La Breeza Homestead

1 site ¡ RV, Tent34 acres ¡ Glenns Ferry, ID
Beautiful views of the Idaho sunsets from the hill overlooking Glenns Ferry. 34 acres of peace and quiet to enjoy local wildlife, stargazing, hike around, or just use as a base to explore the local area, go fishing, hunting, or visit the winery in town. Note: you can hear the interstate and the train as it is a small town and both are within a mile from campsite Learn more about this land: Campsite is a 4 acre pasture with a small grove of trees that holds a prepared firepit as well as a rope hammock and small sitting area. Lots of birds and wildlife are around (owls, hawks, hummingbirds, deer, endless quail and rabbits, the occasional coyote or fox) and with easy access to the town and I-84 for exploring.  Picnic table and horseshoe pit located at site. We are just a few minutes drive from town where there is a grocery store, several bars, a golf course, Y-Knot winery, and fishing on the Snake River. This is a great location for exploration of the area, birding, fishing, or hunting up near Bennett Mountain. Only 20 min drive from Bruneau Sand Dunes. We are also very conveniently located off of I-84 for road-trippers passing through. As we are near the interstate there are some constant road noise sounds. It is generally fairly quiet and makes white noise but is something to be aware of if that sort of sound bothers you. You may bring your car into the pasture (mindful of vertical irrigation pipes when driving in pasture) and camp anywhere you like in this pasture (recommend near the grove so you are close to firepit).  LGBTQIA+ friendly, Pet friendly.  We are a tent and car camping only site as we do not have facilities for a trailer and we the pasture is on a slight slope so will not be able to find a level spot for a trailer.  We do have 34 acres and the property is all available to hike on ... if you would like to hike up the hill (there is no direct car access up there) it offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area and night sky but can be quite windy.  We have firewood available and will try to have a small supply at the firepit, but if you would like extra or want to guarantee some available please add it on. We look forward to sharing our beautiful view of the Snake River valley above Glenns Ferry with you! Clear skies and happy trails!
