Meadow Springs campground lies at the foot of the Elkhorn hills, on St. John’s bench in SE Idaho. Surrounded by open fields and accessible only by dirt road, this unique spot is located next to two small natural ponds, and as such, is a terrific spot for bird watching and golden sunsets. It is the site of an old homestead, and the surrounding land is still actively farmed, so you can look out over open fields of this year’s crop as you enjoy dinner and quiet evenings in the fresh air.Whether you come as a single family for an adventurous night outdoors, or as a group with one to several tents or RV’s, this site has room to accommodate and is far enough away to be remote, (no neighbors!) while still close enough to town and other attractions to be convenient.--10 minutes from downtown Malad (Picture a small Idaho town with no stoplight still, but easy-to-find grocery, drive-in, pizza place, hospital, bar, etc)--15 mins from Devils Creek Reservoir and Malad Summit trails--20 minutes from Downata Hot Springs--30 minutes from Lava Hot Springs--3 hours from Yellowstone and Jackson HoleLearn more about this land:Come escape and recharge in a private campground under the shade of giant poplars alive with birdsong and a sky full of stars you can actually see.
Located on the ancestral lands of the Shoshone-Bannock people, this campsite is nestled under a grove of poplars planted by the original homesteaders over 100 years ago. It features a Tipi, a newly built outhouse, two swings, a picnic table, fire-ring, cast-iron hand pump to access well water, plenty of flat ground for tents, RV's, and car parking, and most importantly, wide-open space in every direction. If you are looking for somewhere completely opposite of hectic city living, this is it.

National forest 61mi from Malad City · 270 sites
The smaller of the two parks in Caribou-Targhee National Forests, Caribou is a welterweight not to be underestimated. Just south of its older brother, this land spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and is a crucial spot for supporting caribou populations. None of the animals here are bashful: bison, moose, deer, mountain lions, falcons, elk, and even black bears abound! Beautiful to snap shot from a distance.
Just south of the forest, Bear Lake is a fun spot to take a dip after you hike one of Caribou’s dozens of peaks (Mead Peak and Hawks Peak have gorgeous views, as does Big Elk Mountain at the northern tip of the park). At the south end, you’ll find campgrounds, fast flowing creeks, and the Minnetonka Cave at St. Charles Canyon. This is a site to see, but it stays 40 degrees down there all year so be sure to pack a coat, even if you’re sweating above ground. When you’re done, stop in the charming small town of Montpelier, surrounded by rolling hills and full of retro grocers and kitschy eateries. Yum!

As if you needed more inspiration to get out and enjoy the unexpected beauty of Idaho, the Curlew National Grassland resides in Power County—ya gotta come see what’s so powerful about this place! You won’t be let down by the fortitude of history and scenery at this former home to Shoshone and Bannock Indian tribes. Formerly a ranching town laid to waste by the Dust Bowl, this space was created to sustain wildlife and fish, as well as water and recreation resources in the county.
Even if you can’t stay the night, there are plenty of scenic drives to take through the park, and panoramic views to capture on your camera. Sagebrush open desert provides little shade, but the Stone Reservoir has some cool-off opportunities in the form of boating, swimming, and fishing. You can also catch a chill in the year-round 40 degree Minnetonka Caves nearby, or warm up during a winter visit at the Downata Hot Springs in Malad.

Bristol is bordered by the Portneuf River to the North and Mt Moh to the South, offering river access and a host of trails. Fishing in the river is great, boasting rainbow, cut throat, brook and brown trout. There's also a few great swimming holes right below the property, including a 15 ft. waterfall. Guests may hike trails to the old mines, or be directed to a plethora of trails for biking nearby. The setting at Bristol is uniquely peaceful for the busy tourist town of Lava Hot Springs. Although still technically within city limits, the place offers an atmosphere of it's own, seemingly outside of time. Once a miners camp and stage coach stop along the Oregon Trail, we have worked hard to maintain the buildings and grounds. With an abundance of trees, (bonus if you can name all varieties) the main compound is well shaded through the hot summer months. Our single room, quaint cabins have a shared bathroom with showers and towels available. We are a minutes walk from the hot springs and downtown, so no need to fight for a parking spot!

This was our second visit to Jen's Idaho Yurt. Our family enjoyed it so much the first time, we came back a few years later. The Yurt is well stocked, comfortable and so peaceful. Great for family time away and close enough to Lava Hot springs for convenient daily trips into town for tubing and soaking in the hot springs.

The picnic table and fire pit were wonderful additions that made our stay even more enjoyable. We also spotted some large birds that were fun to watch, which added to the charm of the setting. We’ve already booked another stay and can’t wait to return. The hosts were friendly and provided great communication throughout!

Ken’s land is gorgeous! Site 1 is absolutely beautiful. It was clean, well maintained and very private. It’s different than standard campgrounds where the host drives and drops by, we appreciated the seclusion. Because Ken responds immediately, we knew if we needed anything, we’d be able to get ahold of him fast. I would recommend 4 wheel drive once you leave the roadway, there is kind of a steep hill going down, but it’s not bad, and you’ll have to drive across the creek to get to the site. The porta potty is close, but you’ll have to walk across the creek to get to it. If you appreciate the beauty of trees, you will love the ones here, they’re majestic. Between the trees, the creek next to the site, and the birds singing it was so peaceful and relaxing. It is truly stunning and has been added to our favorites. We can’t wait to go back.

There was so much to do from seeing the animals, to the peddlebikes, and the playground. The campsites were so adorable with the cutest farm decor and flowers. They really thought of every detail and it felt so homey. The bathrooms were clean and so nicely decorated as well.

Absolutely amazing camping spot! This place had everything we needed and more — clean facilities, great amenities, beautiful surroundings, and such a relaxing atmosphere. You can really tell the host cares about making sure guests have the best experience possible. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating from start to finish.
One of the best parts is the location — it’s close to town, making it super convenient, while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. There are also so many nearby places to explore, whether you want outdoor adventures, sightseeing, shopping, or great local food. It made the whole trip even better having so much to do nearby.
