Another campground, in Heise Hot Springs (Southeast Idaho), features a river, a nearby golf course, and of course, hot springs!

The show by the Mountain River Ranch players features plenty of audience participation.

Finally, Stew and the crew visit the glorious Mesa Falls on Henry’s Fork of the Snake River in eastern Idaho.

The state of Idaho has more than 16,000 miles of streams, and one of the most famous in the world for fly-fishing, the Snake River. If you like to fish, there is a perfect spot to set up camp and drop a line just a short drive from Mesa Falls at the Red Rock RV and Campground.
