1 site · Tent83 acres · Crouch, IDA few years ago, we found this slice of forested paradise—83 acres of raw, unrestricted land tucked away in Garden Valley. 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.
While we will only be opening up this spot for a handful of days each year, this particular spot on top of the mountain we wanted to share it with others who value nature, solitude, and a special experience to remember forever. Whether you're hiking, stargazing, exploring, or simply unwinding, we hope this spot offers you the same sense of peace and perspective it gives us.
We do not allow motorized vehicles to the campsite, it is a fairly short and easy hike some old logging roads. from where you park your car to the campsite, the hike is only 1.2 miles and 574 vertical feet climb to the site. These roads are well marked and we maintain them well.
Campground Rules
Absolutely no campfires. No wood fires, no charcoal, no tiki torches—nothing with an open flame. Fire risk here is extremely high, and we take this very seriously. A propane fire pit is provided—this is the only fire source allowed.
No fireworks. Period. Not even the little ones. Fire danger is real, and safety comes first.
Personal cooking gear is okay—within reason. You’re welcome to bring your own propane stove or fuel-based cooking equipment, but it must be used only in the designated cooking area. No personal firepits or open-flame devices of any kind.
Bring your own water. There is no running water on site. Plan ahead and haul in what you need for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.
Leave no trace. Pack it in, pack it out. That includes all trash, food, and supplies. Please leave the site better than you found it.
Outhouse provided. There is a clean, rustic outhouse for your use. Please be respectful and leave it tidy for the next visitor.
Pets welcome. Off-leash is fine as long as they’re friendly, under voice control, and don’t chase wildlife. Clean up after your animals.
Music is cool—just not Woodstock. Feel free to enjoy your playlist, but let’s keep the forest peaceful. If it sounds like a concert, it’s too loud.
Cell service: Verizon works great for us.
