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!

We raise Wagyu beef & offer liver dog treats, sourdough bread, we often have dozens of eggs on hand from a local chicken farmer and I make tallow lotion with a dear friend! I am happy to help you source anything you may be interested in while in our little community! 🚌-40ft+ Class A motorhome, traveling East down the 520N you need to turn left on the gravel road (North 250E) and right on 670N-at the stop sign turn right on 3 mile rd E and it will connect you to 520N where you will turn left into the property as the gate is angled to enter this way.
