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.
