15mi from Horseshoe Bend · 1 site
Surround yourself with nature on nearly 45 acres of secluded mountain land a mile above the South Fork of the Payette River between Banks and Crouch. This private yurt offers a true off grid mountain experience with electricity, Starlink internet, heat, AC, propane cooking and a wood stove for cozy nights.
This is not a neighborhood or resort setting. This is real mountain wilderness. If you are looking for a Terrace Lakes style community experience, this is not it. If you are looking for quiet, privacy, stars, wildlife and adventure, you’re in the right place.
Sleeping arrangements comfortably accommodate up to five guests with one bunk bed and a futon. Bring your own bedding and pillows based on the season. We recommend zero degree sleeping bags in winter and lightweight bedding in summer. Towels are not provided.
There is no running water and no shower. We provide fresh five gallon drinking water jugs and a clean private porta potty. There is a sink inside for washing dishes.
The yurt is heated and cooled with a mini split system. We do not provide firewood for the wood stove or firepit. Firewood can be purchased locally in Crouch or Garden Valley. There is interior lighting but no exterior lighting, so bring headlamps or flashlights for nighttime use.
Cooking amenities include a two burner propane stove with cast iron griddle, a private deck with propane grill, and a fully stocked cooking setup including dishes, utensils, spices and olive oil.
The yurt is accessed by a short walk from the parking area and terrain may be uneven, muddy, snowy or icy depending on weather. In winter, AWD or 4WD with winter tires or chains is required.
We live on the property but respect your privacy completely. You will not see us unless you request assistance.
This stay is perfect for hikers, snowshoers, hunters, anglers, skiers, rafters, kayakers, off roaders and guests who want a true wilderness experience with modern comforts.

National forest 31mi from Horseshoe Bend · 653 sites
You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho).
Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

Loved watching the newborn goats kidding around and the antics of watching mom rush to a hungry kid.
The only suggestion I have would be to put the yard light on a motion sensor so that the light didn’t come in our windows all night.
Great directions for finding it after dark and excellent and friendly communication.

This is the first time our family has revisited a Hipcamp location that we’d stayed at before. We enjoyed our second visit and will likely continue to visit in the future as it is a beautiful location for a weekend getaway near Boise.
Wade’s yurt is great because it is clean, well stocked with supplies for cooking, and it has an electric heater/AC plus a wood burning stove, so we sleep comfortably when we visit during the winter.
The yurt also has board games, a disc golf hole + frisbees, a corn hole game, a grill, and chairs for around the fire pit.
The outhouse has been freshly cleaned both times we’ve visited as well.
The first time there was tons of snow and my kids enjoyed sledding down the hill on site. This year there was no snow, so we spent an afternoon soaking at Kirkham hot springs instead! Regardless of the season, this is a relaxing place to spend a couple days.
