Stories from the community

2 nights at Rex & Cate's Hobby Farm

We loved camping at the hobby farm! Site just as described, goats are so cute and friendly! Rex and Cate are great hosts (great communication and beautiful area) and we would definitely stay agin if we were in the area!

1 night at Upper Country Paradise

This is a perfect glamping set-up. Not too fancy, not too primitive. Tent is up-to-date, and everything has been thought of. Well maintained paths and tidy bathroom. Lovely view, fun duck boat! A cozy squeeze with two teens on air mattresses, but we all fit. The surrounding area is the pure Southern Idaho of my childhood. Look closely for the tiny beauty of a wildflower, volcanic rock. We were very happy here.

1 night at Sweet Pepper Ranch's Glamping Tent

Alayne and Matt are gracious hosts. I really appreciated having a safe, comfortable, and private spot to stay for night. Being around the horses was an added bonus!

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

This was our 2nd time camping here and we love it! Hosts are great the spot is secluded where my dogs can be off leash. Really quiet and peaceful, highly recommend.

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

We loved the spot on Ron’s land - a real paradise in the countryside. Amazing views, peaceful surrounding and a very well maintained place for our RV. The host is also very kind and helpful. Can only recommend staying here!

1 night at Tawa Tipis

Wonderful stay at Tawa Tipi #1! Tipi had everything I needed to be comfortable and the farmstand was a lovely addition to grab some snacks and farm products like salves and honey!

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise Camping

So pretty and quiet. The pond life is soothing and stars are amazing.

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

This is such a peaceful, beautiful spot! Full of nature and beautiful sunsets! The bed was comfy and they have lots of extras for you to use such as a propane cook top with extra propane, folding tables, laterns, candles, bug spray, etc. We will definitely be booking this spot again!

3 nights at Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

Great place to stay! Lots of trails to hike, firepit and Terrace pool is close by to soak in. Can’t go wrong!

Weekend Trip to Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Tyler was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful view over the city, nice parking pad area. The porta potty was very clean. Could hear the coyotes running around at night, which is always fun.

Weekend Trip to Downtown Boise's Best location!

Easy to get to and perfect spot to walk to everything downtown! My boyfriend and I stayed here a couple nights. We met the neighbors and their dogs who were all very friendly and joined us for a bonfire night. Great spot if you want to explore downtown Boise!

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

The site was well-maintained, and the outhouse was built. The amenities were inviting, especially the cozy fire pit area and they had a camp stove, a pop up shade tent and other things for camping under the bed. I loved the fact that the tent had a propane heater which kept us cozy and warm thru the nighr. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected family loss, we had to leave early and couldn’t fully enjoy everything, including the fire pit. Before departing, we made sure to tidy up, picking up some stray foil and trash around the fire pit and cleaning up after our dog, as well as some older waste we noticed. Despite our shortened stay, we were impressed by the serene atmosphere and attention to detail. We hope to return in the future to fully soak in the experience. Thank you for making our brief time there memorable.

2 nights at Basic Kuna space with full hookups

Very easy access with a level concrete RV pad. It was perfect for us. We are craft vendors and needed an RV space near Melba for the 4th of July. We will stay at Coltin's RV space again when we have vendor shows around that area. It felt very safe and comfortable.

1 night at Basic Kuna space with full hookups

It was a little confusing figuring out where to go to enter the property. Directions lead me to the house front but I believe the side access would be way better as it’s a round about on the property and can accommodate a bigger unit. Setup was pretty straight forward and hands off. I felt safe in the area and the quality of the water seemed good as well. It has a 50/30/120 hookup and sewer. This stop over for us was for a one night stay after a 7.5 hour drive with another one to follow so it was a good halfway point. It’s no frills but definitely suited our purpose and let us recharge our batteries (literally) have a hot shower in the RV trailer and relax. It’s surrounded by farmland and there are some local produce places you can get farm fresh stuff from nearby (6-8 miles)

1 night at Tawa Tipis

The place was very clean and super awesome. Great set up and comfy bed for being on the floor. Absolutely would love to visit again.

1 night at Micone Ranch

I appreciated that Tamara accepted my last minute request for an overnight stay. The ranch is very nice and Tamara was very accommodating. A wonderful find.

1 night at Tawa Tipis

We loved the tipi! Cozy, thoughtful decorations and touches, great outdoor seating area. Beautiful sunset! Lovely lavender farm with farm stand. We would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

Nice community spot on our way through Idaho! Not too many bugs, despite the water, and a very clean portapotty. Other campers were super respectful of quiet time. I recommend using the address, not the given coordinates (google maps took us through the neighbor’s goat farm. Thankfully he was a nice guy who corrected our course).

Weekend Trip to Cagle Cove

We loved our stay at the Cove. Beth does a great job keeping the sites private, plenty of space between site and well-marked. Lilly is welcoming and well-behaved! Thank you for providing such a wonderful RV sites!

