Bristol is bordered by the Portneuf River to the North and Mt Moh to the South, offering river access and a host of trails. Fishing in the river is great, boasting rainbow, cut throat, brook and brown trout. There's also a few great swimming holes right below the property, including a 15 ft. waterfall. Guests may hike trails to the old mines, or be directed to a plethora of trails for biking nearby. The setting at Bristol is uniquely peaceful for the busy tourist town of Lava Hot Springs. Although still technically within city limits, the place offers an atmosphere of it's own, seemingly outside of time. Once a miners camp and stage coach stop along the Oregon Trail, we have worked hard to maintain the buildings and grounds. With an abundance of trees, (bonus if you can name all varieties) the main compound is well shaded through the hot summer months. Our single room, quaint cabins have a shared bathroom with showers and towels available. We are a minutes walk from the hot springs and downtown, so no need to fight for a parking spot!

3. Caribou National Forest

The smaller of the two parks in Caribou-Targhee National Forests, Caribou is a welterweight not to be underestimated. Just south of its older brother, this land spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and is a crucial spot for supporting caribou populations. None of the animals here are bashful: bison, moose, deer, mountain lions, falcons, elk, and even black bears abound! Beautiful to snap shot from a distance. Just south of the forest, Bear Lake is a fun spot to take a dip after you hike one of Caribou’s dozens of peaks (Mead Peak and Hawks Peak have gorgeous views, as does Big Elk Mountain at the northern tip of the park). At the south end, you’ll find campgrounds, fast flowing creeks, and the Minnetonka Cave at St. Charles Canyon. This is a site to see, but it stays 40 degrees down there all year so be sure to pack a coat, even if you’re sweating above ground. When you’re done, stop in the charming small town of Montpelier, surrounded by rolling hills and full of retro grocers and kitschy eateries. Yum!

You’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to take advantage of all that Targhee National Forest has to offer. On several million acres, waterfalls cascade down volcanic cliffs, and crystal clear pools provide some of the best cutthroat trout fishing in the world. Rafters and tubers frolic in the shadows of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and the smell of campfires makes you feel like an Oregon Trailer. Ancient rock formations sprout wildflowers, providing a scenic spot to boulder or rock climb, and Big Spring & Palisades Reservoir boasts over 70 miles of shoreline to bask in the sun after a long day of hiking. Two of the trails here access the high-altitute Alaska Basin, as well as trails in Grand Teton National Park. You’ll also be right next to the city of Idaho Falls, perfect for stocking up on the essentials before a full day of exploring grizzly bear habitats and karst limestone formations, all under the watchful eye of the snow-peaked Tetons!

1 night at The Aspen Grove Inn at Heise Bridge

Charming Spot with Beautiful Views — Just Be Aware of the Details We stayed at Aspen Grove Inn and RV Park for a quick getaway and overall had a nice experience. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the property itself is very well maintained and cared for. We stayed in the O'Canada Yurt, which was clean, cozy, and super cute — a fun and unique place to stay. The hosts clearly take pride in their property and keep everything in great shape. That said, they are quite strict and have a number of rules, which made us a little nervous about missing something and being charged. We made sure to thoroughly clean the yurt ourselves before leaving just to be safe. Our kids really enjoyed the Borrow Barn — the games and toys were a great bonus and helped keep them entertained. One disappointment was that several amenities listed on the website, like swimming, mini golf, and rock climbing, were not actually available on-site but rather at a different location north of the property for an additional fee. It would’ve been helpful to have that made clearer in advance, as we chose the stay in part based on those offerings, mostly for the pool. On the bright side, the bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean — definitely appreciated! All in all, we enjoyed our short stay. With a little more transparency on the amenities and perhaps a slightly more relaxed approach to the rules, this place could be even more enjoyable.

I loved the whole vibe of the place. Cute little touches every where, like a pair of old ice skates hanging on a bannister. Breakfast was amazing, and so was the coffee. Rooms where small and cozy. Bathrooms were rustic, could use a little dusting from floor to ceiling, but clean towels and a great shower. Will definitely be back!!

The camper was perfect for our one night stay! Cozy bed- FYI perfect for a short person! My boyfriend and I are tall so our feet hung off the bed but were comfortable! Bathrooms are nicely kept and the area is fun with the lightening strung up around the property. Highly recommend if looking for a place to crash for a night and chill!

I loved staying at bristol cabins and so did my pup. It was a beautiful property along the river. We felt welcomed and free to use the facilities. It was a step up from camping and exactly what we were looking for.
