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!

7 nights at Drinkers Of The Wind Farm

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.

Weekend Trip to Moose Crossing RV Park

Great spot! The views were fantastic and it was very peaceful. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful- Eric gave us some pointers on places to explore near by that were gorgeous and really an added bonus to our trip. The site itself was level and easy to get in and out of. Plus! True to its name, we saw a moose right outside of the property. You cant beat that!

This is such a beautiful peaceful spot. It is in a valley between all the mountains. We drove through the mountains on a gravel road, sat outside and saw the Milky Way. The owners are very accommodating and they are always out working on the upkeep of their little campground.

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.
