Great location, nice and easy process! Able to check in, run around town on my business, and come back to sleep with no issues. :)

Weekend Trip to Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

We had a great stay! The campsite was clean and I loved the large picnic table and built in gas fire pit that was at the site. The site is plenty big enough for our 32’ 5th wheel and the setting is very peaceful. It was easy to get to and Heather, Tyler’s wife, did a great job showing us around. She was so kind and treated us like friends! I definitely recommend staying here.

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

We stayed at Tyler's spot with our Class A for one night on our way down to Utah. Having hook ups out there in the middle of nowhere was really nice! The grassy area for our dogs to run around on was fabulous. Nice view, weather was great, close off highway but far enough you can't hear or see it. Not much to do in the area so not sure you'd stay here for sightseeing, but it's a perfect spot to stay on your road trip for an overnight. Should we come by again I will definitely keep in mind to stay here on the way to our next adventure!

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

A beautiful spot to camp, sorry I only had one night to stay. Very quiet Ron was friendly and very quick to answer questions. I will come again.

1 night at Gold Mine Hotel & RV Park

This place is great fun, clean and just a walk everywhere. Hospitality was great!

Weekend Trip to The GreenHouse on Grand View Lane

The hosts were both super welcoming and helpful. They make your stay so friendly and safe! The best Hipcamp place I’ve gone to and can’t wait to be back✨

1 night at Upper Country Paradise

Absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful time, our dogs were in heaven, and the location is serene. Highly recommend!

1 night at Sandhill View Ranch Campsites ⛺️

Great spot and was exactly what I needed as I was working remotely and needed to spend my time outside of work driving. Tyler’s place was beautiful, quiet, easy access to the highway / Boise, and plenty of cell service. Tyler was super nice and I felt very safe and peaceful there!

1 night at Downtown Boise's Best location!

Great place if you want to take advantage of biking in downtown Boise and enjoying the great restaurants within walking distance. Easy in and out access in a beautiful neighborhood.

3 nights at Mini Acres Farm

Just a single campsite. Very peaceful. Lots of wild game birds milling around.

Weekend Trip to The GreenHouse on Grand View Lane

I loved this place so much. Beautiful view and the hosts could not have been kinder. Amy and Lorne rock so hard. Quiet and beautiful stars!

1 night at Mini Acres Farm

Great little quiet, private spot! All the amenities available plus cute miniature horses to admire. Ron was a welcoming host.

1 night at Twisted Pine Ranch, LLC

Beautiful view on a sweet ranch. Horses, cows, pigs, goats and dogs and cats. Meredith had just gotten back in town from vacay when we arrived, but greeted us and showed us around.

This was a sweet place with a fire pit and lots of cute flowers and garden art. Terri was super nice and it was a peaceful place. Dogs were adorable and friendly. Thank you!

Micone Ranch

1 site · RV, Tent28 acres · Ontario, OR

Our place is 28 acres. Do not drive into the upper field, there is a stop sign on that gate. It is irrigated, and you could get stuck and cause property damage. Our niche is that we only host one group of people at a time. Whether you are a solo camper or a group of 50, you will never have to compete for space with another group. This also allows for increased safety for single travelers and elderly. We are open year-round but make sure your tires can handle our terrain. Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. Do not do this as there is no access to our property from that direction. We have a 300-gallon trash bin next to our mailbox that says camp host. Our driveway is immediately across the road from there. The gate is latched but not locked on the left side. Initial fee covers a spot for one sleeping structure. Add any additional tents/rv/vehicles used for sleeping. You can add extra sleeping structures under the extra tab. Included in options to buy is RV power hook up and EV overnight charging. A small somewhat muddy creek runs through the front of the property year-round. The water is clearer during the winter and spring months. Cleared spots in this area are small so only tent camping in this area is recommended. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field, they are shy. Oregon has an invasive poisonous weed called Water hemlock. If you camp in this area, familiarize yourself with this plant so you can avoid it. Camping areas have been cleared of this plant but if you wander along the creek you will encounter it. Areas people have liked are up top by the top field gate, or down in the field that our large chicken coop is in. There are no animals in those areas, but chickens do make noises. Up top we have roosters that make noise about 5 am. The lower field on the right is the quietest. If you have children camping near the house is recommended. The bridge at the entrance to our property is 11' wide, which should allow a standard 8' RV to pass into the property. RV hook up is right off the driveway by the power pole. Ground is in its native form and only gets minimal rain. Some weeds and goatheads may be present. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.

Tamarack Falls Campground

5 sites · RVs2 acres · Donnelly, ID

Right by the shores of Cascade Lake. Just down the road from Tamarack Resort. Walking distance to the Fishing Bridge and Mountain Meadows Adventure Rentals. You can fish from the bridge, rent a jet-ski and go on the lake, or take an off-road vehicle and ride in the mountains - right from your campsite. There is even a small pond on the property. Some history and geography: Where are the Falls? I wondered that myself when first bought the property. I have asked around and done some research - and come up with two answers, although I can't verify either one. First Answer: The old Tamarack Falls have been covered up by the reservoir. That is, there used to be a waterfall in this vicinity, but now it is covered up by Lake Cascade. Maybe, but I can't find any old photographs showing that, and the reservoir has never gotten low enough to see any falls. In fact, at low level, the upper reaches just look like a meadow with the original channel of the Payette River meandering through. But maybe at the narrows by the Fishing Bridge it is possible there are some submerged falls there. Second Answer: The Falls are still there, but they also are not the classic water falls you might imagine. Instead they are the numerous streams that gush down West Mountain every spring and really never completely dry up, even in a dry autumn. They are quite pretty, but not exactly a roaring mountain waterfall. These streams can be seen everywhere, especially in the spring, and they to tumble down a steep slope. They come right out of the rocky faces of the tamarack forest, so it makes sense to call them Tamarack Falls. They are all over the place. At least two of these streams ( and more in the spring) feed the pond on this property. Hence Tamarack Falls Pond. The pond is "artificial" in the sense that it was created when fill dirt used to build West Mountain Road blocked the stream and created a small pond. The pond stays at a constant level because its outflow is a culvert that runs under West Mountain Road and from there into Lake Cascade. Two main streams feed the pond - one on the northside and one on the southside. The shape of the two little submerged valleys give the pond a lopsided crescent shape with a small peninsula curving out into the middle of the pond's west side.
