Description

Visit Website for information

SCARS HOME YOU CAN USE AS A DRY DUSTY BUMPY RARELY LEVEL FIELD FOR CAMPING OR DOGS

WIFI, ELECTRICITY, CAMPFIRE, AND A BEER. ACCESS CONTROLLED FOR SAFETY. ALL FREE.

NO WATER OR SEWER ON SITE.

NO NEW GUESTS AFTER SUNSET. SOME CAN'T READ THIS OR GET IT, BUT NO NEW CAMPERS AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN.

Blame your school district or your inability to browse the internet if this confuses you, not the free campground guy.

We also find it really ironic to be called sketchy by someone who attempted to come in after dark.

NO GATE ACCESS 10:30 PM TO 7AM. The gate won't be opened to new guests after sunset, but existing guests come and go, and being primarily a dog park, it is always gated, open or not. Maybe you should read the website?

Free camping

I happened upon Honeys Camping area. Scar is the owner of the property and a very kind man. He has 2 rules to stay on his property, you need to speak to him before you enter, and you need to come outside and join all the campers at dusk and stand for the Star Spangled Banner. He does not have any water, but he does have 30 amp electric sites. It is an open field with beautiful views of the mountains. You can get water and also dump your trailer at the free city dump station very close to the campground.

I choose to bloviate on part of this response. Honeys is just a mans private home where he lets lots of folks, in the thousands since its founding, sleep in his back yard. We offer Electricity, WIFI, Coffee in mornings, Hostels for those in need or without their own RVs, as well as showers in one of the hostels. We also in fact, often haul water in for our guests needs, though we have no well or sewer on our property. So it's more like boondocking with bonuses, all paid for by a man who makes right around $12k per year. I say all that as I think you should probably be grateful for what I can offer, and realize the amount of effort it takes for me to do so. In short on this point: I'm not sure what I am supposed to do on top of what I do in order to earn that 5th star. I think we should encourage people to help others, not discourage people by rating their homes lower than the average rating it had before you arrived. I'm not angry, just a little disappointed since I broke a personal rule of mine and invited her from over the fence at the neighbors, something I never do, and will probably take another oath to God so I can force myself to never do so again. Others should in fact feel free to rate me for what they feel is correct, and I can in fact live with 1 star reviews as long as they are honest. If we get too low and I feel unappreciated, I shall simply close the camp. For people that seek free camping, this is not something you should want, but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong in my life.

As for the rules, I'm a conservative patriot and force people to be polite at the evening playing of our national Anthem, that is in fact the only thing I insist on in payment for your stay. Americans either saluting if veteran, hand over heart for civilian, and foreigners simply politely standing unless physically impossible due to a medical condition.

Being the back yard of my private home, imagine if people tried to sleep in your back yard without telling you who they were. This minor amount of politeness is basically the must say hello at the gate rule, and in fact keeps bad people you wouldn't want camped next to you outside the camp. Seems pretty common sense to me.

Can't get in after dark

Place has signs that may offend you politically. It sort of looks like a mad max camp with old busses and vehicles. You can not get in here after dark. The owner came out and talked for a minute, said its a personal rule of his and I would be welcome back tomorrow. If you are easily sketched out, you will be sketched out.

100% correct. Promised God after Ruby's death that I wouldn't let anyone in after Sunset when we play the national anthem, as people were obviously trying to skip it with us. This is on our website, and our digital sign on the driveway. If you didn't read that before coming I'd blame your school district, not the free campground guy.

As for the easily sketched out, I suppose. It's the free campground, with no one but veterans and ex cops camping here on a regular basis, I'd go to a paid camp where the felons can sleep next to you for a few bucks.

The bees knees

Talk about a great find after taking a wrong turn at 1.am free sites with plenty to pick from. When you check out the website make sure you read the whole thing, the guy is hilarious, had my girl and I laughing the whole time, dogs had a blast were able to run around the whole time with out leash,. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could

Great spot

This is a great location. The owner of the property, Scar, is very generous in offering his property for free to stay at to complete strangers. This is dry camping, no water or sewer. There’s a dump station with water close by off the main highway. He does have a few outlets we saw but didn’t use them. Owner is friendly and generous. We enjoyed the nightly campfire. Read his website before arriving, all he really asks for and be respectful. Craters of the Moon is not too far. We hope to stop by again one day. Idaho is beautiful.

Free camping with power wifi and everything nearby.

It's a free campground ran by a disabled vet. He can't and won't charge anyone, though lately has been allowing donations to pay it forward and help with things like recovering the power installation etc. Come make a friend, share a beer, hang as long as you want as long as you're not a jerk. Dogs are welcome and the place is named after one.
