Sitting atop of Smokey Mountain range at a breathtaking—yes, pun intended—7,200 feet, Castle Rocks Campground is one of the highest elevated places to pitch a tent in all of Idaho.

Nestled within the state’s largest sector of pinyon pines, the area’s paved camping pads offer a secluded getaway from the mind-chatter that’s orchestrated by the concrete jungles many of us call home. It also boasts flush toilets, showers, a dump station, and electricity, plus 2 yurts and a handful of equestrian sites. There's a plethora of activities to do in each season (this campground is on top of a mountain, so we bet you can guess which ones), and is home to wildlife like mule deer, moose, mountain lion, coyote, and more.

Pheasant Acres (Runyon Ranch)

1 site · RV3 acres · Heyburn, ID

Looking for a stopover place with plenty of parking space? Maybe our site will be a match for you and your RV! (If your rig is not fully self-contained, please note that we do not offer facilities of any kind. You will need a privacy tent for your own portable restroom.) Our house and shop and a few other outbuildings sit on 3.5 acres on a dead-end dirt lane, and we have space we'd be open to sharing with you. We have updated our listing (May 2024) to accommodate your preferably-fully-self-contained unit in our side yard area only (because of irrigation timing in the back-yard area, we are no longer offering that area for your stay). Your parking/dry-docking space in our side yard boasts several large trees and some shade. There are some branches to navigate but there is ample space to choose your perfect spot. The site runs alongside our driveway so our vehicles will obviously be visible from your parking spot but there is plenty of room there for your extra vehicle(s) in our driveway as well. This spot has very little privacy because it is set back from our dirt lane and in between our home and our neighbor’s shed (but they are family). But it is peaceful and safe (and we are very close to "town" and all the conveniences of such). Being almost next to the Snake River, and having a natural marsh just to the North of our property, mosquito repellant is highly recommended during certain times of the year. We are just a few miles (5 mins or so) from the freeway, Walmart, restaurants, and public access to the Snake River (boating, fishing, swimming), and golfing. We have three friendly dogs (lab, Yorkie, pug-chihuahua) but we have an underground fence system so they will generally be out of your area (with a few exceptions) and most likely in our house much of the time. (Must love dogs. ♥️) IF YOU HAVE DOGS, please keep them on a leash and clean up after them appropriately, thanks!
