Built in the 1940's by the late actor Eugene Pallette as a hideaway from Hollywood and a Refuge from looming world disaster after World War 2. There once was a cannery, a power plant a sawmill and a 5,000 sq' concrete warehouse built to withstand anything and house years of provisions. Many buildings are still standing and utilized.
The past guest list included Cark Gable (Gone with The Wind) Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan and Errol Flynn and many more. Located on the shores of the Imnaha river we have 2 miles of accessible, private spots. There is a lot of wildlife here and there is no better place to "unwind" and regroup.
Pitch your tent in total privacy along the shores of the River and then kick back and take in all the sights and sounds of Nature. Surrounded by canyons on all sides tucked away in a private Valley is 300+ acres of room to roam along the river. We have firewood and frozen bottles of water for coolers available for an extra charge And have added 3 outhouses.
Potable water, picnic tables, and outhouses on site. Pets are welcome. Camp fires are permitted outside of a fire ban.
Our guests love staying here: "Camping at the ranch was pure enjoyment. We did not see or hear anything but the rushing river and the surrounding woods. The stars at night we’re amazing and there was plenty to explore on the property and nearby."

The Evans Farm is a Century Farm which has been in our family for three generations (with the fourth generation children enjoying it now). It was a self sufficient family farm for many years with Jersey Dairy cattle, Suffolk Sheep, pigs, quality horses, both Draft and Riding, and a flock of chickens. A large garden supplied family vegetables. A love for the land and the area were all part of the Farm. Located two miles from Joseph, three miles from Wallowa Lake, and close to hiking, fishing, camping, and outdoor adventures, the Farm is secluded but offers easy access to the surrounding area.

Divide Nature Camp

36mi from Riggins · 6 sites
Nestled deep within the Wallowa Mountains, this remote wilderness camp offers a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and reconnection. With six rustic cabins and three tent sites, the land has most recently served as a healing place for combat-wounded veterans—chosen for its quiet strength, natural beauty, and the deep peace that settles in the moment you arrive.
Located just ten miles from multiple trailheads into the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, the camp is an ideal base for hikers, backpackers, and seekers of stillness alike. Though fully off-grid, the property is supported by a solar power system and offers running water and internet access—providing comfort while preserving the simplicity and sacredness of the wild.
The surrounding forest invites you into a slower rhythm. Tall pine, fir, and spruce trees release rich, aromatic oils into the air, creating a natural setting for forest bathing along the camp’s trails. Each breath carries grounding and calming properties long known to support the nervous system, ease stress, and encourage deep presence. Wildflowers bloom in season, birdsong fills the mornings, butterflies and dragonflies dance through the clearings, and wildlife quietly moves through the landscape. This is a place where silence is not empty, but full.
Evenings invite reflection beneath expansive skies. With no light pollution, the night reveals millions of stars, offering a humbling sense of wonder and perspective. An outdoor fire pit (available outside of fire season) provides a sacred gathering space—perfect for quiet conversation, shared stories, or simply sitting together in warmth and stillness.
The outdoor kitchen and picnic shelter support both community and self-sufficiency. Guests have access to a refrigerator, pellet grill, pizza oven, Dutch oven stand, large griddle, and range top. A sink plumbed with a garden hose is available, with hot water heated on the range. Recycling bins are provided, and bathroom facilities are on site. An inground shower on the property offers a refreshing and grounding experience. A 10 station fitness trail will fill the bill for outdoor conditioning and a mile long walking trail, where using all five senses, is perfect for deep immersion in nature.

Established in the 1920s, this family-run ranch has been a cornerstone of the community, with Gus Carlson starting his sheep herding journey at just 14 years old.

The campground features cozy RV pads and charming cabins situated within the family ranch, providing guests with a serene escape surrounded by stunning landscapes. The bathhouse and RV pads are located in a field that once served as a lambing area and cattle pen, offering a glimpse into the ranch's storied past.

Guests can also explore the remnants of the cook and bunkhouse, where Grandma Gail or a hired cook would prepare hearty meals for the herders and lambing crew. The nearby "night corral" was where the night watchman would secure the sheep, ensuring that any newborn lamb

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.

Welcome to Sundown RV Park and Campground, conveniently located right in the town of Grangeville. We are within walking distance of restaurants, grocery store/deli, Family Dollar Store, a department store, hospital and churches. Although a small town, Grangeville is by far the largest within an hour and a half, and has many more amenities than the smaller towns in the area. Most cell phones can get reception in Grangeville, and we have free WIFI.
As new owners we knew this little park needed some TLC and improvements so we got to work. So far we have added new gravel, signs, electrical meters, and 4 retaining walls, flower planters, and have worked hard to clean and spruce up the property.

