Experts have named East Idaho, and the Upper Snake River Valley, one of the premier viewing locations for the August 21st Solar Eclipse. Experts say that over 500,000 visitors could flock to East Idaho to view the eclipse.
To help accommodate some of these visitors the Cities of Rexburg and Sugar City are providing designated camping areas.
The City of Rexburg has opened Eagle Park and a portion of Riverside Park for tent camping. Together there are over 220 camping areas available. Rates start at $55 a night for camping.
The City of Sugar City has designated their Business Park as well as a lot south of the City as RV camping. Sugar City rates start at $100 a night.
These camping areas will allow visitors to stay in town and allow them easy access to local businesses.
Says Rexburg Mayor Jerry Merrill, “We hope that visitors to our cities find our communities welcoming. We have a variety of local business that can cater to these tourists. We hope that they take advantage of them.”
