scenic surroundings. Take in those big Idaho skies and crisp mountain air while giving your dog the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. And after your outing?
