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.

Teton Corners River Preserve

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Rexburg, ID
Teton Corners has been a favorite fishing and stayover spot for generations, and we felt we should step up and adopt it since we didn't want to see it developed, ripped apart or closed off. Know that by staying here, you are helping preserve this small piece of natural beauty in Idaho. It may not be the biggest preserve, but you have to start somewhere. Come stay a night! Learn more about this land: Come to our riverside getaway at Teton Corners. This 3 acre peninsula into the Teton River provides amazing trout fishing right from your tent door (licenses issued just 1 mile down the road). This gorgeous nature area is minutes from town, with easy access to HWY20 and HWY33. Deer, moose, bald eagles and osprey frequent the area year round, as well as beaver, waterfowl and night owls. RV dumps right down the road, as well as a 27 hole golf course, if that's your thing. Or just relax, dip your feet in the Teton River and listen to the water pass by. Note: River levels fluctuate over the season. We've tried to take pictures of all water seasons for reference.

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.

Camping near Mud Lake guide

Overview

With less than 500 residents and little more than a burger joint and a gas station to its name, the tiny town of Mud Lake in Jefferson County is unlikely to be top of your Idaho to-do list. But if you’re seeking a wildlife experience away from the crowds, then its namesake lake, just north of town, is sure to deliver. A short detour from Interstate 15 and within a 2-hour drive of both the Craters of the Moon National Monument and the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, the Mud Lake Wildlife Management Area encompasses a 4,500-acre lake, surrounded by shallow wetlands and marshes. Bring a paddle boat to cruise the lake or your waders to explore the marshlands, where you can spot more than 49 water bird species and 28 waterfowl species, along with deer, elk, and big game species. Campers can stay at the two primitive campgrounds, which offer restrooms and fire rings.
