The best dog-friendly camping in Idaho

·

Considering a camping trip to Idaho but don't want to leave your best friend behind? Don't fret—Idaho is filled with dog-friendly campgrounds, cabins, and unique rentals. While national parks like Grand Teton and Yellowstone limit dog access, there are plenty of places to roam freely. The Sawtooth National Forest, Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, and Caribou-Targhee National Forest all offer millions of acres to explore with your dog. Camp with your pooch on the lakes or mountains and spend your time stargazing from a tent or the deck of a quaint cabin. Off-leash areas and dog parks are plentiful in cities like Boise, while remote campgrounds and more off-the-beaten track places offer room to throw a ball and run around freely. Idaho's freshwater lakes and rivers also mean you will have space to swim and cool off in summer. Treat your dog to the adventure of a lifetime in Idaho’s great outdoors.

My Grandfather owned this property for many years. He dry farmed this land and raised nine children to be hardworking. I visited this property many times to work along side my father and grandfather. I remember horseback riding and building a shed for my grandfathers combine. I recently purchased this property from my grandparents and got to work building my tiny home that my new family lives in. Learn more about this land: **New hammock posts on site #4** These campsites are at the mouth of Cub River Canyon. The views are expansive and beautiful. National forest is only a few minute drive away along with a handful of reservoirs and river access. Come enjoy the views. These are primitive campsites with no potable water. There are antique farm implements visible on the property.
