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.

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

Nice and peaceful spot. Camped here while traveling across the country. Hosts were attentive and polite.

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 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.

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.

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

It was perfect and was as listed. Very easy to find. We got to camp in the middle of the day and the shade from the trees was wonderful. Yummy fresh eggs! We would suggest renting if in the area.

1 night at Basic Kuna space with full hookups

It was level, big spot. Getting there seems like the scenic route to get there. Pickups pulling rvs should enter at the 2nd gate from kuna road.

3 nights at Garden Valley Camper's Hideaway

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

3 nights at Murphys Point Alpaca Ranch

I will always reccomend a stay. Drew is so nice and the animals are so cute

1 night at Tawa Tipis

This was a perfect stop for us on a road trip from WA to CO, it's just off the highway and was super easy to get to after a long day of driving. The space is thoughtfully put together, clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The only thing I can think of that could be a downside for some is that it is surrounded by farmland so you can smell the cow pasture depending on which way the wind blows. However, it was perfect for our needs, would book it again if on this road trip again

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Quiet area, Tyler was extremely kind. I stayed here for a layover, it was easy to access!

10 nights at Basic Kuna space with full hookups

We were having a hard time finding a campsite for 2 full weeks anywhere in the Boise area. This was a last minute change of our plans to spend about 2 weeks in Kuna. A grandson’s graduation and much needed time with my son and his family. We looked at Hipcamp app and like the location of the Kuna Coltins basic campsite. I texted the owner via Hipcamp message system. Coltin responded that he could accommodate us for the two weeks and we were so happy that we landed a spot. He was very upfront that the property was very basic but did have full hookups . He explained that it was about 10 minutes from my son’s house and it was that exactly. We have 2 Labrador’s full grown and needed a small area for them to do their business outside. His property was more than enough. We also found a dog park about 3 miles down the road for them to run and get tired. The gentleman that worked on the property had a rv repair business and was very helpful in so many ways. Our dogs thought he was pretty cool too and they are very picky. Everything worked just as other highly price rv camps and it was even better. We will definitely come back if it’s available. Being so close to our families home , we didn’t need to have lush green grass or a manicure hedge. We appreciate Coltin allowing us to camp on his property for an extended time and a great price. I highly recommend his property for a few days or multiple days.

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Great location right off of 84. Our class B van and tent fit easily.

2 nights at Downtown Boise's Best location!

Great spot! So nice to have a green space directly behind the camper and being walking distance from downtown was fantastic. Only issue we had was a person with off leash dogs rushing our dogs - anyone with more sensitive dogs will want to be on high alert. Thankfully no major problems. Overall loved the site and hope to return in the future!

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.

Garden Valley Hideaway

1 site · 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.
