1 night at Convenient Palouse Paradise

Douglas was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed and answered many of our questions about the area. The view was beautiful and made for an amazing sunset experience. Easy to get to, would book again.

1 night at Crooks Lookout

Great location with easy access. 27’ Class C pulling a small car, easy area to pull into to disconnect the car and back into the site. Great little bathroom with shower however we did not need. All utilities- 30a power, water and sewer. Located the Starlink mini by the fire pit for the best reception. Travis was a great host! A little bit of road noise from the highway but did not bother us. Highly recommend!

1 night at Convenient Palouse Paradise

Beautiful home away from home for the night. Doug made sure we had everything we needed for the most perfect stay. Thanks Doug for sharing your amazing property.

Weekend Trip to Crooks Lookout

Outstanding stop. The bathroom and shower was very nice and clean. The host was very friendly. Beautiful evening view. Spot was easy to get into and entrance was well marked.

1 night at Kamiah View

Gil's campsite was exactly what we were looking for on our road trip. He was very helpful with directions and met us to make sure we found our space easily and had everything we needed. His large lot was level and easy to move the trailer around, peaceful and private with a fantastic view. We will definitely be stopping again next year!

Weekend Trip to Convenient Palouse Paradise

Stunning views from the campsite. It's level and fully gravel. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit watching the view.

1 night at Crooks Lookout

Beautiful location overlooking the Palouse. Site is well laid out and private.

1 night at Whispering Pines RV Campground

Camping at Whispering Pines was great for an overnight stop on our journey. There was a burn ban during our visit, which was a bummer.

2 nights at Wheat and Beans

Nic was friendly, accommodating and helpful. The spot was private and the view was impressive. Thanks for everything, Nic!

Weekend Trip to Convenient Palouse Paradise

Easy street access to a very large and level parking area.

5 nights at Crooks Lookout

Travis and his family are extremely gracious host. They have created an amazing space with a wonderful view, full hookup, and a separate bathhouse as a bonus. Mater, the friendly dog made our travel pup feel right at home. Be sure to ask Travis about his locally sourced coffee. It is the best way to start your day and you will support local efforts- it’s a great deal.

1 night at Triple H Ranch

A beautiful and welcoming property on the outskirts of Lewiston, ID. This is one of the most restful and pleasant HipCamp sites I’ve experienced in the last three years. With a ranch feel, including livestock of all kinds, bountiful gardens, and all the amenities you need for a peaceful and restful stay. Renee and her husband are gracious hosts and will go out of their way to make your stay memorable. 5 stars!

5 nights at Convenient Palouse Paradise

We enjoyed RV camping on Douglas’s property. We love the Palouse the scenery is peaceful and beautiful and the sunsets were gorgeous. I had fun watching the chickens and Roy the family dog was very sweet as was Doug his wife and children. We would stay again!!

1 night at Kamiah View

Great spot. Wonderful host. Nice views. Level parking area. We were only there one night , but it was a perfect stop for us.

Weekend Trip to Butterfield Meadows

A beautiful property...it was the perfect location for us to try our first 'boondocking' weekend. Very quiet and serene, completely off-grid. Corlene and her husband were gracious hosts. The only thing I would say is, ask Corlene or her husband where the best place is to pull in...suggested areas weren't marked and we were worried about swampy areas. Highly recommend if you are visiting the area.

Weekend Trip to R&R Camping in the Forest

Great spot to camp with our family & friends! Chris & Christy are wonderful hosts!

6 nights at Little Hawk Landing

Little Hawk Landing is a great camping spot. It is perfectly situated, so that hiking, biking and kayaking are all within 20-30 minutes. The town of Deary is 5-10 minutes away. The site is on a dirt road off hwy 9 and there is a minimal amount of traffic as neighbors go by, but it was definitely quiet and private. The site was clean, level and easy to get into and out of. Chris was extremely responsive any time I had a question. She did stop by to check on us, but left us to ourselves. We had no doubt she'd have been right there had we had a problem, but everything was in perfect order. She even left us a stack of firewood and a firepit to burn it in! I highly recommend Little Hawk Landing.

Weekend Trip to Crooks Lookout

This place is fantastic! It feels so private. The view is amazing. It was great to have RV hookups and a separate shower/toilet building. So perfect!

Weekend Trip to Farmstead Veiws

Great views, close to town and easy to find. Solid stay!

Weekend Trip to Crooks Lookout

Travis was an excellent host! His place had a beautiful view, hot show, very clean! He had a big firewood stack available. We were very pleased totally recommend
