Fun
A great park with some great features. The observatory is so much fun and entertaining to see such a clear view of the sky also when we were there, they announced night time scorpian hunting by black light. The park was nice and had enough trees to offer shade and the sand dunes and lake are great to.

Awesome night sky wonders!
Play on the sand at day and relax under the stars at night. Brilliant masses of star clusters that challenge the mind and awe the senses. Dont miss it!

| Camping: |
| Bruneau Dunes has one of the longest camping seasons in Idaho's system. Campers often start coming in March and continue to enjoy the park's warm weather late into the fall. Shade trees and shelters are abundant in the campground. A new group camp area with shelter and 50 sites has been added. Two camping cabins are also available for rent in the park. |
| Fishing and Hunting: |
| Fishing:
The small lakes at the foot of the dunes provide an excellent bass and bluegill fishery. Sport fishing from non-motorized boats, canoes, rubber rafts and float tubes is a popular activity. |
