This campsite sits on forty acres of property that has been in the family since the early 1930's. It is the property where my husband has been born and raised. His brother started growing a few acres of tempranillo grapes as a hobby about twenty years ago. His hobby has turned into Emerald Slope Vineyard with many varieties of grapes. The working vineyard has made this property even more beautiful than it already was. We feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place and love sharing its incredible view with others.

Hello. My name is Tamara and my husband is Andy. We bought this place in 2022 with the goal of raising animals humanely and providing good food options to purchase at reasonable prices. After moving to Ontario I noticed there are not many good options for nighttime sleep. I fondly remember camping with our kids in a location we named Neverland. We decided we wanted to create that for people. That’s why we joined Hipcamp. We have several sites that range from close to the house and bathroom access to remote in a field with the sounds of the creek to lull you to sleep. To increase safety and aid in positive memory making, only one group is allowed at a time. We have lots of space so whether you are a lone traveler, a family, or a group of friends looking to make memories consider staying with us and our animals. We generally have goats, chickens, and pigs. From July to October, we often have pheasants. This year we do not so I can do repairs to the small coop. Look us up on Facebook under Micone Ranch.
Our driveway is immediately off Ontario Heights Rd. Google tells people to turn on Grand View Lane. 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 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.
A small, creek runs through the front of the property year-round. Water is clearer during the winter and spring months. The spots I have cleared in this area are small. I recommend tent camping in this area. It is densely wooded. We have goats in this field; they are shy. We have goat treats available for sale if you would like to feed them.
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. If you wander along the creek, you will encounter it.

PRIVATE MOUNTAIN YURT NEAR GARDEN VALLEY, IDAHO
Camp in comfort on nearly 45 secluded wooded acres between Banks and Crouch, about a mile from the South Fork of the Payette River. This private mountain yurt offers an authentic Idaho wilderness experience with electricity, Starlink Wi-Fi, heat, air conditioning, propane cooking, a wood stove, and a large private deck.
This is not a campground loop, neighborhood, or glamping resort. The yurt sits by itself in the forest, surrounded by ponderosa pines, wildlife, dark skies, and quiet mountain terrain.
SLEEPING
The open-layout yurt sleeps up to 5 guests:
• Two guests on the padded lower bunk
• One guest on the padded upper bunk
• Two guests on the futon
The bunks use padded sleeping mats rather than conventional mattresses. Guests who prefer additional cushioning may bring a sleeping pad or inflatable mattress.
Bedding, pillows, and towels are not provided. Bring sheets, blankets or sleeping bags appropriate for the season, pillows, and towels. Winter-rated sleeping bags are strongly recommended during cold weather.
POWER, WIFI, HEATING AND COOLING
The yurt has electricity and fast Starlink Wi-Fi. The mini-split provides heat and air conditioning, making the yurt comfortable during both hot summer days and cold mountain nights.
A wood stove is available for supplemental heat and ambiance. Firewood is not provided for the wood stove or outdoor firepit but can be purchased locally in Crouch or Garden Valley.
COOKING
The yurt includes:
• 2-burner propane stove
• Cast-iron griddle
• Propane grill on the deck
• Mini fridge
• Drip coffee maker and Keurig
• Hot-water kettle
• Cookware, dishes, utensils, spices, salt, pepper, and cooking oil
There is no conventional oven.
WATER AND TOILET
There is no running water, shower, or indoor bathroom.
Fresh water is provided in 5-gallon containers for drinking, cooking, and washing dishes. The yurt has an indoor dishwashing sink, but it is not connected to plumbing.
A clean private porta-potty is located about 100 ft from the yurt and professionally serviced weekly.
PARKING AND ACCESS
There is no parking directly beside the yurt.
Guests may unload gear near the porta-potty, which is a short walk from the yurt. After unloading, vehicles must be moved to one of two designated parking areas. Both require a short uphill walk.
The path is natural mountain terrain and may be uneven, dusty, muddy, snowy, icy, or slippery depending on weather.
The final approach is a narrow rock and dirt mountain road with steep sections. Apple Maps and Google Maps may route guests incorrectly, so detailed directions, GPS coordinates, parking instructions, and unloading guidance are provided before arrival.
During winter, AWD or 4WD with proper winter tires or chains is required.
LIGHTING
The yurt has interior electric lighting but no exterior lighting. Bring headlamps or flashlights and plan to arrive before dark when possible.
DOGS
Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome when included in the reservation.
Dogs must remain leashed whenever outside, may not be left unattended inside the yurt, and must leave with you whenever you leave the property. Please pick up all pet waste.
We have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks and free-range chickens elsewhere on the property, so strict leash control is required.
WILDLIFE AND FIRES
This is active wildlife habitat. Guests may encounter deer, elk, turkey, skunks, porcupines, snakes, foxes, bobcats, bears, mountain lions, and other wildlife.
Never approach or feed wildlife, and do not leave food, pet food, or trash outside.
All fires must follow current restrictions, remain attended, and be fully extinguished before sleeping or leaving. Outdoor fires may be prohibited during periods of high fire danger.
NEARBY ADVENTURES
The yurt makes a private basecamp for:
• Hiking and mountain biking
• Rafting and kayaking
• Fishing
• Hot springs
• ATV and UTV riding
• Snowshoeing and skiing
• Hunting and wildlife viewing
• Stargazing
• Exploring Garden Valley, Crouch, Banks, and the South Fork Payette River
BEFORE BOOKING
Please make sure everyone in your group is comfortable with:
• No running water or shower
• No indoor bathroom
• Private porta-potty about 100 ft away
• Guests provide bedding, pillows, and towels
• Padded bunks and futon rather than conventional mattresses
• No parking directly beside the yurt
• Short uphill walk
• Narrow mountain road
• Seasonal mud, snow, and ice
• No exterior lighting
• Active wildlife
• No glass containers anywhere on the property
This stay is best for guests seeking privacy, stars, wildlife, outdoor adventure, and a genuine mountain experience with useful modern comforts.

