Stories from the community

1 night at Upper Country Paradise

Everything about this place and our visit was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!!

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 RussellInnThePines

This spot is the most beautiful place we've stayed in quite awhile. Everything you need is there. We brought our parents and their hauler.. thankyou so much for such an amazing experience. We will be back for the 4th

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 Upper Country Paradise

This property was fantastic. It is far away from others and had space to explore and be on your own. The tent was great. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the host left lots of supplies like trash bags, lanterns, batteries, etc. There was a beautiful firepit with chairs, a picnic table, and a nice outhouse to use. I would definitely recommend this property to other campers.

3 nights at Caddyshack RV Pad

Perfect spot! Sat just over 15th hole of Terrace Lakes. The location also had great access to trails for our dirt bikes and Rzr. Ground was level and hookups were a breeze. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Wildedge Ranch Yurt

We loved the yurt! We are normally tent campers, but with a newly adopted dog and an elderly dog we decided that the yurt was a good alternative this time. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge for a couple of days. It felt private, in and among all the trees. The walk from parking to the yurt was tricky for our old arthritic dog but with a little assistance he was able to make it along just fine. Having the amenities in the yurt of the AC and lighting made it extra comfortable. The stove and fridge made cooking easy. Wade was very responsive and even provided a recommendation for easy river access when we asked in the middle of our stay. We can’t wait to come back again.

1 night at Garden Valley River Access Campsite

The site was gorgeous and right next to the river. Great communication from the host too. The site is close to a road so there was occasional noise from passing cars.

3 nights at Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

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

Weekend Trip to Tamarack Falls Campground

We had an awesome stay as usual. One of our favorite spots

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

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

2 nights at Upper Country Paradise

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 Upper Country Paradise

What a special place! So much beauty and privacy. It was perfect for my occasionally reactive dog and my friend’s new pup on her first camping trip. The host is very responsive and the place is immaculately kept. Having the little pond to watch birds and let the dogs wade is a plus. I will 100% be back!

Weekend Trip to Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

We had a fantastic time! Very clean site, plenty of room. Wonderful mobile fire pit. Nice and quiet. Great host!

7 nights at Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

We had a lovely stay on this property! Enjoyed the private area and extra amenities that came along with it. The dirt road allowed for endless walks with our dog and we even ran into a few locals that gave us insight into great trails you can access near the property. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends :) Thank you Ivy for the great communication!

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

The tent site was really nice very private and beautiful views. Lots of sounds of birds and other things screwing around highly recommended as a peaceful place to sleep and rocks and surrounding areas fun to explore.

2 nights at Garden Valley River Access Campsite

This is a wonderful site with lots of options and a surprising amount of space! Big flat area effortlessly hosts a giant 5th wheel (or two!) while a shaded upper area was optimal for my camper van or a trailer. Just below that was a long strip at rivers edge (but still a few feet up the bank) ideal for tents and tiring out dogs (or kids!). Even had a picnic table waiting. The site is easily accessed off the road, but that does mean you’ll have cars passing close by (moderate speed, roughly one every minute or two). Didn’t bother me but something to consider if you’re sensitive to that. As another reviewer noted, yes the neighbors play music on a capable set of outside speakers for an hour or two in the afternoon, but it passed eventually and things were quiet most of the time. I’d still come back. Good Starlink connectivity with just a bit of obstructions at the edges that I could probably have avoided if I setup elsewhere.

1 night at Gold Mine Hotel & RV Park

This place is great fun, clean and just a walk everywhere. Hospitality was great!

1 night at Upper Country Paradise

Absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful time, our dogs were in heaven, and the location is serene. Highly recommend!

1 night at Twisted Pine Ranch, LLC

Beautiful view on a sweet ranch. Horses, cows, pigs, goats and dogs and cats. Meredith had just gotten back in town from vacay when we arrived, but greeted us and showed us around.

