Camping in Idaho

No matter how glossy the photograph or how creative the description, the best advertising and marketing tools for Idaho’s camp grounds are still the other campers who have visited the site. A camper’s paradise, Idaho has hundreds of parks and camp grounds to suit the needs and preferences of every type of camper. Below are just three camp grounds in the state that have earned the satisfaction of its visitors. Use the list as a guide when planning a trip to this “Gem of the Mountains.”

* Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast (Clark Fork, Idaho) – Just 30 miles east of Sandpoint, Idaho, Huckleberry offers an upscale yet old-fashioned camping experience for its visitors. A canvas tent complete with a bed and other furnishing ensures that you still enjoy being amidst nature without sacrificing comfort and luxury. Indeed, there is no need to bring camping tents when you and your family go here; just bring your suitcase, ice and food. All other necessities will be provided by the establishment. According to a previous camper, “Great back-to-the-land getaway, everything I needed to have a comfortable camping experience was provided. Canvas tent cabin had a queen size bed, woodstove, table and chairs. A separate, screened kitchen and everything I needed to cook. A private, cute outhouse completed the rustic experience. [It is ] very private and secluded. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to camp without roughing it.”

* City of Rocks Natural Reserve (Almo, Idaho) – As a natural reserve, the beauty of City of Rocks rivals that of the Yosemite, with its granite rocks and cliffs and magnificent hiking trails. Activities here include camping, hiking, climbing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, educational programs, and hunting. Rock climbers are drawn to the area. According to a previous visitor, “Really nice campground, with amazing views, thanks to the rock formations. From one area you are really close to Window Rock. [The place] is also beautiful during winter.”

* Pipeline Campground (American Falls, Idaho) – Operated under the ownership of the Bureau of Land Management, this rustic camp ground has five sites on the Snake River, ideal for two and three-day canoe trips. Located near the American Falls Reservoir, fishing for rainbow trout and trophy brown is quite popular. If you like to bird-watch, there are over 30 species of migratory shorebirds that rest at the reservoir. Pelicans, bald eagles, terns, cormorants, Thayer gulls, and peregrine falcons also abound near the campground.

Regardless of the type of camp ground you are looking to visit or the season, make sure you’re your camping equipment will satisfy all of your needs. Fortunately, many online shops have begun offering top-quality camping equipment such as the full array of Coleman merchandise, and other famed brands like GSI Outdoors, Eureka, and Kelty.
