Some of the most beautiful campsites in the world are in the PNW.

With stunning scenery, endless outdoor activities, and night skies that will blow your mind, Idaho and Montana camping are practically unparalleled in every way.  

When you think of Idaho, you might envision potatoes and vast farmland.

While this is true, it's only part of the picture. The Gem State is a treasure trove of pristine, crystal-clear blue lakes, lush forests, and the majestic Sawtooth Mountains. It's a camping enthusiast's picturesque dream come true.

And who can forget about Big Sky Country? 

Montana is an iconic American camping destination for multiple reasons. Loved for its stunning views of big blue skies, rugged mountains, and untouched wilderness, it's a sanctuary for all who enter. While Yellowstone and Glacier National Park Yellowstone are two of its most famous destinations, every corner of the state offers unforgettable adventures.

Why wait? Plan your PNW camping trip ASAP. 

 

Combined, these elements make camping in Idaho and Montana the idyllic choice for adventures seeking tranquility and magical moments with friends and family. And it doesn't end there. The gallery below highlights the most incredible campsites in Idaho, Montana and eight neighboring states.
