HUNTING SEASON BASE CAMP!! This campsite is about 20 minutes drive from Sandpoint, ID. perched on the mountainside overlooking Lake Pend Oreille, the Pack River Flats, Idaho Club Golf Course, Schweitzer Ski Resort, and the Norther Selkirk Mountian Range, the property is bordered on the east by millions of acres of USFS lands (Kaniksu National Forest) to the east, and bordered on the west by thousands of acres of Idaho Fish & Game land. fishing on the Pack River is only a football field away, or if you want to tow a boat, the public boat launch on the lake is only a 5 minute drive from camp. Horse camping? Ride your horse off the property into hundreds of miles of horse trails, free to explore. Hunting? Make this camp one of the most beautiful base camps you ever had. Bring a bottle of wine and watch the sun set over the Selkirks while you enjoy the smoke and crackle of the campfire. Campsites are primitive, but two of them have enough space for boondocking. :-)

We’re new to Hipcamp and excited to share our beautiful property with you. We are a small 10 acre orchard, located in GreenBluff, WA, a farming community just north of Spokane, known for its U-Pick fruit and farm festivals. We have a variety of U-Pick fruit available when in season. We are surrounded by other small farms, as well as a brewery, winery, cidery, and a meadery. We are located on a quiet side street and enjoy our peaceful country life. We’d love to share that experience with you! We have two reserved RV spots with power and water hookups, or you can dry camp in the open areas in your RV or tent. We have a stand alone bathroom (toilet and sink) and a communal fire pit for everyone to use.

Learn more about this land: This 10 acre parcel is on a south facing slope with a forest of growing trees that are all 12 feet apart. Wildlife like deer, turkeys, and an occasional moose are common. One can walk through the woods or just sit and listen to nature all around. It's a great place for hammock camping! Two miles to the East is Lake Coeur d'Alene with great boating, kayaking, and fishing. Loffs Bay has a public boat ramp and lake access. This is not a good site for RV's! It is great for a jeep/subaru/small SUV. The trees are 12 feet apart and turning around would be difficult with an RV or trailer!

Quiet and picturesque- a perfect landing after our long day of traveling. Hosts so accommodating- I booked and arrived all within a 1/2 hour late in a Sunday night. They met us at arrival with a smile on- thanks again!

Camping in our 37’ 5th wheel in the orchard was a great blessing to our family. It is a peaceful location where hawks can be heard screeching during the day and owls and night. The fresh apples we picked were delicious. :) The 50amp power allowing us to run our AC was critical as the temps it 88f on one day. We would 100% stay again.

1 night at Glacial Ridge RV Park

This is an amazing site! We came in after 10pm and we were still able to register for a spot and directions were sent through the app. It was so easy to find. There was motion sensor lights to help us back in our RV. Only the lights at our site went on which was nice so if there are other RVs then their lights wouldn't go on and disturb them (though we were the only ones there). It was so quiet and peaceful. No traffic noise even though you are very close to the highway. No problems and felt safe. Very easy hook up, even for people that don't know much about RVs. :) Wonderful experience! 100% recommend this site!

Great spot close to Coeur d' Alene. It was nice to have electrical hookups. Loved the string lights! It did get a bit noisy at times with the proximity of the highway and a shooting range close by. We loved the surroundings and our site felt private. The goats were adorable! Would stay here again.

The site was fantastic. Power, trash, table and lights were all great. I wish a tent site was a little more level but it was totally fine. The trail to the goats and garden was wonderful. My kids loved it and begged to go ever chance they got. We met the owners down there and they were very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend.

This is a really special place! We loved our wooded site. It was quiet and peaceful, and located in a lovely rural area. Our daughter was able to ride her bike around a gravel loop, and we all took walks down to visit the goats and chickens. It’s very welcoming with light strung up and a sweet sign with camping “rules” (all the things to enjoy when camping). And it’s only 10 minute drive from Silverwood, Would stay here again for sure.

It was a great place to stay. Will say it was a little tight with the camper but wasn’t too bad. I like how it was tucked out of the way, but close enough to CDA.

Norman‘s land was amazing. He was an even better host. You have quick easy access to Silverwood and triple play both under 20 minutes away. It was nice and quiet! Loved that he had both 50amp and 30amp right at the camp sight and no need to run cord long distances. The Kids loved the kids “goats” a quick walk down the hill. The walking path was just enough to burn off your children’s energy while you drink your morning coffee. 10 out 10 would recommend again. We will definitely be back!

Great spot, very accessible and great location. We appreciated having a port-a potty, fresh water and a fire pit ready when we arrived. We got a chance to meet Toby who gave great recommendations for places to eat, float and even hike on the property. 10/0! Would and will book again!
