It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.

Awesome site. As others have noted, it is near the highway, but there is a nice berm in-between and it really wasn't that noticeable. Will be back!

Dreamy place. Smells like pine trees all day. Beautiful views of the Palouse. Its very well set up. Hot water in the faucet and bathoom. The outside sink was a plus. The table is very big, lots of dry firewood, spacious area, lots of parking, sting lights, the owners were very accomodating, flexible and very welcoming. The kids were very loud and they didn't once come over or say anything.

We loved the private and beautiful spot at Travis land. Waking up in the morning and seeing the rolling hills was breath taking. The facilities were nice and the place was easy to find even late at night.

I hate to leave a good review because I want this place just for myself!!! This Hip Camp is absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beautiful views. On top of the scenery, the amenities were fantastic. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. The bathroom and shower were spotless, the site was spacious, and it was clear the host really cares about keeping everything in top condition. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. Their warmth and attention to detail made the experience even more special. It’s rare to find a place that combines natural beauty with such comfort and convenience, but this spot has it all. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back — highly recommend to anyone looking for a camping experience that’s both stunning and stress-free!

This site has nice pine trees, which contribute to privacy and a feeling of being in the woods. We easily backed our 30’ fifth wheel into this spacious site. Travis has provided some extremely appreciated amenities, such as a giant picnic table and trash can. This was our second stay here and we greatly enjoyed sitting under the awning eating dinner, listening to the sound of the drizzling rain and pine cones dropping to the ground.

We stayed at Crooks Lookout for the second time, and it was just as wonderful as our first visit. Travis keeps the campsite extremely well maintained, and the setting is peaceful and quiet with plenty of privacy—exactly what we were looking for. His dog, Mater, greeted us warmly and stopped by to visit during our stay, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also had the pleasure of meeting Travis himself; he’s a genuinely generous and welcoming host. Everything about our stay was top notch, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again!

was an amazing stay! Travis was super nice and even brought us fresh veggies from their garden when he came up to introduce himself. His pup was the sweetest and gave us a warm welcome too. The shower and toilet were such a luxury to have after days of camping and driving. The spot itself is peaceful, with beautiful views, and you can tell Travis has put a lot of thought into making it comfortable while still feeling like real camping. We’d definitely come back!

Perfect! Beautiful location, friendly host, and very well designed glamping amenities! We had the most easy-going camping experience, and will definitely be back! We arrived late, and were welcomed by lovely patio lights — made it easy to unpack and setup camp in! The kitchen sink & counter, flushing toilet and hot shower made our whole stay luxurious and easy. Even a garbage can was provided, so we didn’t have to pack our own bags and pack it out. A huge, beautiful picnic table with a view, a fire pit and firewood… this spot made camping simple, easy and beautiful. This was a luxury camp-style. The highway is right next to camp, but it was pretty quiet at night. I always wear ear plugs, and slept fine. My family slept fine without them, but for light sleepers it might be a good idea to pack some.

Travis was great, kids were very respectful of guests being on-site. Shower/toilet was a very nice perk. Great jumping point to Pullman, WA or Moscow, ID. Thank you for the fresh raspberries! Sunsets were amazing. Signs on highway for campsite were very helpful. Privacy from owner's house was excellent.

We loved staying here. It was close to Pullman/Moscow so we could do our college campus tours and explore town a little. We felt secluded and had privacy which was nice and the views were great while sitting outside playing cards. I would definitely stay here in the future and reccomend this place to anyone.

We loved the little private camp spot that Travis provided. It had everything we needed - electric hookup, shower, toilet and sink. Beautiful view and starry sky at night. We didn't stay long, but we were happy to have a peaceful place to rest for the night as we continued our journey home to SW Washington. Thank you!

Great location with easy access. 27’ Class C pulling a small car, easy area to pull into to disconnect the car and back into the site. Great little bathroom with shower however we did not need. All utilities- 30a power, water and sewer. Located the Starlink mini by the fire pit for the best reception. Travis was a great host! A little bit of road noise from the highway but did not bother us. Highly recommend!

Travis and his family are extremely gracious host. They have created an amazing space with a wonderful view, full hookup, and a separate bathhouse as a bonus. Mater, the friendly dog made our travel pup feel right at home. Be sure to ask Travis about his locally sourced coffee. It is the best way to start your day and you will support local efforts- it’s a great deal.

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.
