Idaho's Best Kept Secret!

3 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Sun Valley, ID
ONE OF IDAHO'S MOST ICONIC PEAKS, often compared to the Matterhorn, will transfix you in a picture-perfect view from this campsite. On a clear night, its rosy glow is the only thing you will see just before darkness. As the night darkens further you'll be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest of dark skies you will ever experience. In the early morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf (Watch, but don't approach!!) or any of the many deer that ramble by. Then drop a fishing line into the river, just a few steps away, and catch yourself a trout or two for your breakfast. After breakfast, get out your binoculars, cameras, and maps (you did bring them, didn't you?) and choose your day's adventure, whether it be a challenging hike up a mountain trail, a leisurely stroll to a delightful waterfall, a 20-mile trip to world-famous Sun Valley via the stunning Trail Creek Summit, or exploring the largest wilderness in the lower 48 states. which is just on the other side of the fence! The road you enter the property from will also get you 20 miles deep into that wilderness along a broad river valley where you may see elk, moose, wolves, coyotes, foxes, beavers, deer, antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, black bears, and much more all thriving in natural abundance. Cougars (also called Mountain Lions) are absent in this area, fortunately, but may be observed in narrow, steep-sided canyons in other drainages nearby, if you dare.

Drinkers Of The Wind Farm

1 site · RV70 acres · Bellevue, ID
Camp along the Big Wood River on Drinkers of the Wind’s family horse ranch and regenerative agroforestry farm near world famous Sun Valley, Idaho. Spend your days enjoying outdoor activities (fishing, hiking, mountain biking, paddle boarding) and your nights soaking up the stars in the night sky, sampling the many local restaurants, or enjoying music and other cultural events in nearby towns. In addition to producing a variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers, the farm’s underlying goal is to provide a demonstration of the ways agriculture can combat climate change, improve biodiversity, and protect water quality and quantity, while providing nutrient dense food for the community. This special place is home to diverse wildlife - including deer, elk, mountain lion, eagles, hawks, herons, and songbirds galore.
