Granite Creek Ranch is a 4th generation working cattle and horse ranch established in 1921 operated by the same family for over a century. Meadows, crop fields and forested mountains cover the ranch. 230 pairs of cows and two dozen horses call it home along with herds of Elk, Mule and Whitetail Deer, Moose, Coyotes, Redtail Hawks, Bald Eagles, Cranes and many other bird species. Ranch covers over 4,000 acres and the campsites have a couple hundred acres of hiking to enjoy. My family really enjoys the ranching and country life and want to be able to share it with others!

This is a beautiful, wooded property on the river. This is part of our small ranch, we have small herd of cattle and some horses and mules. This property is a magical oasis that feels like you’re hours away from everything, but your not! Lots of opportunities to see wildlife be in nature and explore.

4. Sleepy Hammock Canyon Land

8.5mi from Shelley · 1 site · Tent, RV · Idaho Falls, ID

19 acres, smack dab in the middle of nowhere! It has the beautiful green canyon on its western edge and steveco farms surrounding it. The canyon is steep and wild animals may be present so caution is advised. Cell service is hit and miss which I love this creates forced family fun and gets everyone off of there mobile devices.

Convenient, easy access, quiet, level, private DIRECTLY on the Snake River! Beautiful setting with friendly host and dog. Great place for an overnight on the road but could be nice for a couple nights too.

I loved this cozy cabin!! It had everything my dog and I needed to get a good night’s rest before we set off for our hike. Instructions to check in were very simple and it was easy to find even though I got there pretty late at night. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoy this spot. It is beautiful and so relaxing to watch the river run by. We got an extra treat with the Elk calling all around us. This is definitely a place I would return to.

Absolutely beautiful spot. We parked our RV right on the river bank. The site is completely secluded, but only a few minutes from town. The owner is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Can’t wait to return!

Riverside haven was the perfect private, beautiful spot by the water. We enjoyed walking alongside the river, taking in the views at sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed the birdwatching and deer! Hosts were very friendly and helpful. We hope to come back with our dogs next time - they would love it!

Incredibly lovely private site on the Snake river. Fishing spots, boaters, birds galore including a bald eagle and a big flock of turkeys. Hosts went above and beyond on hospitality and then left us alone. Perfect for us. Our dog loved it, too!

3 nights at Hover Campground in Swan Valley!

The cabin was cozy, bed was comfy, and bathroom worked well. Used the A/C because we couldn't open the two windows up front, which restricted a beautiful, cool airflow. No toaster. No utensils. All bedding was there and clean. Hosts were friendly and a good resource if local information. Price was right! We would stay there again.

I stayed here with my dog while attending a concert in Jackson, WY. Quiet, serene location. Beautiful scenery. The cabin was cute and stocked with towels, basic toiletries, and a few disposable kitchen utensils. The cabin was cozy with comfortable beds. I utilized the TV, refrigerator and coffee machine with no issues. We enjoyed spending time relaxing on the porch. We would definitely stay again!

Our roof top tent was a great set up, but site #2 seems easily accessible by any vehicle.

Beautiful campsite! Very nice to have a platform. No flat ground if you’re in a van like we were. The portable toilet is also quite a walk away. Otherwise well worth the views.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable cabin in Swan Valley! The cabin itself was so cute and cozy, and the AC was a lifesaver after being out in the summer sun. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The whole campground was beautifully kept, peaceful, and had such a charming atmosphere. It truly felt like the perfect little getaway spot. We will definitely be coming back again~ we loved it so much! :)

Amazing views while having your morning coffee!

I loved tent camping here! It is private, secure and quiet. There is one other site but its so far away you feel like you are by yourself. And the views!!!! Chefs kiss!!! AMAZING scenery. My dog loved exploring the space around camp and having the freedom to roam. Wish I could have stayed longer.

This whole whole was amazing! I did not expect the bathrooms to be so nice, I was pleasantly surprised! The hosts were very quick to respond and very helpful. I will 100% be coming again!
