Weekend Trip to The Lucky Dawg Park

Nathan's place is absolutely beautiful. We are a big rig 76 feet long and there was room for 3 or 4 of us (if we wanted). We parked beside raging (irrigation canal) water straight from the snake river and under the shade of row of huge trees. He has a picnic table, gas grill, and 8 adirondack chairs circling a ringed fire pit. He had a huge stack of wood available as well. Country setting quiet, peaceful, and refreshing. Nathan was also a very friendly and gracious host. This hipcamp rates a full 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars. If you get a chance GO THERE.

3 nights at Camp Steelhead

Great location. Available firewood definitely a plus. Though host was away, we stayed in delayed contact. Will go back there if in the area!

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, hat uns sogar die Funktion des Grills gezeigt und auf die vorbereitete Kohle verwiesen. Holz und wenn nötig eine Axt waren vorhanden. Gerne wieder

1 night at Yellowstone's Home-Base Hookups

Amazing site situated in the valley facing stunning mountain range. Very easy to get with only a 100-yard stretch of driving off the road. There are only four sites there so you basically have 1/3 acre or so to yourself on each site!

Know that by staying here, you are helping preserve this small piece of natural beauty in Idaho. It may not be the biggest preserve, but you have to start somewhere. Come stay a night! Learn more about this land: Come to our riverside getaway at Teton Corners. This 3 acre peninsula into the Teton River provides amazing trout fishing right from your tent door (licenses issued just 1 mile down the road). This gorgeous nature area is minutes from town, with easy access to HWY20 and HWY33. Deer, moose, bald eagles and osprey frequent the area year round, as well as beaver, waterfowl and night owls. RV dumps right down the road, as well as a 27 hole golf course, if that's your thing. Or just relax, dip your feet in the Teton River and listen to the water pass by. Note: River levels fluctuate over the season. We've tried to take pictures of all water seasons for reference.
