Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

We loved our stay at this charming campsite in a small Idaho town. The peaceful setting by the pond made it extra special, and being surrounded by cattle gave it a true country feel. The host was wonderful and provided all the essentials we needed. Everything was clean and well-kept, and we especially enjoyed floating around the pond in the little boat. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Weekend Trip to Terriland

Terri was super nice and the property was very well maintained and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay!

3 nights at Murphys Point Alpaca Ranch

Great little spot! Drew was great, engaging and fun to talk to. Alpacas were cute and very interesting to watch them interact…even had a baby alpaca born while I was there…quiet and very welcoming… Will go back when in the area again

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

Cute little campsite. Outstanding views, clean shady area to camp in. Nice little fire pit, grass was soft and green to put tents on. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

Beautiful location, wonderful and responsive hosts. There is a fire pit, Adirondack chairs and lights in the trees. It has a very welcoming feel. When we first arrived, there were deer grazing in the lawn area. There are full hookups at the sights which make life in an RV much nicer. We loved it and would love to go back

Weekend Trip to Mini Acres Farm

Lovely shaded campsite with great views over the farmland with hills behind. Really peaceful and relaxing. Trees provided some good bird life. All amenities provided and fresh eggs brought to us. Great stopover on our way to Oregon. Highly recommend.

3 nights at Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

Nice place. Clean. Amenities were nice. Wildlife was nice.

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

A nice level of solitude and quiet in an area where there isn’t much of either available. There’s water, electricity & a porta pot that is clean. The view is decent, a working rural vista. Road noise is distant and not intrusive. The pads are on a small hill, so there was a steady breeze, which was nice. Host was friendly and informative, but not overly so. Recommend.

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

This was a great private space. The paddle boat and pond was a special addition.

Great place! Very quiet, tent was warm and bed comfy.. The pond is awesome and my dogs had a total blast playing in it! My favorite part was all the birds! Geese, doves, an owl and tons of pretty small birds! Thanks for letting us stay Chris!!

1 night at Micone Ranch

Wir haben die Ranch gut gefunden. Die Zufahrt war für unseren großen Camper eine Herausforderung, die wir aber gut gemeistert haben. Der Stellplatz war oberhalb des Hauses. Anfangs war noch die Autobahn gut zu hören. Tamara war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin.

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.