Weekend Trip to Mini Acres Farm

Amazing spot to pitch our tent. Super quiet! Would have loved to have stayed longer. Will most definitely return!

Tamarack Falls Campground

5 sites · RVs2 acres · Donnelly, ID

Right by the shores of Cascade Lake. Just down the road from Tamarack Resort. Walking distance to the Fishing Bridge and Mountain Meadows Adventure Rentals. You can fish from the bridge, rent a jet-ski and go on the lake, or take an off-road vehicle and ride in the mountains - right from your campsite. There is even a small pond on the property. Some history and geography: Where are the Falls? I wondered that myself when first bought the property. I have asked around and done some research - and come up with two answers, although I can't verify either one. First Answer: The old Tamarack Falls have been covered up by the reservoir. That is, there used to be a waterfall in this vicinity, but now it is covered up by Lake Cascade. Maybe, but I can't find any old photographs showing that, and the reservoir has never gotten low enough to see any falls. In fact, at low level, the upper reaches just look like a meadow with the original channel of the Payette River meandering through. But maybe at the narrows by the Fishing Bridge it is possible there are some submerged falls there. Second Answer: The Falls are still there, but they also are not the classic water falls you might imagine. Instead they are the numerous streams that gush down West Mountain every spring and really never completely dry up, even in a dry autumn. They are quite pretty, but not exactly a roaring mountain waterfall. These streams can be seen everywhere, especially in the spring, and they to tumble down a steep slope. They come right out of the rocky faces of the tamarack forest, so it makes sense to call them Tamarack Falls. They are all over the place. At least two of these streams ( and more in the spring) feed the pond on this property. Hence Tamarack Falls Pond. The pond is "artificial" in the sense that it was created when fill dirt used to build West Mountain Road blocked the stream and created a small pond. The pond stays at a constant level because its outflow is a culvert that runs under West Mountain Road and from there into Lake Cascade. Two main streams feed the pond - one on the northside and one on the southside. The shape of the two little submerged valleys give the pond a lopsided crescent shape with a small peninsula curving out into the middle of the pond's west side.

Riverfront Homestead

4 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Garden Valley, ID

This 15-acre homestead is experiencing a revival after more than 50 years of abandonment. We've diligently crafted a pond and established a sizable garden and orchard! Enjoy stunning river vistas and direct access to the river. Situated at the conclusion of The Canyon Section of the South Fork of the Payette River and the commencement of Swirly Canyon, this location is a rafter's paradise. Not an avid rafter? Fear not! There's a plethora of alternative activities to indulge in, such as hiking, strolling the property, observing wildlife, or riding ATVs.

Despite being just 25 minutes from town, your stay promises seclusion with scarcely a neighbor in sight. If you're considering RV camping, please note that the road demands a skilled driver.

Garden Valley Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent83 acres · Crouch, ID

A few years ago, we found this slice of forested paradise—83 acres of raw, unrestricted land tucked away in Garden Valley. The property borders a 500-acre elk preserve and backs up to miles of untouched BLM and Forest Service land. It’s wild, peaceful, and full of life—everything we hoped it would be when we first walked it. While we will only be opening up this spot for a handful of days each year, this particular spot on top of the mountain we wanted to share it with others who value nature, solitude, and a special experience to remember forever. Whether you're hiking, stargazing, exploring, or simply unwinding, we hope this spot offers you the same sense of peace and perspective it gives us. We do not allow motorized vehicles to the campsite, it is a fairly short and easy hike some old logging roads. from where you park your car to the campsite, the hike is only 1.2 miles and 574 vertical feet climb to the site. These roads are well marked and we maintain them well. Campground Rules Absolutely no campfires. No wood fires, no charcoal, no tiki torches—nothing with an open flame. Fire risk here is extremely high, and we take this very seriously. A propane fire pit is provided—this is the only fire source allowed. No fireworks. Period. Not even the little ones. Fire danger is real, and safety comes first. Personal cooking gear is okay—within reason. You’re welcome to bring your own propane stove or fuel-based cooking equipment, but it must be used only in the designated cooking area. No personal firepits or open-flame devices of any kind. Bring your own water. There is no running water on site. Plan ahead and haul in what you need for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. Leave no trace. Pack it in, pack it out. That includes all trash, food, and supplies. Please leave the site better than you found it. Outhouse provided. There is a clean, rustic outhouse for your use. Please be respectful and leave it tidy for the next visitor. Pets welcome. Off-leash is fine as long as they’re friendly, under voice control, and don’t chase wildlife. Clean up after your animals. Music is cool—just not Woodstock. Feel free to enjoy your playlist, but let’s keep the forest peaceful. If it sounds like a concert, it’s too loud. Cell service: Verizon works great for us.
