1 night at Triple H Mini Ranch

Farm life amid suburbia. Renee is a great host and the animals are delightful. The grass is clean and green, not at all a stinky mess. Fresh fruit and eggs were offered and we gratefully enjoyed them!

We absolutely loved camping at Renee's. She is a generous, kind soul. Our van pulled into large clean green grass field, with an equally clean outhouse. It was fenced between her beautiful garden and a sweet horse. Renee is a clear communicator, lives on site and provided a safe place for the night. I would recommend this spot especially to solo females.

1 night at Triple H Mini Ranch

I had the camp area to myself, and the Porta potty was the cleanest smelling, and cleanest overall, I ever experienced. It was very quiet albeit started out warm for my one night stay. It cooled down in the hours before dawn and I corrected a few things to make the next evening, in Boise, a bit more comfortable.

Renee is een vriendelijke host. We kampeerden in een mooi omsloten veld op een heerlijk grasveld. Het is er veilig en rustig. Bij aankomst kregen we heerlijk fruit uit de moestuin.

1 night at Triple H Mini Ranch

Wonderful spot. We will definitely be returning. Communication was consistent and clear- directions were easy to follow and the space was easy to use. The hosts were kind and helpful. Renee shared all sorts of goodies from their garden. While the space is in town, it felt private and had a nice on-the-farm feel.

A beautiful and welcoming property on the outskirts of Lewiston, ID. This is one of the most restful and pleasant HipCamp sites I’ve experienced in the last three years. With a ranch feel, including livestock of all kinds, bountiful gardens, and all the amenities you need for a peaceful and restful stay. Renee and her husband are gracious hosts and will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. 5 stars!

Weekend Trip to Butterfield Meadows

A beautiful property...it was the perfect location for us to try our first 'boondocking' weekend. Very quiet and serene, completely off-grid. Corlene and her husband were gracious hosts. The only thing I would say is, ask Corlene or her husband where the best place is to pull in...suggested areas weren't marked and we were worried about swampy areas. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.
