These 5 Luxury Glampgrounds In Idaho Will Give You An Unforgettable Experience

 Traditional camping is great, but if you've ever wanted to add a little luxury - a little glam - to your rugged backcountry experience, Idaho has got you covered...literally. If sleeping on a rocky tent pad or struggling to stay warm during Idaho's chilly summer nights isn't your idea of fun - or maybe you're just looking for a more romantic getaway - these "glampgrounds" offer queen-sized beds, Wi-Fi, heated rooms, and extra amenities to transform an ordinary wilderness trip into something, well, a little more first class. If that sounds like your idea of a perfect vacay, these Idaho glamping spots are calling your name.

1. Wagonhammer, North Fork

A white teepee tent stands in a grassy area surrounded by trees and mountains under a clear blue sky.

This pet-friendly RV park just north of Salmon has some excellent views, but for adventurous campers, the best way to experience Idaho's beauty up close and personal is with a stay in a teepee. More glamorous and scenic than a traditional tent, these rustic sleeping quarters will offer you a scenic experience like no other.

2. Far and Away Adventures, Salmon River

A bright orange tent by a river, with mountains in the background and two people relaxing on the sandy shore.

This guided adventure will offer a one-of-a-kind luxury camping and fishing trip. While your tent will be, you know, just a tent, you will be served impeccable cuisine and drinks along the scenic banks of the rushing Salmon River. A hot shower? Done. Bourbon on the rocks? You got it.

3. Stargazer Yurt, Idaho City

A green yurt on a wooden deck surrounded by trees, with mountains in the background under a blue sky.

Idaho offers dozens of scenic yurts (Stargaze included), and Idaho City is a hub for those looking for a rugged stay — even during the warm season. For rustic luxury and prime access to the best hiking trails, every yurt offers its own unique setting and luxuries ... some even have their own personal hot tubs.

4. Moose Creek Ranch, Victor

A cozy wooden cabin with a red door and two red chairs on the porch, surrounded by trees and greenery.

Situated near the Tetons, you know you're going to wake up every day to a stunning panoramic mountain view. Moose Creek Ranch allows you to take that ambiance to the next level by offering glamping tents furnished with queen-sized beds, plus shaded porches. And for those who don't feel like roughing it over a fire pit, Victor just happens to be a small-town foodie's dream when it comes to cuisine.

5. Mary Jane's Farm, Moscow

A cozy cabin surrounded by trees, with colorful chairs arranged around a fire pit on a grassy area.

Idaho's original and most luxurious glamping experience can be found at Mary Janes Farm. Uber plush beds, country-chic decor, and just a touch of glam make this cozy farm a must-stay.

Editor's Note: Unfortunately, Mary Janes Farm is not taking reservations for the 2023 season due to extensive damage from the weather. But, make sure you keep checking its website for when 2024 reservations open.

Imagine waking up to an Idaho sunrise from a plush, cozy bed - how incredible! Of course, there's plenty more getaway opportunities where this list came from, so stay tuned as we keep exploring Idaho's best wilderness glamping options.

No matter the time of year, camping is always on the itinerary! This season, check out Fish Creek Campground near Grangeville. This is one one-year-round campground in Idaho that may become a new favorite place to stay.

9 Stereotypes About Idaho That Need To Be Put To Rest – Right Now

Image
  Remember when you were a kid and you were told that it wasn’t nice to stereotype people? So why would you stereotype a state? There are more than a few outrageous rumors floating around about Idaho and the people who live here. We collected nine of the most famous ones so that they can finally be put to rest. These stereotypes are just that—stereotypes. By no means do they reflect our entire state, so maybe think twice when you catch yourself giving into one! 1. All Idahoans are either potato farmers... Indeed, potatoes are one of our state's most important crops when it comes to the agricultural industry. In fact, more than 320,000 acres of land are used to grow potatoes every year. But no, we don't ALL work on potato farms. That would just be ridiculous. 2. ...or rednecks. Sure, Idaho is a red state but that doesn't make everyone who lives here a redneck. You MIGHT come across some Bud Light lovin...

Skillern Hot Springs: Natural Hot Springs in Idaho

Image
 With nearly 130 soakable hot springs (the most soakable hot springs of any state in the country), there are dozens of destinations to visit. However, places like   Lava Hot Springs ,   Goldbug Hot Springs , and   Kirkham Hot Springs   can draw in quite a crowd. That’s why I love Skillern Hot Springs. This is a lesser-known, almost top-secret spring that is worth visiting. However, you’ll want to put on your hiking shoes because it’s not an easy journey to get here. Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sawtooth National Forest. Some of the towns closest to this unique destination include Fairfield to the south and Ketchum to the east. You’ll find the trailhead and parking area for this natural spring at Canyon Transfer Camp. To visit this natural spring, plan a full-day adventure.  Grab your hiking boots , swimsuit, and lots of water because you’ll have a six-mile journey ahead of you. The main trail splits into upper and lower trails. During the late...
