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.

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

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

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

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

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

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

A nice level of solitude and quiet in an area where there isn’t much of either available. There’s water, electricity & a porta pot that is clean. The view is decent, a working rural vista. Road noise is distant and not intrusive. The pads are on a small hill, so there was a steady breeze, which was nice. Host was friendly and informative, but not overly so. Recommend.

Weekend Trip to Upper Country Paradise

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

Weekend Trip to Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Great spot for our needs. Tyler was very accommodating. We would stay there again!

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 Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Very comfortable stay with great views and easy access

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!

2 nights at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Camping here was a blast. Had a few questions about driving in late, and the Host Tyler answered in no time. Nice spot with great grass for camping. Electricity if you need it. Overall a great experience.

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

The view was beautiful, the portable toilet was clean. The host communicated and helped with electrical challenges via phone. It was quiet and we slept great, didn’t really see anyone. We didn’t unhitch because it was just an overnight, and in trying to reach electrical and water we parked on a slant. Would recommend a long 30 amp cord -50’ or better & if airstream on site isn’t rented you can hookup to the 30amp. Otherwise 15 amp is available. WiFi was available also.

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!
