Wayfarer Vans Heads North to Stanley, Idaho 

As we continue our new version of Wayfarer Weekend with smaller and more frequent trips, we love showing off parts of the lesser known U.S. Which is why we’re pointing the compass north for a trip to Stanley, Idaho! 

What To Expect On Wayfarer’s 4-Day 3-Night Trip To Stanley, Idaho:

  • Hot springs
  • Education on Idaho Salmon 
  • Free time to explore and hike in the Sawtooth Mountain range.

As with every Wayfarer trip, this retreat is designed to give you the freedom to experience Stanley, Idaho, using your Wayfarer Van. 

Our campground at Mountain Village Lodge comes with a private wooden hot spring located that’s walking distance of our campground. These pools offer a luxury, spa-like experience on the banks of a beautiful river with stunning mountain views.

Travel to nearby Redfish Lake to learn about the furthest inland spawning location of any salmon in the lower 48 states and the conservation efforts that are happening to protect the Idaho Sockeye Salmon.
