Nestled on over 30 acres of pristine land, our campsite is perfectly situated next to a serene pond and surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Immerse yourself in nature's embrace while enjoying convenient access to nearby attractions like soothing hot springs, the picturesque Weiser River Trail, and the awe-inspiring wonders of Hells Canyon. Whether you seek thrilling adventures, peaceful relaxation, or a mix of both, our campsite offers it all. Unleash your inner explorer, unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, and create unforgettable memories at our Upper Country Paradise.
Description (site overview)
Our property is nestled bellow the mountains in the upper country of Idaho close to the small quaint farm towns of Midvale and Cambridge where the nearest stoplight is 30 miles away. Whether you are looking to escape hussell and bussell or have a base camp for your next adventure, you've come to the right place! The campsite is perched up near the large pond about 1000 feet off the main road (which you may see 5 cars a day on or the occasional horseback rider). And not to worry, there is a decent driveway that will bring you within 100 feet of the campsite, a pickup or 4 wheel drive is not required. ! The pond is an oasis for passing ducks and geese and other wildlife. Once you've established yourself enjoy a nice walk around the pond, cast a line off the pedal boat (catch and release), or enjoy a picnic on the island with the ducks and geese. Peace and quiet is all to be had here (other than the occasional bull frog croaking.) But if adventure is what you seek, adventure you will have! Known as the gateway to Hells Canyon, there are many things to do within 5 minutes to 1 hours drive. Drop into Midvale to hit the Weiser River Trail via hiking, horseback, or mountain bike (electric bikes too). Embark on an off road adventure with your UTV/ATV, or motorcycle up the nearby mountains to Sturgill Peak Lookout where you can see 100 miles in every direction. Schedule and excursion in Hells Canyon (deeper than the grand canyon) or take a dip at the local Mundo hot spring. Fishing and floating can be had at the near by Weiser river or boating at Crane Creek Reservoir. Or maybe you're looking for a base camp for hunting season. Again, the recreational possibilities are endless! Bring your supplies and stay at camp or take a short bike ride/drive into town for some food at the Coffee Cabin or a drink at the local tavern. Maybe you forgot something? the Midvale Market has you covered, and they have adult beverages too, open 7 days a week. Midvale also has a nice little park and a local swimming pool.

Lakes, creeks, and peaks, oh my! Payette National Forest has ‘em all. Salmon-Challis National Forest and Nez-Pearce Clearwater National Forest are its neighbors, while its Victor Peak, Loon Creek, Loon Lake, North Loon Mountain, Bruin Mountain, Bear Pete Mountain, and Boulder Creek could keep you busy for months. Forage for mushrooms or berries, fish in the chinook salmon hatchery at the South Fork of the Salmon River, or snowboard down Brundage Mountain. Hike to the three historic fire lookouts, or check out the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, the second largest wilderness area outside Alaska (don’t worry, plenty before you have visited and returned).
In this wealth of outdoor activity, it’s hard to tear yourself away for a visit into town. However, you will be glad you took the time to visit the closest town of McCall, where luxury mountain lodges have thermal spas perfect for resting your aching bones in between treks up or down the mountains.

National forest 61mi from McCall · 653 sites
You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho).
Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

3 nights at Upper Country Paradise Camping
Alright folks strap in:
I am not a bug or camping or outdoorsy person. My iridescent partner, however, has all the appreciation and love for it.
This GORGEOUS getaway felt safe, warm, comfortable and a lot of thoughtfulness has obviously been put into this place. The heater kept us v warm on the cold rainy nights, bugs were ZERO issue with the fly traps (and time of year) and other precautions the owners put in place.
The sounds of the birds (geese and ducks and magpies and so many more a birder could name), the cows in the distance, combined with the Mountain View’s, we didn’t even explore the camping chairs and canopy and table they had provided under the bed, the citronella candle (for my paranoid heart) and cozy protected sleeping area were all I needed.
We didn’t speak with a single person except for venturing into town and patroning the fab local businesses - a total dream for our disconnected getaway. THANK YOU
(Also easily accessed with our 2WD vehicle)

The space was super clean and well maintained. It was nice location to hang out in the evening. I think we came a little late in the season for the pond, as it was quite low, but my son still had a bit of fun on the paddle boat. We did head down to Mann Reservoir (15min away), so we could bust out our paddle boards for a bit.

This was my second time here and it’s just as clean, quiet, and beautiful as last time. My dog loves the smells and freedom to roam. The place has so many little extras like the solar lights for paths at night that make it even more special. I came to try to learn some night sky photography and it didn’t diss along with stars! I will definitely be back.

Chris has created a peaceful space. We had to cut our trip short, but will definitely be back to enjoy the quiet, peaceful, wildlife filled oasis that Chris has created. You have the basic amenities you would need or want for a comfortable stay, plus some extras that Chris has so thoughtfully provided, should you need them. We really liked the fact that the closest neighbor is far enough away that we didn’t have to worry about our pup being off leash. Due to us having to cut our trip short, Chris was more than willing to work with us for a future stay, which was not expected in anyway, but GREATLY appreciated. If you are looking for a small town, quiet, peaceful oasis, this is THE spot.

This is a perfect glamping set-up. Not too fancy, not too primitive. Tent is up-to-date, and everything has been thought of. Well maintained paths and tidy bathroom. Lovely view, fun duck boat! A cozy squeeze with two teens on air mattresses, but we all fit. The surrounding area is the pure Southern Idaho of my childhood. Look closely for the tiny beauty of a wildflower, volcanic rock. We were very happy here.

The site was well-maintained, and the outhouse was built. The amenities were inviting, especially the cozy fire pit area and they had a camp stove, a pop up shade tent and other things for camping under the bed. I loved the fact that the tent had a propane heater which kept us cozy and warm thru the nighr. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected family loss, we had to leave early and couldn’t fully enjoy everything, including the fire pit. Before departing, we made sure to tidy up, picking up some stray foil and trash around the fire pit and cleaning up after our dog, as well as some older waste we noticed.
Despite our shortened stay, we were impressed by the serene atmosphere and attention to detail. We hope to return in the future to fully soak in the experience. Thank you for making our brief time there memorable.

The yurt had a beautiful view. My dog loved getting the ball from the pond. Our other dog kept getting cheat grass stuck in her fur. I loved not having to keep my dogs on a leash. At night there was a lighted up walkway from the yurt to the fire pit and to our cars that stayed on throughout the night. That was a bonus. There was a few houses we could see near by but it did not effect our camping experience. I also loved having a paddle boat we could use and it was easy to get in and out of the pond. There was a bit of a wasp problem. We noticed all the wasp sticky catcher thingies around the campsite, and so we used them to protect our food because when we ate was when they came out. It seemed to do the trick. The outhouse was surprisingly clean and did not stink as long as you remembered to put the seat down when you are done. Having a noon checkout was perfect. It is nice not having to be rushed out on your last day.
