The Retreat Juniper Tent/Van sites sit at the base of Green's Mountain nestled among the Junipers and Pinion pines. You will stay just outside the entrance to the City of Rocks National Reserve off the road that connects it to Castle Rocks State Park.
Enjoy all the fun of camping under the stars with an amazing secluded location at the entrance to the City of Rocks. Enjoy Rock Climbing, Bouldering, Hiking, Biking, Fishing, and Hot Springs, all within a 5 minute drive! The Park is full all summer but you will have your own quiet base camp 2 minutes away. Sit around the fire pit at night and gaze at the amazing star filled sky. Sites 8, 9, and 10 are all in the same private forested area and great for groups but still separated for plenty of privacy.
Each site has a level tent pad, parking area for a car or van (car/van camping ok), and access to potable water, bathrooms, and garbage. We have now added a 15amp plug to each site to provide power for things like phone and laptop charging, air pump, medical devices, or other basics at no charge. Camper vans, or other vehicles that want to plug in to the power will need to pay an additional $5/day electric fee. No EV charging. Parking is allowed right at camp but no vehicles bigger than a van (20ft), and no trailers. No mosquitos here! PET FRIENDLY!
This land has been in our family over 100 years. The Retreat has the closest campsites to the City of Rocks.

Rock Wren is absolutely beautiful! The tent feels luxurious with lots of personal touches to help guests feel comfortable. The night we spent was really cold, and the hosts provided extra blankets. We were super cozy. Would love to come back!

Great spot! Ross was really kind and stopped by to check in on us and say hello shortly after we arrived. The showers were AWESOME after a hot day in the park. Overall, it was a great find and I would definitely stay again.

A nice quiet place & a very helpful & resourceful host. All I heard were hawks, owls, and doves. Loved the outdoor shower and access to firewood.. City of Rocks was amazing!

Great alternative to staying in the City of Rocks park itself. Close enough to commute into the park for activities while being kind to the pocket book. Also closer to the local swimming hole and pizza place.
The hosts are thoughtful with their amenities including a hot shower, a clean outhouse, and garbage services (something the park quit offering).

First time seeing The City of Rocks and I'm really glad to have stayed at this campground. There are places just down the road to pick up a few extra supplies and just in case you're wondering, I think there's pretty decent cell service in this area. I appreciate the thorough driving directions.

We really enjoyed our stay. We have a very large tent. Host helped us choose the site where it would fit. Area is quiet and peaceful with easy access to City of Rocks and Castle Rocks. We aren't climbers but really enjoyed the hiking and spectacular scenery. Pit toilets were very clean and in built into a cute rustic structure. Shower was terrific. Great instructions all around the property. Town of Almo is tiny but has a a visitors center for the area, great ice cream and a pizza place with a huge selection of craft beers and ciders.
Hope we get back to this beautiful remote part of Idaho in the future.

Nice site very close to the City of Rocks entrance. The first night we were the only ones there and it was peaceful. City of Rocks is amazing we hiked all over. In the afternoon a large rain storm came through so we decided not to stay a second night, instead we headed to our next destination. We would stay again.

A great price for all of the accommodations included, better than what you’d get anywhere else in the area. I booked another night and already wrote a previous review, however I forgot to mention this fact.

A nice quiet and peaceful spot to camp for a few nights. Ross was very responsive, accommodating, and kind. The hot shower was awesome and having power to charge my phone was great; the location is so close to City of Rocks that my phone didn’t have enough time to charge in the car while exploring the area.
