This spot was easy to get to and instructions were spot on. Communication was good. If you are looking for something more remote this isn’t your place, but I was on a cross country trip home and it was a great place to crash.

Very nice, only complaint from my friends were bugs, but to be expected when there’s land and they have horses. Put out a citronella candle and your good!

Eric and his wife were great hosts. Beautiful green grass and on the river. The fishing off the dock is great. I will definitely be staying here again as long as it’s on Hipcamp! Swimming was amazing.

Weekend Trip to Country Camping close to town

This was a great place for a quick overnight as we roadtripped through the Twin Falls area. The offering of a bathroom and water was really nice. The space was flat for a tent. We enjoyed playing with one of the cats, who was very friendly. The goats were fun, and quiet at night. For directions, using the address via copy/past was correct in Google Maps but for some reason the loaded link through Hip Camp took as a way that ended at a different farm (could have been user error on our part!)

Weekend Trip to 🌲 River Lodge Resort 🏕

This campsite was the highlight of our trip! We went swimming and kayaking in the river, and the backyard is so lush and green. The bathroom was also super clean. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to visit Shoshone Falls, it’s only about 40 mins away. We also loved that Eric and Andi provided firewood for us to use in their huge and beautiful fire pit!

Camping here was easy. I loved the kitties and goats! Linda and her husband welcomed me and let me know where to set up camp. Indoor bathroom was a bonus!
