4. Curlew National Grassland

6 sites · Idaho

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.

3 nights at 🌲 River Lodge Resort 🏕

Eric and his wife were great hosts. Beautiful green grass and on the river. The fishing off the dock is great. I will definitely be staying here again as long as it’s on Hipcamp! Swimming was amazing.

Weekend Trip to 🌲 River Lodge Resort 🏕

Great spot! Just as described and absolutely lovely. Hosts were responsive and helpful but largely kept to themselves. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to 🌲 River Lodge Resort 🏕

This campsite was the highlight of our trip! We went swimming and kayaking in the river, and the backyard is so lush and green. The bathroom was also super clean. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to visit Shoshone Falls, it’s only about 40 mins away. We also loved that Eric and Andi provided firewood for us to use in their huge and beautiful fire pit!
