Robinwood

1 site · RV, Tent5 acres · Rigby, ID

Great location nestled in the woods but close to lots of recreation. You have full hookups and property to roam. These 5 acres are private and secluded. You can stay at the nearby commercial campsites but be ready to have close neighbors and lots of noise. Your location is next to my house and it is secluded and quite. Go and enjoy the local hot spots and have a fire all by yourselves in the evening. You can look up the property address on youtube to the whole thing. Just miles from Heise Hot Springs, Kelly Canyon and the Snake River is just a short walk away to provide world renowned fly fishing. Idaho falls is only 15 miles away and this is a great place to stay the night on your way to Yellowstone or Jackson Hole Wyoming.

Wolverine Adventures

11 sites · RVs, Tents1000 acres · Firth, ID

Located at the base of Wolverine Canyon is our little slice of heaven called Wolverine Ranch. It is a 100 year old working cattle ranch. The Camp is located in the Headquarters Wolverine Ranch and we decided to name it Wolverine Adventures after a saying that Kelly and Robyn's family has. If something has to be done on the Ranch that is of a more difficult nature, we ask one another "What time is it? Adventure time!" This gets us through the more demanding tasks on the Ranch and allows us to have fun and humor through it all. As you pull through the Juniper log archway you will drive right through the corrals. Gates may be closed but are to contain cattle and horses, not to keep people out. Come on in and please close the gate behind you. Wolverine and Jones Creeks run through camp and we do allow catch and release fishing with an Idaho Fishing License of course. Camp is the perfect place to unwind after driving all day and unplug from the busy world outside of the gates. THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AT CAMP!! You may get signal a short walk up a hill above camp. We do allow campfires but only in the community fire pit area. There is a hot water shower with 180 degree views of the Juniper covered hills while you wash the stress away. We do also have a flushing toilet and potable water right in camp. We do offer a few add on Adventures such as trail rides or Ranch tours. These will need to be discussed in advance of your arrival. Communication with Robyn is encouraged via HipCamp messaging as we often are out of service and need to know an approximate ETA. We prefer to meet every guest and help you get settled in, answer any questions, and apprise you of any information you will need to enjoy your stay. There is abundant wildlife that frequent The Camp, including White Tailed Deer, Mule Deer, Song Birds, Racoons, skunks, and snakes. We do allow pets, however they must be on leash and under control at all times, The Camp has resident chickens and cattle and horses are always nearby.

Mountain View Glamping Yurt

Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains of southeast Idaho at an elevation of 6500 ft, our yurt has magnificent views of Mt. Bonneville and the surrounding Pebble Creek Basin. Along with a handful of neighbors, within a private property recreational area, we are surrounded by the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, with vehicle access from mid-May through mid-November each year. Pebble Yurt has a 30 ft diameter with a partial loft for a total of 900 ft2 of indoor living space. You will be completely off grid, but with running hot and cold water, solar electricity, and heating and cooling features. We also feature an indoor shower, sink, and composting toilet. Bring your ATV's, mountain bikes, or hiking boots to explore the Pebble Basin. Or take a short drive to Lava Hot Springs for world-class hot pools, water slides, or white water rafting. Fishing in the Portneuf River or Chesterfield Reservoir, exploring the Chesterfield historic town site, or trying out a zipline or go-cart are other local activities. Pebble Yurt was built circa 2010 by a retiring forest service employee to the highest standards. We've used that canvas to create a unique glamping experience for our guests, with the best creature comforts available in a wilderness setting.

Bristol Park Historic Cabins

4 sites · Lodging36 acres · Lava Hot Springs, ID

Bristol is bordered by the Portneuf River to the North and Mt Moh to the South, offering river access and a host of trails. Fishing in the river is great, boasting rainbow, cut throat, brook and brown trout. There's also a few great swimming holes right below the property, including a 15 ft. waterfall. Guests may hike trails to the old mines, or be directed to a plethora of trails for biking nearby. The setting at Bristol is uniquely peaceful for the busy tourist town of Lava Hot Springs. Although still technically within city limits, the place offers an atmosphere of it's own, seemingly outside of time. Once a miners camp and stage coach stop along the Oregon Trail, we have worked hard to maintain the buildings and grounds. With an abundance of trees, (bonus if you can name all varieties) the main compound is well shaded through the hot summer months. Our single room, quaint cabins have a shared bathroom with showers and towels available. We are a minutes walk from the hot springs and downtown, so no need to fight for a parking spot!

Overview

In eastern Idaho between Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Blackfoot is known as the “Potato Capital of the World.” It’s also easy to enjoy the outdoors in Blackfoot. The Greater Blackfoot Greenbelt is the city’s recreation hub, and also offers access to the Snake River and Jensen Grove Park and Jensen Lake. Nearby, county and state parks offer numerous water and land-based activities, including hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and winter activities. Camp in town at an RV park, or head out to nearby county and state parks to stay in a tent, RV, rustic cabin, or yurt.

Where to go

At Wolverine Canyon, enjoy hiking, whitewater rafting, fishing, birding, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and dispersed camping.

Craters of the Moon National Monument

Northwest of Blackfoot, the Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve offers a surreal volcanic landscape that looks as if it belongs on the moon. The massive park offers a large variety of volcanic formations, opportunities for caving, as well as colorful wildflowers in summer in certain areas. Several rustic and wilderness camping areas let you explore the park at your leisure over several days.
