A private pond edged by a small cabin and a dock, with a rowboat left in the water and Roy's woodpile ready for the fire. Cast a line for bass and famously big bluegill, or just watch for eagles, cranes, and fawns.

Set among rock outcroppings and ponderosa groves along I-80, this property borders state land you can hike straight into from your site. Sunrises over the rocks draw praise, and cozy cabins or private sites keep you out of sight and earshot of neighbors.

Trees screen a single site from the host's nearby house near Alta, so despite the closeness you get real privacy, sparkling hydrant spring water, and visits from hens, a dachshund, and a cat. Grand Teton and Driggs are both a short drive away.

Rolling hills and open sky surround a handful of well-spaced sites here, close enough to Devil's Tower to see it from the highway coming in. Expect deer, turkeys, coyote calls at dawn, and often the whole place to yourself.
