Peaceful RV Stay with Country Charm—Just Minutes from Twin Falls
Enjoy a relaxed, rural escape on private acreage with sweeping views, starry skies, and friendly animals. We’re a young, working couple offering a welcoming stay just 7 minutes from I-84 and Twin Falls—close to local gems like Shoshone Falls, Snake River Canyon, Centennial Park, and farm-to-table dining.
Our rates are a fraction of what local RV parks charge, and we offer great value with real country charm. This is our home, not a commercial campground—so while we take pride in our space, we keep it simple and genuine.
What to Expect
- Country landscaping with native plants and pollinator-friendly “weeds.” Goathead stickers are common in rural Idaho.
- Shaded areas, open skies, and seasonal views of horses grazing.
- Yardwork happens around our schedules and between guests.
Garden & Fruit
From July to October, guests may enjoy cherries, raspberries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, and apples—depending on weather and timing. Just ask before picking, as not all fruit may be ripe or reachable.
RV Site Options
- Site 1: Full hookup with 50amp (30amp converter available) and water.
- Site 2: Covered RV Bay with 30amp and water—fits big rigs and slide-outs.
All sites are back-in only—please plan accordingly.
Utilities
- $35/night covers water, power, trash, and access to a shared half-bath.
- No generators allowed out of courtesy for all guests.
Pets
Well-mannered dogs and horses welcome. The property isn’t fenced—please leash or supervise your dog. Our friendly pups may greet you, but we’re happy to keep them in if needed.
Shared Bathroom
A clean half-bathroom is located in our workshop. It’s optional and may be in use while we work nearby.
Connectivity & Hospitality
Good cell service, flexible check-ins, and a laid-back vibe. We’re nearby if you need us—otherwise, enjoy the peace and privacy.
We welcome RVs, tent campers, and travelers with animals seeking a peaceful stay away from the crowds. Questions? Message us—happy to help!

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.

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!
