Discover Targhee National Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips
Originally comprised of several individual state parks and state forests, these Idaho parks were combined to form Targhee National Forest in 1891. The name, Targhee, comes from a prominent Native American chief, Tyhee, who was killed in a battle between the Nez Perce and U.S. Army in 1877. For several years, the main use of Targhee National Forest was grazing sheep. Targhee National Forest was later combined with Caribou National Forest, in part to minimize administrative oversight, ultimately forming over 2.6 million acres.

Getting Outdoors
Targhee National Forest covers a little over 1.6 million acres of wilderness while its counterpart, Caribou National Forest, is about 950,000 acres. Targhee National Forest sprawls across much of northeastern Idaho and northwestern Wyoming, bordering Grand Teton National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest, and Yellowstone National Park. Lodgepole pine, spruce, and fir trees tower overhead, providing shade over a majority of 1,600 miles of trails. The dense forest supports a wide variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, moose, deer, mountain lions, and elk. In the open spaces, adventurers might spot bison, pronghorns, and other critters that prefer dining on the prairie grasses.
Camping at Targhee National Forest
To beat the crowds to a prime fishing hole or popular trailhead, adventurers might have to get up several hours before dawn. A practical way to circumvent this is by renting a camper at Targhee National Forest. One needs to only step out of the front door of the temporary home to be surrounded by nature and wilderness in an instant. Targhee National Forest has several campgrounds, many of which are developed for RVs.
Exploring the Area
In addition to over 1,600 miles of hiking trails, there are a few hundred miles of roads that lead to various historic sites and quaint towns that dot Idaho’s landscape. Hop into a motorhome rental and hit the road. In between Island Park and Saint Anthony, ID, are three historical markers, Caldera Lookout Historical Marker, Three Tetons Historical Marker, and Volcanic Caldera Historical Marker, which informs the readers that these ancient mountains are in fact long-dormant volcanoes that may one day become active again.

Troy was great and provided everything we needed for our trip. The van was perfect for driving up to Yosemite and the Tetons. We were able to do some incredible dispersed camping with it! Would definitely recommend renting from him!

I had a great experience renting this trailer for me and my two small dogs. I had it delivered and they arrived on time and got everything set up for me. The trailer was just as pictured. The trailer was clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable and they even had a couple of fans to help keep me cool at night (in August). Overall a great experience!
