Discover the Ultimate Outdoor Haven: Experience Wilderness Bliss at Our Expansive Campsite in the Heart of Upper Country, Idaho! Nestled on over 30 acres of pristine land, our campsite is perfectly situated next to a serene pond and surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Immerse yourself in nature's embrace while enjoying convenient access to nearby attractions like soothing hot springs, the picturesque Weiser River Trail, and the awe-inspiring wonders of Hells Canyon. Whether you seek thrilling adventures, peaceful relaxation, or a mix of both, our campsite offers it all. Unleash your inner explorer, unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, and create unforgettable memories at our Upper Country Paradise.
Description (site overview)
Our property is nestled bellow the mountains in the upper country of Idaho close to the small quaint farm towns of Midvale and Cambridge where the nearest stoplight is 30 miles away. Whether you are looking to escape hussell and bussell or have a base camp for your next adventure, you've come to the right place! The campsite is perched up near the large pond about 1000 feet off the main road (which you may see 5 cars a day on or the occasional horseback rider). And not to worry, there is a decent driveway that will bring you within 100 feet of the campsite, a pickup or 4 wheel drive is not required. ! The pond is an oasis for passing ducks and geese and other wildlife. Once you've established yourself enjoy a nice walk around the pond, cast a line off the pedal boat (catch and release), or enjoy a picnic on the island with the ducks and geese. Peace and quiet is all to be had here (other than the occasional bull frog croaking.) But if adventure is what you seek, adventure you will have! Known as the gateway to Hells Canyon, there are many things to do within 5 minutes to 1 hours drive. Drop into Midvale to hit the Weiser River Trail via hiking, horseback, or mountain bike (electric bikes too). Embark on an off road adventure with your UTV/ATV, or motorcycle up the nearby mountains to Sturgill Peak Lookout where you can see 100 miles in every direction. Schedule and excursion in Hells Canyon (deeper than the grand canyon) or take a dip at the local Mundo hot spring. Fishing and floating can be had at the near by Weiser river or boating at Crane Creek Reservoir. Or maybe you're looking for a base camp for hunting season. Again, the recreational possibilities are endless! Bring your supplies and stay at camp or take a short bike ride/drive into town for some food at the Coffee Cabin or a drink at the local tavern. Maybe you forgot something? the Midvale Market has you covered, and they have adult beverages too, open 7 days a week. Midvale also has a nice little park and a local swimming pool.
Site guidelines
Respect the locals and they will return the favor. We have a great small town community that looks out for one another. You can ride recreational vehicles on most of the local roads if you choose to bring them, just be respectful of the local laws and courteous to the neighbors who live on dirt roads by keeping the dust down when you pass by. No riding off trails/roads, especially on our property! Please bring life jackets or appropriate floatation devices for children who plan to play or swim in the pond. Explore the property and feel free to pick up wood and branches from the ground for the fire pit, but please do not remove or cut down any trees, and keep fires contained in the fire pit and do not burn when it's windy. Bedding is NOT provided at this time. There is a sheet Please bring sleeping bags or desired bedding for the covered queen bed. We also just built a brand new outhouse! We are slowly adding more amenities and plan to build an outdoor shower next.
There is an extra tent under the bed for the kiddos or other guests, also a pop up shad for the warm afternoons, it covers the deck nicely.

Enjoy camping and recreational activities at this beautiful property located right on the Weiser River — with dry camping only (for now)!
There are two private roadside spots available that can accommodate tent camping and/or trailers. Spot A is slightly larger, while spot B is a bit smaller — but I’ve parked my 35-foot bumper-pull toy hauler trailer on it before, with the toy door open and plenty of room behind it, no issues at all.
Campfires are allowed on both sites; however, you must observe and comply with any fire ban periods.
Legal hunting and fishing are welcome on the surrounding BLM land! Please follow all hunting and fishing laws and carry the proper licenses and tags with you at all times while participating.
🚫 Firearms: For the safety of all guests, no discharging of firearms is allowed on the property.
👨👩👧👦 Capacity: Parties of up to 10 people per spot are permitted. (If you need more for a reunion or special event, reach out via text and we can discuss options.)
🚗 Parking: Spot B has limited space — more than two cars may cause parking issues.
🌉 River Access: There’s a small tunnel under the access road near Spot B that provides direct access to the river.
🐾 Pets: Well-behaved dogs are always welcome! The sites are close to the access road, so please keep dogs leashed — some drivers tend to go a bit too fast.
Feel free to reach out with any questions — we’re happy to help!

