    Idaho's Best Kept Secret!

    3 sites · RVs2 acres · Mackay, ID
    One of Idaho's most iconic peaks, often compared to the Matterhorn, will transfix you in a picture-perfect view from this campsite. On a clear night, its rosy glow is the only thing you will see just before darkness. As the night darkens further you'll be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest of dark skies you will ever experience. Then you'll fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the Lost River gliding by. In the early morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf (Watch, but don't approach!!) or any of the many deer that ramble by. Then drop a fishing line into the river, just a few steps away, and catch yourself a trout or two for your breakfast. After breakfast, get out your binoculars, cameras, and maps (you did bring them, didn't you?) and choose your day's adventure, whether it be a challenging hike up a mountain trail, a leisurely stroll to a delightful waterfall, a 20-mile trip to world-famous Sun Valley via the stunning Trail Creek Summit, or exploring the largest designated wilderness in the lower 48 states. which is, literally, just on the other side of the fence! The road you enter the property from will also get you 20 miles deep into that wilderness along a broad river valley where you may see elk, moose, wolves, coyotes, foxes, beavers, deer, antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, black bears, and much more all thriving in natural abundance. Mountain lions are absent in this area, fortunately, but can be found in narrow, steep-sided canyons in other drainages nearby, if you dare.

    Riverfront Homestead

    4 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Garden Valley, ID
    This 15-acre homestead is experiencing a revival after more than 50 years of abandonment. We've diligently crafted a pond and established a sizable garden and orchard! Enjoy stunning river vistas and direct access to the river. Situated at the conclusion of The Canyon Section of the South Fork of the Payette River and the commencement of Swirly Canyon, this location is a rafter's paradise. Not an avid rafter? Fear not! There's a plethora of alternative activities to indulge in, such as hiking, strolling the property, observing wildlife, or riding ATVs. Whatever your preference, this locale is tailor-made for outdoor recreation. Interested in bringing horses? Feel free to reach out; we're more than happy to accommodate. Despite being just 25 minutes from town, your stay promises seclusion with scarcely a neighbor in sight. If you're considering RV camping, please note that the road demands a skilled driver. Rest assured, maneuvering a 30-foot travel trailer in and out of the property has been consistently smooth for adept drivers.
