Quick Overview

McCammon has several RV dump stations in the area, with some offering free access to travelers at the junction of I-15 and Highway 30 in southeastern Idaho's Portneuf River valley. This small Bannock County community of about 800 sits where the historic Oregon Trail route along Highway 30 meets the I-15 interstate corridor, about 20 miles south of Pocatello. RV dump station and sani-dump access at McCammon serves interstate travelers on I-15 as well as those following Highway 30 toward the Lava Hot Springs resort community 10 miles to the southeast. The sanitary dump station facilities provide useful tank maintenance at a highway junction that has served travelers since the wagon train era when emigrants passed through the Portneuf Valley on their way west along the Oregon Trail. The surrounding valley features irrigated agriculture and cattle ranching against a backdrop of sage-covered hills that characterize southeastern Idaho's basin-and-range landscape. The junction area has served as a natural rest stop since the earliest days of overland travel through this valley.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to McCammon, Idaho, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.