PLEASE PACK OUT ANY TRASH. THANK YOU
The address to the house next door is 519 MiddleFork Rd, Garden Valley, ID 83622. That will get you to the property. The property is right after 519 it is a large open lot that leads down to the river. There is a black military vehicle parked on the very end close to the house.
So there are two sections 1st is a flat section where you have plenty of room to set up tents and RVs. It is right off the road, and any car can get to the site with ease. The 2nd section is more wooded and has access to the river. You are welcome to tent camp here it is just getting an RV down there and out can be a challenge I don't recommend it. Also, the bridge across the river is the neighbors and so is the property across the river. There are roughly 4 campsites on the property but can camp where you want really.
Large flat spot above the river that has access to the water. Half of the property is a flat spot for RV's and tents the 2nd half is more green, woody and has access to the river. There is a deeper spot in the river that is 3-4 feet deep and is perfect to lounge in during the hot parts of the summer. Please pack out what you pack in and keep the place nice for the next camper. Thank you and enjoy.

A secluded, mountaintop hideaway for adventure & renewal
Perched high above Garden Valley, The Domestead is a one-of-a-kind geodesic dome built into the cliffs of Idaho’s wild forestland. Surrounded by 87 private acres of pine trees, granite outcrops, and native wildlife, this secluded mountaintop hideaway rewards the adventurous couple with an experience of total privacy, incredible views, and stillness that invites reflection, self-discovery and connection.
Accessible only by those willing to journey up a long, steep mountain road, The Domestead is a place that changes with the seasons and offers something different each time you visit. Whether you're winding up the forested road in summer or navigating snow-packed trails in winter, getting here is part of what makes the experience so special. The property borders a 500-acre elk preserve and backs up to miles of untouched BLM and Forest Service land. It’s wild, peaceful, and full of life—everything we hoped it would be when we first walked it.
Inside, the space is warm, quiet, and intentionally built. Radiant heated floors, a mini-split for both heat and AC, reliable Starlink internet, and an off-grid solar and battery system all come together to make the dome comfortable no matter the season. The well water goes through a complex filtration setup we invested in to make sure it's clean, crisp, and safe to drink — something we really care about.
Everything here was chosen with intention. It's not fancy, but it's thoughtful. It's not for everyone, but it might be just right for you.

Discover the Ultimate Outdoor Haven: Experience Wilderness Bliss at Our Expansive Campsite in the Heart of Upper Country, Idaho! Nestled on over 30 acres of pristine land, our campsite is perfectly situated next to a serene pond and surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Immerse yourself in nature's embrace while enjoying convenient access to nearby attractions like soothing hot springs, the picturesque Weiser River Trail, and the awe-inspiring wonders of Hells Canyon. Whether you seek thrilling adventures, peaceful relaxation, or a mix of both, our campsite offers it all. Unleash your inner explorer, unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, and create unforgettable memories at our Upper Country Paradise.
Description (site overview)
Our property is nestled bellow the mountains in the upper country of Idaho close to the small quaint farm towns of Midvale and Cambridge where the nearest stoplight is 30 miles away. Whether you are looking to escape hussell and bussell or have a base camp for your next adventure, you've come to the right place! The campsite is perched up near the large pond about 1000 feet off the main road (which you may see 5 cars a day on or the occasional horseback rider). And not to worry, there is a decent driveway that will bring you within 100 feet of the campsite, a pickup or 4 wheel drive is not required. ! The pond is an oasis for passing ducks and geese and other wildlife. Once you've established yourself enjoy a nice walk around the pond, cast a line off the pedal boat (catch and release), or enjoy a picnic on the island with the ducks and geese. Peace and quiet is all to be had here (other than the occasional bull frog croaking.) But if adventure is what you seek, adventure you will have! Known as the gateway to Hells Canyon, there are many things to do within 5 minutes to 1 hours drive. Drop into Midvale to hit the Weiser River Trail via hiking, horseback, or mountain bike (electric bikes too). Embark on an off road adventure with your UTV/ATV, or motorcycle up the nearby mountains to Sturgill Peak Lookout where you can see 100 miles in every direction. Schedule and excursion in Hells Canyon (deeper than the grand canyon) or take a dip at the local Mundo hot spring. Fishing and floating can be had at the near by Weiser river or boating at Crane Creek Reservoir. Or maybe you're looking for a base camp for hunting season. Again, the recreational possibilities are endless! Bring your supplies and stay at camp or take a short bike ride/drive into town for some food at the Coffee Cabin or a drink at the local tavern. Maybe you forgot something? the Midvale Market has you covered, and they have adult beverages too, open 7 days a week. Midvale also has a nice little park and a local swimming pool.
Site guidelines
Respect the locals and they will return the favor. We have a great small town community that looks out for one another. You can ride recreational vehicles on most of the local roads if you choose to bring them, just be respectful of the local laws and courteous to the neighbors who live on dirt roads by keeping the dust down when you pass by. No riding off trails/roads, especially on our property! Please bring life jackets or appropriate floatation devices for children who plan to play or swim in the pond. Explore the property and feel free to pick up wood and branches from the ground for the fire pit, but please do not remove or cut down any trees, and keep fires contained in the fire pit and do not burn when it's windy. Bedding is NOT provided at this time. There is a sheet Please bring sleeping bags or desired bedding for the covered queen bed. We also just built a brand new outhouse! We are slowly adding more amenities and plan to build an outdoor shower next.
There is an extra tent under the bed for the kiddos or other guests, also a pop up shad for the warm afternoons, it covers the deck nicely.

