Ashton: Adventure Starts Here

     The small town of Ashton, Idaho is perfectly situated as a home base for enjoying the spectacular beauty of the Targhee National Forest.

     Ashton's theme is "Adventure Starts Here".  It more than lives up to that promise.



      We parked our trailer at the Ashton R.V. Park. The Park is on the north edge of town and is close to area stores and restaurants.

     Aspen Acres, Jessen's R.V. Park and Squirrel Creek Guest Ranch also offer R.V. facilities for visitors.

     In addition, there are other private or Forest Service campgrounds in the area.  Contact the Ashton Chamber of Commerce or the Targhee N.F. office in Ashton for details.



       The A1 parked by our travel trailer in the Ashton R.V. Park.  When standing at the back of our trailer we can see the snow capped peaks of the Teton Mountain Range.


Ashton's Main Street.  Small in size, but big in so many other ways. The grain elevators at the west end of town announce to the world that this is a farming community.  In addition to growing those famous Idaho potatoes, area farmers grow wheat, barley, canola, and hay.  Local ranchers produce excellent beef.
