Happy Memorial Day Weekend from Castle Rocks State Park!
We’re excited to welcome everyone visiting this weekend! Before you arrive, here are a few important reminders to help keep the parks safe, enjoyable, and beautiful for everyone.
1.Vehicle Limits Per Campsite
Please check the yellow chart below for the maximum number of vehicles allowed at each campsite. If you have extra vehicles, overflow parking permits are available at the Visitor Center for the overflow lot in Castle Rocks State Park. Additional vehicles may also be parked on nearby BLM land.
2.Please Keep Dogs Safe & Leashed
Off-leashed dogs can face many hazards in the park, including predators, ticks, cactus, rough terrain, and sometimes even other dogs. We would hate for anyone to lose a pet and have their trip ruined. Please also remember to pick up after your dog, pet waste does not fertilize the park, and nobody wants an unexpected surprise ruining their trip…or their shoes.
3.Do Not Park on Vegetation
There is plenty of parking available throughout the parks. The overflow parking lot in the Castle Rocks State Park is the only area where parking on vegetation is permitted. Please avoid parking there if there are other parking spaces available. Please do not park on the side of the road in Castle Rocks.
Thank you for helping us protect these amazing parks while making the weekend enjoyable for everyone. Have a fun and safe Memorial Day Weekend!

🐝 Happy World Bee Day from Idaho State Parks!
Bees are responsible for pollinating many of the wild plants that create the stunning scenery in Idaho State Parks
By protecting native vegetation, we provide essential habitats for these crucial pollinators.
Even if plants bloom early, bees might not show up right away!
Bees wait for consistent warmth (usually 50–55°+), low wind, and the right seasonal cues before becoming active.
When you visit us, take a moment to look closely at the wildflowers, you might spot a native sweat bee or bumblebee at work!
