A great stop! Marni was so friendly and helpful with directions. There’s an adorable cat who will try to be your best friend. All-in-all, the place is nice, not too close to the main house, and all the amenities were as described.

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

Really enjoyed our stay at Marni’s site! It had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stop - potable water, a nice campfire area, and a safe, quiet spot before heading down to Lake Tahoe. The two pygmy goats were adorable, and Tonks the kitty totally stole the show - she’s so friendly and social, and made the whole experience extra fun (and hilarious). Marni was an awesome host - super chill, welcoming, and attentive. Would definitely stay again!

We pulled our 19ft camper right next to the Gorge Edge…..with the Sanke River below. UNBELIVABLE VIEWS.. It is all self contained but well worth it. Brett came out to join us after dinner, even gave up some peaches off his tree. LOVE LOVE LOVE this Hipcamp site……5+stars, 100% awesome Review……thank you Brett!!!!

This spot was easy to get to and instructions were spot on. Communication was good. If you are looking for something more remote this isn’t your place, but I was on a cross country trip home and it was a great place to crash.

If you find yourself near Twin Falls and you want to find some solitude and sit cloae to the edge and stare out at an expansive canyon with the light playing on waterfalls at sunrise and sunset, then this is your place! Way better than being tucked in between 2 RV’s at an RV Park!

We enjoyed staying in our camper van. The hookups were convenient, the shared bathroom was perfect, and the fruit trees were a hit with my wife. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset shortly after arriving.

We made a late reservation through Hipcamp. I messaged Arte and Alexandra and they were quick to respond. They answered all my many questions promptly. We tent camped in their driveway while 2 other rv campers were close by on the same property. The farming next to the property was very loud the next morning…early. I had no problem with the owners or property. I felt safe and comfortable. They have a small orchard on the property with the best green apples!!
I would camp there again.

Very nice, only complaint from my friends were bugs, but to be expected when there’s land and they have horses. Put out a citronella candle and your good!

Overview
About
Camping near Balanced Rock Park is a unique experience that offers plenty to do for outdoor enthusiasts. Start your adventure by visiting the world-renowned Balanced Rock, a stunning natural sculpture that stands over 48 feet tall and weighs around 40 tons. This wind-carved masterpiece teeters on a base merely 3 feet by 17 inches, offering a striking sight you won't want to miss. After exploring this geological marvel, set up camp in one of the many scenic spots near the park. The area is known for its excellent hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as fishing opportunities in the nearby Salmon Falls Creek Canyon. Don't forget to bring a picnic basket, as the park itself is a popular picnic destination. Imagine unwinding after a day of exploration with a meal under the open sky, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. A Balanced Rock Park camping expedition isn't just a trip, it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature's stunning displays.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Balanced Rock Park is during the spring and fall, when mild temperatures offer a comfortable exploration experience. Summer months can be intensely hot, and winter may bring colder conditions, making off-season visits less favorable for some adventurers.
