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.

Idaho oh Idaho. You never disappoint. The Salmon-Challis National Forest represents this flawlessly. Rugged mountains give way to untamed rivers; granite peaks gaze over sapphire alpine lakes; whitewater rafters cascade through rapids; and each day’s quest can lead to a different trail in the epic Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, which happens to be the largest contiguous wilderness area in the continental United States! Rugged and remote, this country offers millions of acres filled with breathtaking views from gravel roads, enough fish to stock your freezer all winter, and groves of cedar trees where you can set up your tent and peer out to the ocean of stars. At night listen to the coyotes call, the owls hoot, and the clink of cans as you toast to this recreational heaven. Idaho of Idaho, you are so much more than just a potato!

Challis Field Office offers wild lands, wild views, and wild adventures for even the pickiest of explorers. Hiking the trails to the scenic overlook of Mt. Caleb is sure to get you going, or pop on down to the Big Lost River for some shore-fire relaxing, rafting, and fishing. Big game hunters and anglers are going to go bananas over the opportunities here! The crystal clear Salmon River Canyon in particular offers trout and salmon fishing that will make you giddy! This is THE place for that record catch. Offroaders and history buffs will dig the ghost town of Bayshore, but the real wild time is your comfy sleeping bag around the fire at one of Challis’ campgrounds at the end of your adventure filled day.

Beautiful site that sits in the back of a big open field. We loved how private and spacious it felt and our dog loved running around in the field. Super clean and well kept. There is a small airport close by and the planes can be loud, but it was infrequent enough and the space was so peaceful otherwise that it didn't bother us.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The area was peaceful and felt private. We saw plenty of wildlife including deer, fox, and elk. Brooke was very helpful and even let us know when we could spot elk in her field. The river was a favorite for both our dog and my husband who caught lots of fish. The site fit our 40' fifth wheel with no problems. A great spot that I would definitely come back to.

It was such an amazing place to stay, gorgeous, remote, wonderful hiking. I hope they will be able to get water to the sites (we carried our own up) but also having electricity and a place to dump made this so easy. The host met us at the top and explained things to us. Fred's land is a magical place to stay.
