16mi from Wilder · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to “The Forest” – Your Peaceful Getaway Please note: The trailer in the photos is for size reference only (23’). Our property is tucked into an agricultural zone, with just one neighbor far from the camping area. We’re only a 5-minute drive from public access to the Boise River for fishing and exploring! You’ll have plenty of space to spread out, whether you’re bringing an RV, trailer, or camper. We can accommodate a second RV/trailer/camper within the same party upon request—just reach out for details. What We Offer: • Full hook-ups: (well) water, electric, and dump station • Spacious sites: Park beneath tall pine, alder, and maple trees with a grassy lawn to enjoy • Camp amenities: Fire ring for cozy evenings under the stars We’re in a unique spot—centrally located on the outskirts of three cities, yet peaceful and private. Costco and the hospital are just 5 minutes away, though you’d never guess it from your site. Seasonal Extras: • Fresh eggs from our flock of 15+ chickens (and turkey eggs upon request in the warmer months) • Access to archery targets and our 1,000 sq. ft. garden, depending on the season Things to Know: • We’re on a main boulevard, so you may hear passing cars. • A train passes just three times a week (Mon/Wed/Fri). If you’re a train fan, wave at the conductor—sometimes they’ll honk back! • Wildlife is abundant: foxes, groundhogs, and birds of prey from the largest raptor sanctuary in the U.S. (falcons, golden eagles, and more). Please keep a close eye on small pets, as the area is not fenced. We affectionately call this area “The Forest” and love sharing it with guests who want to stay, play, relax, and enjoy. Bonus treat: Each booking includes a complimentary bag of freeze-dried Skittles (plus other surprise goodies we may have on hand).

5. Boise National Forest

You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho). Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

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.