Nestled along the picturesque Salmon River, the Carlson family campground offers a unique blend of rich history and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. Established in the 1920s, this family-run ranch has been a cornerstone of the community, with Gus Carlson starting his sheep herding journey at just 14 years old. In 1929, he purchased his first property and began sheep ranching, a tradition that continues today under the stewardship of Mick and Gail Carlson.
The campground features cozy RV pads and charming cabins situated within the family ranch, providing guests with a serene escape surrounded by stunning landscapes. The bathhouse and RV pads are located in a field that once served as a lambing area and cattle pen, offering a glimpse into the ranch's storied past. The historic buildings along the river were originally used to shelter sheep and their newborn lambs during the critical early weeks of life, ensuring their safety from predators during lambing season in March and April.
Guests can also explore the remnants of the cook and bunkhouse, where Grandma Gail or a hired cook would prepare hearty meals for the herders and lambing crew. The nearby "night corral" was where the night watchman would secure the sheep, ensuring that any newborn lamb

This site is great for boon-docking on solar power, while enjoying great views of the Wallowa Mountains and surrounding farm/ranch land in relative privacy. Graveled Tucker Down Road runs on the west side of the sites, separated by a small creek, deciduous trees, and wild shrubs & flowers. The road gets a fair amount of ranch and farm traffic, but the trees do knock down most of the dust. While the site is flat, be ready for ann uneven surface with lots of tall grass, clover, & thistles. We were happy to be able to light our Howl propane fire pit for an evening under the stars. The site location is convenient with a short 5 minute drive to Joseph and just a 15 minute drive to Wallowa Lake & the Tramway. I can understand comments about the $75 per night being steep since there are no hookups but for us it was worth it.

We enjoyed our stay here with a few caveats. It was easy to find, had gorgeous views and Kelly was very informative and responsive. Now, the caveats. The space felt a bit neglected.. Lots of weeds that needed cleared out. And, although he mentions it in the description, we didn’t appreciate the camera on the site. All that being said, we would likely stay again if we are back in the area.

2 nights at Glamp at the Evans Farm
What a wonderful place Grady Sr. and Kathleen have created on their beautiful farm. The Glamping tent was perfect for exploring the Joseph area.
The nights were quiet and the bed was the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The outdoor shower was the perfect way to relax after a day on the trails. Very private and sitting on the front deck watching the sunsets over the mountains will be memorable.
We will surely be back when in Joseph. Thanx Grady Sr and Kathleen. So great meeting you both. Shelly and Shelley

This place exceeded our expectations. The site was very private with expansive access to the river, which is gorgeous. You are really 'away' here, the hosts are available for help but our site was about .5 mi from their house. Amazing place to unplug and unwind. Michelle & Larry were friendly and available to help with water, ice, and questions. There's an old hiking trail you can access - we saw plenty of recent bear evidence!
(Be aware there are large Idaho Power lines running through that can be noisy at times.)

Absolutely heaven! Just got home from an amazing Labor Day weekend at this amazing property. Beautiful wide open space with no other campers on top of us or even within ear shot. So peaceful and quiet, exactly what we needed for the weekend. I could’ve stayed forever. Michelle and Larry are awesome hosts. The communication from Michelle leading up to the trip with perfect directions and a reassurance of our decision to stay there was awesome. Then to be greeted by her wonderful smile and the ever so friendly and welcoming Larry! Larry guided us right to our spot. Gave us a great lay of the land, a brief history lesson and some helpful tips. Super amazing people. I’m excited to get back and visit them soon. Oh and to have a vault toilet was a plus in my wife’s eyes. Thanks Larry and Michelle! See you soon.

Communication was on point, Michelle was wonderful and gave me a good recommendation as I was on a roadtrip. She was very understanding and caring. Larry met me at the gate and was knowledgeable about the property and very helpful with questions. They are a lovely couple with a beautiful property. I am a backpacker and it felt like I was backpacking because of how remote it felt. The drive out was also beautiful. I had no issues finding the property with the directions provided. Thanks you both for the healing stay on your gorgeous land.

Great space to tent camp. Plenty of room for the dogs to play and the sounds of the river always playing in the background. Felt private. The sky is big and offered beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Convenient location close to both Joseph and enterprise. The host, Grady, was easy to communicate with if we had any questions or needs.

We absolutely LOVED our time at Kathleen and Grady's Hipcamp! Although we'd initially booked it as a backup since Wallowa Lake State Park was full, it ended up being a real highlight of our trip... totally worth it for such a unique experience. The site was enormous and peaceful, and Grady was so thoughtful to give us great local recommendations, replace our drinking water, and check in about our stay. The creek was such a bonus, too... both for us and our dog. We all enjoyed soaking our feet after a long hike up the nearby Hurricane Creek Trail (Grady, you were right... totally worth it!). Next time we camp in the area, we won't even need to check the campground openings... we'll go straight to this place. Thank you so much, Kathleen and Grady. Your place is so special and it was hard for us to leave! - Jenny and David

Outstanding views in all directions, and a friendly, informative host in Meredith. If you’re dry/tent camping (we were in a rooftop tent on our truck), be advised there is no shade. Keep in mind that the site is a working ranch, so their work is ongoing throughout the day. We would stay again.