Enjoy camping and recreational activities at this beautiful property located right on the Weiser River — with dry camping only (for now)!
There are two private roadside spots available that can accommodate tent camping and/or trailers. Spot A is slightly larger, while spot B is a bit smaller — but I’ve parked my 35-foot bumper-pull toy hauler trailer on it before, with the toy door open and plenty of room behind it, no issues at all.
Campfires are allowed on both sites; however, you must observe and comply with any fire ban periods.
Legal hunting and fishing are welcome on the surrounding BLM land! Please follow all hunting and fishing laws and carry the proper licenses and tags with you at all times while participating.
🚫 Firearms: For the safety of all guests, no discharging of firearms is allowed on the property.
👨👩👧👦 Capacity: Parties of up to 10 people per spot are permitted. (If you need more for a reunion or special event, reach out via text and we can discuss options.)
🚗 Parking: Spot B has limited space — more than two cars may cause parking issues.
🌉 River Access: There’s a small tunnel under the access road near Spot B that provides direct access to the river.
🐾 Pets: Well-behaved dogs are always welcome! The sites are close to the access road, so please keep dogs leashed — some drivers tend to go a bit too fast.
Feel free to reach out with any questions — we’re happy to help!

The space was super clean and well maintained. It was nice location to hang out in the evening. I think we came a little late in the season for the pond, as it was quite low, but my son still had a bit of fun on the paddle boat. We did head down to Mann Reservoir (15min away), so we could bust out our paddle boards for a bit.

This was my second time here and it’s just as clean, quiet, and beautiful as last time. My dog loves the smells and freedom to roam. The place has so many little extras like the solar lights for paths at night that make it even more special. I came to try to learn some night sky photography and it didn’t diss along with stars! I will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay here with a few caveats. It was easy to find, had gorgeous views and Kelly was very informative and responsive. Now, the caveats. The space felt a bit neglected.. Lots of weeds that needed cleared out. And, although he mentions it in the description, we didn’t appreciate the camera on the site. All that being said, we would likely stay again if we are back in the area.

Chris has created a peaceful space. We had to cut our trip short, but will definitely be back to enjoy the quiet, peaceful, wildlife filled oasis that Chris has created. You have the basic amenities you would need or want for a comfortable stay, plus some extras that Chris has so thoughtfully provided, should you need them. We really liked the fact that the closest neighbor is far enough away that we didn’t have to worry about our pup being off leash. Due to us having to cut our trip short, Chris was more than willing to work with us for a future stay, which was not expected in anyway, but GREATLY appreciated. If you are looking for a small town, quiet, peaceful oasis, this is THE spot.
