Camping season is fast approaching..did you know you can rent a fire lookout for camping in Idaho? Now you can even purchase a fire lookout with the most amazing views in Idaho along with 13 acres...Don't know what a fire lookout is, take a look.

Fire lookouts used to be placed all throughout Idaho's national forests and manned during the summer to keep a lookout for forest fires. It allowed firefighters to get a quick jump on fires before they turned into big fires. Due to technology, these lookouts are no longer needed, but a lot are still around and some are available for rent for camping in the summer...and the views are amazing.

Plus, after renting one for camping, maybe you decide that it's so cool that you want to buy one. Well now you can own your very own Idaho Fire Lookout along with 13 acres of land.  According to real estate web site Estately, the 197 square foot lookout sits atop a 20 foot steel tower with some of the most amazing views in Idaho. It's completely unplugged with now electricity, technology and running water, although there is an outhouse.  So if you really want to get away from it all, this is one way to really get away from it all.  Check out all the pictures of this one of a kind fire lookout that's for sale...and if you have a spare $67,000 you can even own it.....if you do buy it, I would be prepared for a bunch of new friends and family who might want to use it
