Weekend Trip to The Mendoza Ranchette

Great spot for a quick layover! We were able to hook up our EV, the restroom was clean, and the location felt welcoming and peaceful on a busy holiday weekend.

Weekend Trip to The Mendoza Ranchette

We arrived later than expected. It was very quiet and peaceful. We weren't able to fit our motorhome in the bay but there was enough room on the gravel. A nice quiet spot to rest for the night.

1 night at The Mendoza Ranchette

I was able to stay last minute- they were easy to contact and friendly - though I never met them in person. It’s not particularly picturesque but it was a good location and nice to have a bathroom in the shop. Some sweet cows said hi to me in the morning too.

1 night at Stargazer Breezeway Camp

A really nice place to stay on my way through Idaho. Great communication from host and had all we needed.

I loved camping on Brittany's land. She was a great host and answered all our questions quickly. Loved all the cows!

3 nights at Stargazer Breezeway Camp

Excellent spot to camp, Anna was great host. Our pups loved exploring the meadow and the paths through the trees.

1 night at Snake River Canyon Views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was easy access to the camp site and the view was amazing. Brett was very accommodating and quick to respond to any messages. This location feels remote, but, it’s only 15 minutes from Twin Falls. We brought our kayak and put in at Centennial Park. We spent the day on the Snake River and came back to a wonderful evening on the canyon rim.

1 night at The Mendoza Ranchette

Great spot! Easy to back in and plenty of room for our two vehicles and trailers. The bathroom was clean and we enjoyed walking down the street to see the neighbors highland cows.

1 night at The Mendoza Ranchette

A safe, quit spot to rest up and continue down the road.

Weekend Trip to Snake River Canyon Views

Brett is an excellent host. Parking on the edge of the Snake River Canyon was awesome and views were fantastic. Strangely I have passed the Twin Falls area hundreds of times and have never stopped. This time this was the right time and place to stop. .5 miles to the west there is a switchback trail to drive a 4x4 vehicle down to the snake river. Our puppy appreciated this to take a dip in the water.

Weekend Trip to Stargazer Breezeway Camp

Such a sweet and pretty spot. I like the little nooks in the trees for a hammock and “restroom” area etc. Also such a nice view to wake up to!

2 nights at The Mendoza Ranchette

We really enjoyed our stay here. Easy location with lots of sights and amenities nearby. The hosts were available for any questions we had. The site for our travel trailer was level and provided lovely views of the property. Thank you for sharing your space with us!
