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!

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!

5 nights at Moose Crossing RV Park

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.