In the early 1900's three sheep ranchers--August Broderson, James Fisher, and Isaac Leighton--each purchased residential lots in Weiser and built brick homes designed by Idaho architect H. W. Bond. This property, which we named Butterfield Farms, was built in 1915 by August Broderson, who emigrated from Germany to the US in 1892. The Broderson family lived here for decades and were a prominent family in Weiser history. Learn more about this land:The campsite is located on our small family-run farm in Weiser, ID. Our 2 1/2 acre historic farm is located in the heart of town, so you have the best of both worlds: easy access to town amenities, and a restful retreat in nature at the end of the day. Grocery store, seasonal farmer's market, coffee shop, eateries, library, and downtown shops are all within easy walking or biking distance. Weiser is known world-wide for its annual fiddle festival in June! Our campsite is within walking or biking distance of all of the Fiddle Week activities. Campsite is located underneath a large shady oak tree. Campers are welcome to use the fire pit when fire bans are not in effect. Electric hookups are located immediately next to the campsite, as well as a non-potable water source. Note that we are located in town and campers are required to observe quiet hours between 10pm and 8am and be courteous of neighbors.

Welcome to “The Forest” – Your Peaceful Getaway

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:

• 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).

Wonderful camping spot and fantastic hosts. The property was gorgeous and easy to get into with our camp trailer. Electric and water hook ups were easy and made the trip very comfortable. Having a dump location on site was extremely convenient. Ron, the camp host met us when we arrived and helped us get settled and then gave us our privacy. They provided camp fire wood, a very nice fire ring, shuffle board/curling game board, picnic table, and circle swing hammock of sorts. Site was very easily accessible, private, but also close to town. Loved the farm setting - felt like home! Gorgeous sunsets and sunrises over the mountains.

On the last night of vacation as we were driving home, an accident closed the 84. Everyone was scrambling to find a place to stay - all rooms, camp sites, trailer parks, etc were full. I remembered we had Hipcamp so did a search, found a place out of town with an opening, did all the on-line applying and paying, found the place in the dark with Ron's excellent directions. We quietly set up our little trailer and went to bed. In the morning we woke up to cool air, birds singing, gorgeous old trees rustling above us, a picnic table, water, electricity, games, all the amenities you would want. After the stress of the day before, the sights, sounds of that beautiful ranch were the perfect antidote to the stressful day before. We had miles to go to get home in time so sadly had to leave FTITM - even though Ron texted us that we were welcome to stay until later. Ron was a great & communicative host. So the last night of our trip, though unplanned, ended up being the loveliest place of all! We will be back just to enjoy!

We enjoyed our stay. It was windy but that is to be expected. Noce and clean grass for our tent.

Quite possibly the most scenic Hipcamp of them all! Incredible view of the surrounding area and a peaceful spot that was a perfect place to unwind after a long day of driving!
