Welcome to Lake VIEW RV Site — 3 private acres with panoramic views of stunning Bear Lake, just north of Fish Haven, Idaho. Whether you're pulling in with a big rig, gathering the whole family, or just looking for a wide-open space to breathe, this is it. With room for up to 35 guests and 8 vehicles, it's one of the only private campgrounds at Bear Lake that can accommodate a large group without sending anyone to a crowded public campground. Spread out, fire up the pit, and make it yours. What's on site: 50-amp electrical hookups, a covered pavilion, two fire pits, a picnic table, porta-potties, and a handwashing station. Note: there's no running water — bring your own supply. Generators welcome. Getting to the lake: From the camping area, it's approximately 1,000 feet to our back gate at the east end of the property — an easy walk or ATV ride along a flat dirt path. From the gate, you'll continue across a short stretch of Idaho state public trust land to reach the shoreline. When the lake is at or above the 5,916 ft elevation mark, the beach is fully exposed and the water is incredibly shallow for several hundred feet, making it perfect for wading, kids, and exploring by ATV. Our own kids (ages 5–15) make the walk every summer. During high water years, the path beyond the gate may require a bit more care, but it's always been doable. You can check current water levels here: bearriverbasin.org There's no on-site boat launch, but public ramps are just a short drive away. A few things to know: -No fireworks -There are a couple of shallow drainage ditches on the property — not a hazard, but worth keeping an eye on with young kids -Off-season (Sept 25 – April 26): Porta-potties and wash station are not available. RVs, campervans, and camper trailers only. Winter access may be limited due to snow. With no crowded campgrounds in sight and some of the best lake views in the area, this is the kind of place you come back to every year.

You haven’t fully lived until you’ve experienced the awesomeness of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Yes that is a bold statement, but if you’re an adventurer and wilderness junkie, then you are missing out and someone had to say it! This 3.4 million acre wonderland is an extension of the Yellowstone Wilderness, which is the largest intact ecosystem in the contiguous US. Think pristine, unspoiled wilderness filled with wildlife like no other, offering every type of outdoor recreation you could imagine. We’re talking thousands of miles of clean flowing waterways, endless trails, countless peaks to bag, and abundant camping in utter paradise! You definitely need to get in on this action.

National forest 42mi from Cokeville · 270 sites
The smaller of the two parks in Caribou-Targhee National Forests, Caribou is a welterweight not to be underestimated. Just south of its older brother, this land spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, and is a crucial spot for supporting caribou populations. None of the animals here are bashful: bison, moose, deer, mountain lions, falcons, elk, and even black bears abound! Beautiful to snap shot from a distance. Just south of the forest, Bear Lake is a fun spot to take a dip after you hike one of Caribou’s dozens of peaks (Mead Peak and Hawks Peak have gorgeous views, as does Big Elk Mountain at the northern tip of the park). At the south end, you’ll find campgrounds, fast flowing creeks, and the Minnetonka Cave at St. Charles Canyon. This is a site to see, but it stays 40 degrees down there all year so be sure to pack a coat, even if you’re sweating above ground. When you’re done, stop in the charming small town of Montpelier, surrounded by rolling hills and full of retro grocers and kitschy eateries. Yum!

Floating, fishing, and flora and fauna galore are waiting for you at Pocatello Field Office! Anglers will be amped about the shoreside camping on the Blackfoot River, where juniper and sagebrush will fill your nose while you cast your line for stunning trout. Great horned owls, hawks, and eagles will soar over your head on the trails. There’s over 40 miles of them for hikers, bikers, and off road thrill seekers to enjoy at the Chinese Peak-Blackrock Trail System. It’s the backyard of the town of Pocatello, so stop into town for brews and supplies before heading out to the Bear River for a day or weekend long float. There’s rapids aplenty (and for all abilities) between the Bear River, Blackfoot River, and Portneuf River. Plus, campgrounds with canyon and forest views will ensure you maximum fun and relaxation at Pocatello.
