Best Glamping near Preston, ID

This was the first time that we stayed in a yurt, and it is a game changer.  It is honestly so nice once in a while to not have to put up camp or break camp.  For a nice, glamping getaway this is the place to be.  The grounds are beautiful, the host is kind, it is so quiet, and there was a lot of wildlife.  I recommend it for those who don't want to miss the comforts that they have at home, or just for those of us who tent camp and want to make is even more special once in a while.

The Green Canyon yurt it's owned and managed by Powder Ridge ski touring. During the winter months, Powder Ridge manages the Green Canyon Road and grooms it on an almost daily basis. It is groomed for cross-country skiing with the designated track on one side. You can also Snowshoe, or ride your bike with fat tires up if your adventurous! The trail is approximately 3.8 miles long with a steady incline most of the way. There are a few spots with decent little Hills.

The yurt itself can sleep 12, on four twin over full bunk beds. There's a cooking area, table, pots and pans, and of course a pot belly stove to keep it nice and warm. I had the opportunity to Snowshoe up with a friend after Christmas 2016, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The folks at Powder Ridge were great to work with.

I will say if you Snowshoe up, please don't do what we did and make sure to avoid the established cross country ski track. As it was our first time snowshoeing up there, we didn't know and ended up ruining it in a few places. They were able to fix it easily that night, but had we been paying attention they would not have had to.

I believe we paid $250 for the night, the pricing may have changed so I would refer you to them for more information in that regard. The cost however, would easily be distributed among 12 friends.

We stop here on occasion on our way back to Idaho. The camp is really old and not many campers but shady and bathrooms clean. We usually camp in very back by the farm so very quiet. Heard coyotes and lots of owl pellets around camp. Fun diner not too far away is the Peach Pit. Burgers milkshakes etc. eat in or out and even drive in service last time we were there.

In far away Downey Idaho is a little resort with hot springs, cabins, wagons, teepees, a RV campground and a nice little eatery and a load of other fun things. It's small but busy so make reservations, when you check in ask about the steak and soak...so worth it especially if you arrive later and only have a few hours. One of the biggest pluses is the cleanliness of the whole property and the level of care throughout. This is a great place for families where parents can relax as the kiddos entertain themselves and you can meet up at the campfire for dinner. This is a high recommendation for this great place.

Had a amazing time at bear river hot springs staff was vary friendly and helpful with getting my motorhome backed in and settled in the pools have been updated definitely will be coming back soon

The campsites were ok. Gravel back in campsite. Cabins were run down, public bathroom was nasty. Our kids enjoyed being so close to the water slide right next door. That was the highlight. The people who worked there were friendly. The entire place needs to be fixed up and cleaned. Garbage was over flowing. Overall I don’t recommend.

Having grown up in northeastern Utah, at the base of the Uinta Mountains, I’ve done a lot of camping. However, this is now one of my favorite sites. We went as an extended family, but since the group sites were already reserved, we got 5 sites on the south side of the campground. Everyone loved their site, and we can’t wait to get back.

So beautiful and great fishing!

My boys thought this was the greatest spot we’ve ever found…. Site 53 was by far the best in the camp. Large fire pit, at the back of the campground, the creek was 10 ft from our tent. Trail for hiking right there and the cleanest bathrooms! Camp host was friendly and helpful with on questions about exploring the area. My boys could have stayed two weeks fishing the creek! Lots of trout. Saw a moose! The water was freezing, but clean and refreshing. It was just the right altitude to provide relief from the summer heat. We did not have reservations but we’re able to find this spot and several others to chose from on a Monday-Wednesday. Seems it filled up with reservations from thurs -sun.

Stayed one night great spot to see stars at night!

Loved this place will definitely go back. Spacious and not too crowded. Lots of hiking spots!

Have camped here for years. The road in the campground is tight on some corners for longer rigs. A lot of spots are difficult to back into with a trailer. Small trailers and tents will work best up here. There are vaults and some flushers during the peak season. Lake gets very busy on weekends but is fun.

This is such a lovely place to camp. The campsite has many trails going down to the lake. Fir trees are everywhere, and the campground is very clean.

Campsites are close but the tall trees offer privacy. The lake is a short walk and has a nice path all the way around it with some good fishing areas and a small “beach” area. Paved roads with picnic tables and fire rings and pit bathrooms.

Drove up a rough dirt road to get there. There was a couple of sites with tables. Located in a cow pasture. There were lots of cows in campground and the area was well fertilized with fresh cow excrement. 🐄

I enjoyed my time here will definitely be coming back. Lots of space.

Nice little spot in the middle of nowhere. A little crowded is my only complaint. Nice friendly staff. Good pools. Basic amenities available in the main office. We had a spot with power and water. Kids and dog loved it. We got to see the fireflies in the field!

We come here every year to meet family. Friendly staff, clean areas, reasonable rates. Busy time is between Memorial Day and Labor day. We always visit after Labor Day. No sewer, electricity and water at most sites
