Pasture Oasis, Tent & RV Camping 🏔

10 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Shoshone, ID

Learn more about this land:Welcome to our pasture oasis! Our property is 4 miles down the road from BLM, where you are able to do any outdoor activities you desire. Personally, I love to ride horses and hike there. You may be greeted by horses or dogs on our property, and it's quite possible that you will hear coyotes at night (light sleepers take this into account). If you are a horse or dog lover, you are able to interact with our animals on the property! I am on the property, as well, for any questions/issues/concerns. There is a runoff river that runs through the property but rarely has water. We like to use it for campfires instead! Please reach out with questions and we look forward to your visit!

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.

Kraay's Market & Garden

4 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Bellevue, ID

The property has so much history. Larry purchased the 16 acres in 1978 as nothing but a field. His dream was to raise Arabian Horses, so that is what the property was set up to do and he did just that, very successfully. We did convert a few acres into a Market Garden a few years ago and started Kraay's Market Garden, you can find us online. We would love to share our place with you!

Camping near Ketchum guide

Overview

Ketchum offers campers easy access to Idaho’s famous Sun Valley ski resorts and mountain trekking areas. In-town campgrounds on Trail Creek provide views of Bald Mountain. Tent and RV campers can enjoy amenities like fire rings, drinking water, BBQ grills, picnic tables, and access to snowy slopes in winter or wildflower-filled meadows in spring. Sawtooth National Forest, 70 miles from Ketchum, is another outdoor haven for campers to go birdwatching for bald eagles, enjoy natural hot springs, and fish in lakes. Camp inside the park in an RV or go tent camping for access to popular trailheads. Nearby private camping areas offer full hookups as well as stunning views of Sun Valley—native deer, antelope, and mountain goats may visit the campsite too. Venture into the piney woods of Boise National Forest, an extension of Sawtooth, for a unique escape. Local campgrounds here provide accommodations for RV camping or tent pop-ups and invite visitors to bring paddleboards and fishing gear to explore the great outdoors.
