The Idaho Pioneer Farm

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Nampa, ID
I was raised outside of city limits in Nampa, Idaho, and I wanted to raise my kids in the same "country environment." I was blessed to buy my 10-acre farm in early 2013, and my three kids and I are slowly transforming it into a small, sustainable farm with chickens and veggies at the moment. That takes up a relatively small footprint, and the rest of my land is native sagebrush and grassland. It's so beautiful and peaceful, and I hope you enjoy it and the incredible views of the valley!

Garden Valley River Access Campsite

1 site ¡ RV, Tent2 acres ¡ Crouch, ID
The address to the house next door is 519 MiddleFork Rd, Garden Valley, ID 83622. That will get you to the property. The property is right after 519 it is a large open lot that leads down to the river. There is a black military vehicle parked on the very end close to the house. So there are two sections 1st is a flat section where you have plenty of room to set up tents and RVs. It is right off the road, and any car can get to the site with ease. The 2nd section is more wooded and has access to the river. You are welcome to tent camp here it is just getting an RV down there and out can be a challenge I don't recommend it. Also, the bridge across the river is the neighbors and so is the property across the river. There are roughly 4 campsites on the property but can camp where you want really. Large flat spot above the river that has access to the water. Half of the property is a flat spot for RV's and tents the 2nd half is more green, woody and has access to the river. There is a deeper spot in the river that is 3-4 feet deep and is perfect to lounge in during the hot parts of the summer. Please pack out what you pack in and keep the place nice for the next camper. Thank you and enjoy.