Upper Country Paradise

1 site · Lodging35 acres · Midvale, ID

Discover the Ultimate Outdoor Haven: Experience Wilderness Bliss at Our Expansive Campsite in the Heart of Upper Country, Idaho! Nestled on over 30 acres of pristine land, our campsite is perfectly situated next to a serene pond and surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Immerse yourself in nature's embrace while enjoying convenient access to nearby attractions like soothing hot springs, the picturesque Weiser River Trail, and the awe-inspiring wonders of Hells Canyon. Whether you seek thrilling adventures, peaceful relaxation, or a mix of both, our campsite offers it all. Unleash your inner explorer, unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, and create unforgettable memories at our Upper Country Paradise. Description (site overview) Our property is nestled bellow the mountains in the upper country of Idaho close to the small quaint farm towns of Midvale and Cambridge where the nearest stoplight is 30 miles away. Whether you are looking to escape hussell and bussell or have a base camp for your next adventure, you've come to the right place! The campsite is perched up near the large pond about 1000 feet off the main road (which you may see 5 cars a day on or the occasional horseback rider). And not to worry, there is a decent driveway that will bring you within 100 feet of the campsite, a pickup or 4 wheel drive is not required. Spring has Sprung! The trees are blooming along with the wild flowers and the pond is full, an oasis for passing ducks and geese and other wildlife. Once you've established yourself enjoy a nice walk around the pond, cast a line off the pedal boat (catch and release), or enjoy a picnic on the island with the ducks and geese. Peace and quiet is all to be had here (other than the occasional bull frog croaking.) But if adventure is what you seek, adventure you will have! Known as the gateway to Hells Canyon, there are many things to do within 5 minutes to 1 hours drive. Drop into Midvale to hit the Weiser River Trail via hiking, horseback, or mountain bike (electric bikes too). Embark on an off road adventure with your UTV/ATV, or motorcycle up the nearby mountains to Sturgill Peak Lookout where you can see 100 miles in every direction. Schedule and excursion in Hells Canyon (deeper than the grand canyon) or take a dip at the local Mundo hot spring. Fishing and floating can be had at the near by Weiser river or boating at Crane Creek Reservoir. Or maybe you're looking for a base camp for hunting season. Again, the recreational possibilities are endless! Bring your supplies and stay at camp or take a short bike ride/drive into town for some food at the Coffee Cabin or a drink at the local tavern. Maybe you forgot something? the Midvale Market has you covered, and they have adult beverages too, open 7 days a week. Midvale also has a nice little park and a local swimming pool. Site guidelines Respect the locals and they will return the favor. We have a great small town community that looks out for one another. You can ride recreational vehicles on most of the local roads if you choose to bring them, just be respectful of the local laws and courteous to the neighbors who live on dirt roads by keeping the dust down when you pass by. No riding off trails/roads, especially on our property! Please bring life jackets or appropriate floatation devices for children who plan to play or swim in the pond. Explore the property and feel free to pick up wood and branches from the ground for the fire pit, but please do not remove or cut down any trees, and keep fires contained in the fire pit and do not burn when it's windy. Bedding is NOT provided at this time. There is a sheet Please bring sleeping bags or desired bedding for the covered queen bed. We also just built a brand new outhouse! We are slowly adding more amenities and plan to build an outdoor shower next. There is an extra tent under the bed for the kiddos or other guests, also a pop up shad for the warm afternoons, it covers the deck nicely.

Camping near Cascade guide

Overview

Less than a 2-hour drive along Highway 55 from Boise, Cascade is a small town offering big adventures. Perched on the southeast shore of Lake Cascade, Cascade is ground zero for water sports enthusiasts. Take to the water to enjoy boating, water skiing, and windsurfing; go kayaking and white-water rafting along the Payette River‌; or try your luck fishing for rainbow trout‌ and small-mouth bass. Some 86 miles of shoreline are encompassed within Lake Cascade State Park, which has ten developed campgrounds that include glamping yurts at Osprey Point and RV sites with full hookups at Poison Creek and Ridgeview, as well as group camping sites and dispersed camping areas. The fun doesn’t only take place by the lakeside either. Winter campers can go skiing in the West Mountains, and there are miles of hiking, mountain biking, and snowmobiling trails in Boise National Forest, along with more than 70 campgrounds.
