Old growth aspen forest camp

1 site · RV8 acres · Tetonia, ID

Learn more about this land:This isn't a fancy retreat or crowded campground. Its just my personal little slice of heaven that i want to share with people.

The property is a shady thick aspen forest with occasional clearings and undeveloped game trails. You can expect to see wildlife if you stay for very long at all. It's very common to see moose, rabbits, foxes, deer and all kinds of birds frolicking in the woods. The property is also about a 2 mile drive from 2 different national forest access areas both offering unique hiking, fishing, off roading , skiing, and exploring. Also, grand Targhee ski resort is only a 20 minute drive from the house. The Teton river " 30 minutes away" has world class fishing for everyone from kids to serious fly fisherman. We have 3 friendly labrador muts living on the property so if you have dogs that like to play in the woods and are friendly to other dogs, bring them!

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.
