19 acres, smack dab in the middle of nowhere! It has the beautiful green canyon on its western edge and steveco farms surrounding it. The canyon is steep and wild animals may be present so caution is advised. Cell service is hit and miss which I love this creates forced family fun and gets everyone off of there mobile devices.

Mountain View Glamping Yurt

1 site · Lodging2 acres · Bancroft, ID
Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains of southeast Idaho at an elevation of 6500 ft, our yurt has magnificent views of Mt. Bonneville and the surrounding Pebble Creek Basin. Along with a handful of neighbors, within a private property recreational area, we are surrounded by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, with vehicle access from mid-May through mid-November each year. Pebble Yurt has a 30 ft diameter with a partial loft for a total of 900 ft2 of indoor living space. You will be completely off grid, but with running hot and cold water, solar electricity, and heating and cooling features. We also feature an indoor shower, sink, and composting toilet. Bring your ATV's, mountain bikes, or hiking boots to explore the Pebble Basin. Or take a short drive to Lava Hot Springs for world-class hot pools, water slides, or white water rafting. Fishing in the Portneuf River or Chesterfield Reservoir, exploring the Chesterfield historic town site, or trying out a zipline or go-cart are other local activities. Pebble Yurt was built circa 2010 by a retiring forest service employee to the highest standards. We've used that canvas to create a unique glamping experience for our guests, with the best creature comforts available in a wilderness setting.

Forest camping near Idaho Falls with campfires guide

Overview

For campers, Idaho Falls is one of Idaho’s hidden gems. The Snake River flows through the town, providing boating and fishing opportunities. Nearby, you can soak in hot springs, bike the Greenbelt, or hike into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Local RV parks and campgrounds provide easy access to four-season fun. You don’t have to go far to find great camping in Idaho Falls. Bring your tent or RV to South Tourist Park for dry camping along the river. Right from camp, hop on the Greenbelt Trail and ride down to the town’s waterfall. South of town, North Bingham Park welcomes RVs. You can even shelter your horses in the park’s barn. To the north, Jefferson County Lake and Beaver Dick Park offer waterfront camping. Are you looking for autumn tent camping? Head east toward the Caribou-Targhee National Forest for brilliant fall colors. Near Swan Valley, campgrounds like Big Elk and Palisades Creek nestle among the trees. You won’t get Wi-Fi, but the view from your picnic table alone is worth the trip.
