Salmon-Challis National Forest

21 sites · RV, Tent

A far cry from a fraternity house, Phi Kappa Campground is set amongst the rugged peaks of the Pioneer Mountains in Idaho’s Challis National Forest. Pitch your tent, or rig up the trailer at one of the nicely wooded campsites and head for the adjacent Big Lost River. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the jaw-dropping Devil’s Bedstead peak jutting out through the valley. Don’t forget to pack some thermal undies, because this spot gets chilly at night (even in the summer), thanks to its location at 7,450 feet.

Kraay's Market & Garden

36mi from Phi Kappa Campground · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Bellevue, ID

The property has so much history. Larry purchased the 16 acres in 1978 as nothing but a field. His dream was to raise Arabian Horses, so that is what the property was set up to do and he did just that, very successfully. We did convert a few acres into a Market Garden a few years ago and started Kraay's Market Garden, you can find us online. We would love to share our place with you!

Camp along the Big Wood River on Drinkers of the Wind’s family horse ranch and regenerative agroforestry farm near world famous Sun Valley, Idaho. Spend your days enjoying outdoor activities (fishing, hiking, mountain biking, paddle boarding) and your nights soaking up the stars in the night sky, sampling the many local restaurants, or enjoying music and other cultural events in nearby towns. In addition to producing a variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers, the farm’s underlying goal is to provide a demonstration of the ways agriculture can combat climate change, improve biodiversity, and protect water quality and quantity, while providing nutrient dense food for the community. This special place is home to diverse wildlife - including deer, elk, mountain lion, eagles, hawks, herons, and songbirds galore. Learn more and find us on Instagram and Facebook.
