Glamping at it's finest!
Fall asleep to the sound of a rushing creek in this charming and secluded yurt.
Enjoy outdoor dining next to a seasonal waterfall, and watch butterflies and hummingbirds in our wildflower garden during the summer.
Winter guests will experience a cozy fire in the pellet stove, and our year-round creek.
If our chickens are feeling generous, you may find some farm fresh eggs waiting for you in the kitchen, and there will always be a complimentary bar of handmade soap in the bathroom.

Champagne Creek Ranch

48mi from Sawtooth National Forest · 11 sites · RVs, Lodging
Our ranch is situated 6 miles from Craters of the Moon and is a working ranch. We have three separate stay options: a beautiful pair of Champagne Creek Yurts tucked in their own aspen grove, a Cozy Craters Tiny House in its own canyon, and Craters of the Moon RV pull-through sites at the base of the ranch.
Embrace the night as part of the International Dark Sky landscape! You are surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pioneer Mountains overlooking Craters of the Moon. Keep your eyes peeled for elk, deer, antelope, moose, coyotes, and sage grouse!
We have working cowdogs, so we ask that you do not pet the dogs. Also, please leave gates as you found them!
You will lose cell service for a few miles as you approach the ranch; however, the RV sites and Tiny House have dedicated internet service.

This yurt was the cutest and coziest place ever! Most houses in the neighborhood have friendly, curious animals like cows, pigs, horses, and chickens that made our stay feel so inviting. There's a stream that runs near the property, just close enough to offer a pleasant sound while relaxing at the outdoor fire pit.
Inside, there are plenty of amenities even considering it's compact size. A full kitchen, full bathroom, a couch with a TV and plenty of board games, and a roomy bedroom with a comfy bed!
The hosts were friendly, and the site was easy to find while still tucked away just enough to feel very private. Overall my husband and I had a wonderful stay, it was the highlight of our honeymoon roadtrip!

I loved this yurt! It was secluded in a group of trees right next to a creek. They gave us pancake mix for breakfast and just let us enjoy our time.

we stayed here for the second time in about 10 days (on each end of our xmas road trip). joshua was a wonderful host. he made sure everything was ready for us, the lights were on and pellet stove was on so it was nice and warm when we arrived. the first time we stayed, we arrived on xmas night and there was event a little xmas tree out front lit up which was a cute touch and the kids enjoyed it, even though we were all tired by the time we got there. there was plenty of room for our family. the yurt is pretty spacious and very clean and modern. the kids enjoyed the tiered bunkbed and hot coco in the keurig. we had everything we needed to make food and enjoy respite on our journey. joshua is a very thoughtful and responsive host. we will definitely stay here again when we pass through the area.

Lovely! Has everything you need! We loved the friendly cat. Make sure to make a reservation at Miracle Hot Springs nearby for a nice soak!

This is a lovely, clean, modern yurt in the country. We really enjoyed staying here one night on our road trip. The dogs in the area were barking throughout the night, so we did have to use the earplugs provided (thank you!). I will probably use a noise machine next time. Other than that, this place is fabulous and the hosts are very thoughtful and kind.

Definitely the fanciest yurt I've ever stayed in. Everything was comfy, we were warm all night despite almost-freezing temperature.

I loved everything about our stay! This is a lovely and welcoming space. Joshua was a great communicator and very responsive. My son liked meeting Shy Girl, the outdoor cat who welcomed us as we pulled in! I hope to pass this way again for another visit!

Joshua's yurt was a lovely place to stay on our roadtrip! He had the pellet stove going for us when we got there, so it was nice and cozy. I wish we could have stayed longer; it's a great, comfy space, on a quiet property. Thanks Joshua!

Not even one lake at Twin Lakes Campground. Crowded (August) and super noisy and smelled of gas from all the ATVs. Left promptly once someone told me about nearby Cleveland Lake campground. Also very full, but much nicer on a lake. Most suitable for tent camping. I had a hard time sleeping in my camper van because only place to park is right on the campground road, so lights and cars going in and out until midnight.

Surrounded by panoramic views, but also people. Glampers and Boise families flock here more than anything.

Go camping during the week, it tends to get crowded during the weekend, especially during summer and hunting season in September. Normally closed from November - early June.

Can be super crowded in the summer... arrive early to claim your spot!

This campground was amazing! We had to reserve months in advance. Each site has its own little path to the lake. Some of them even have awesome little sand areas which our kids loved and spend almost the whole day! We went in July, the water was freezing but refreshing!

Lovely little campground with many amenities close to Redfish Lake Lodge. Each campsite has a dedicated level pad for tents, a picnic table, a bear box, and fire ring. There are also bathrooms which had flushing toilets and running water, and are well maintained. We loved that Point Campground is close to Redfish Lake Lodge, which has a bunch of different activities: horseback riding, kayaking, dog beach, mountain biking, fishing, etc. This campground is great when camping with children, especially with the bathrooms & lack of car traffic on the tent-only side. We will be returning!

This campground is one of the most beautiful campgrounds you'll find; well maintained, clean, spacious with partial shade or full shade, beautiful view of the Tooths, close to the lake! Also, the camp hosts, the Edmunds are doing a fabulous job at maintaining it! We were there over Memorial weekend, had spot#63 C loop and had a fantastic time!

Very quiet campground, off the beaten path and quite high up there. We loved our night there and camped right by the lake. You definitely get the feel of camping in the mountains... and without having to backpack in!
