It is a common use amenity open to River Cabin and Campsite guests. Adult supervision is required. Thank you. You are in a forest on land shaped by the last Ice Age, The forest has nurtured generations of of wildlife including majestic birds of prey. It sustained the Kootenai People before borders separated their lands. It saw determined miners pass this way seeking their fortune in gold from British Columbia. This forest supplied timber to build railroads and homes for families in the western migration. Our family is the current steward of this forest and it is our wish to respectfully share its beauty and observe its wildlife with your family and friends!

Cedar Grove RV/TRL Park/Campsite

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely beautiful views with thoughtful accomodations. The property is stunning with mountain and river views. The campsite was awesome with 2 preschoolers. Thoughtful luxuries for kids like a great playset/swing set, little person toilet seat cover and stool for the urinal. The host definitely put thought into camping with littles! Plenty of room to explore down by the river and a nice walking trail through the forest. Great fire pit and covered structure with picnic table and large bear box. Just a short drive to an easy hike with a beautiful waterfall. We had a blast. Only issue (no fault of the owner!) was a party one night at the next property over. We had 4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. We were comfortable and had plenty of room for everyone. Paul was responsive and helpful with any questions. We will absolutely be back!

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

AMAZING slice of heaven!!!

This is such a beautiful hidden gem that has everything you need for this calm and peaceful getaway. The cabin is perfect as it has all the amenities you could need in the wilderness! Although we came on the off season when the full amenities of the shower were already winterized (which Paul had already let us know), we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying all there is out here! Paul is an amazing host who really has a wonderful set up! Cozying up by the fire pit that’s riverside was so amazing, too! We even saw a deer in the river right near where we were! We hope other Hipcampers have so much fun here just as we did! Thanks for sharing this little peace of Heaven with us Paul!

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

A good place to unplug

It's just right. Has some internet in case of emergencies and you need to text someone, but not enough to stream TikTok. Otherwise, you feel way out there, which is what we wanted. The dog loves the place, and the fire pit next to the river is awesome. Looking forward to staying there again.
