41mi from Coeur d'Alene · 1 site · Lodging · Clark Fork, ID

Snug tiny 8’x12’ bungalow in the woods with everything you need for a not-so-rustic camping experience, surrounded by a forested mountainside. Inside, you’ll find a cozy full-size bed with extra blankets and pillows, a rocking chair, and a small wardrobe. Just outside, there’s a level 8’x8’ tent platform for extra space. Enjoy a big patio with a swing, an outdoor kitchen with seating for four, a fire pit, room to park—and even ingredients for s’mores. The bungalow has power for lights and charging your gadgets, while fresh water comes from a 2.5-gallon spigot tank filled from our deep well. A private, breezy outdoor potty with a bucket toilet is included (and doesn’t stink—we promise!). The outdoor kitchen features a camp stove, sink, counter space, cooking utensils, camp dishes, and more. The outdoor adventure here is endless. Turn right up the road—part of the Idaho Centennial Trail—to explore hundreds of square miles of roads, trails, wildlife, mountains, and rivers. It’s perfect for mountain biking, hunting, or seasonal huckleberry and mushroom picking. Turn left and you’re minutes from Montana, or head to the endlessly scenic Clark Fork River and delta with its dozens of wooded islands. Bring your water toys to enjoy vast Lake Pend Oreille—Idaho’s largest lake and the fifth deepest in the nation—for fishing, boating, swimming, paddling, kayaking, or canoeing. Just across the river, the huge Lightning Creek drainage offers backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, and endless exploring. Further out, you’ll find the town of Sandpoint and, just above it, year-round fun at Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort. It all starts right here.

30mi from Coeur d'Alene · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Priest River, ID

This is a very private and quiet place, more of a sanctuary and not a party place. The only thing you hear is nature, a breeze through the pine trees, the birds, and the creek. This property was and is an organic permaculture farm in the forest. There are two orchards and an organic garden. The water is from a spring. The La Luna cabin is no longer off grid, but if the power does go out, it's a great place to be.. Hot Showers at my cabins are private and outdoors. There's nothing more wonderful than a hot spring-fed shower. The toilets are composting. (No water is wasted here)! Two of the cabins were built from the trees on the property by the first family that lived here in the earlier 1900s. The Birds Nest cabin was originally a tool shed that needed a LOT of Love to be in the condition that it is today. It does have power, running water and wi-fi. There is the option to take an acrylic painting class, banjo, guitar or fiddle lessons, paddleboard lessons, and have a real old-timey campfire with a glass of wine or two with live music performed by our famous Fiddlin Red on the fiddle, banjo, and guitar. Your experience here may change your life forever! We haven't added all the experiential options yet, so if there is something you are interested in please inquire. Every year we make it more and more magical and interesting. It's four miles up a county-maintained dirt road and one mile to a non-motorized lake. I can't see my neighbors, but they are awesome artists and musicians and some of them are off the grid! If you're bringing a pet, they must be on a leash and be quiet pets. If you are bringing a child they also need to be quiet and respectful. I want to keep my neighbors and my other guests happy with a peaceful atmosphere. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Cozy Mountain Bungalow

The cabin was great - it was a small shed converted into a cabin that had a single (full-sized? queen?) bed with a rocking chair, an armoir, and a small closet. The bathroom was an attached outhouse with sawdust to soak up waste and neutralize any smells. They provided a camping sink with 5 gallons of water, a camping gas stove, a citranella candle, and plates, bowls, and utensils. The cabin sits towards the middle of the driveway to the hosts' house and they have the friendliest dog. My son and I had a great time. Zero light pollution, no noise pollution, just fresh north Idaho air.

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin. It is a cute and cozy space, not too far from coeur d’alene but outside the city enough to avoid the noise and city lights. The dogs felt really comfortable and were able to run around and explore. We had all the comforts of home away from home and Aran was a really welcoming and responsive host. Would love to go again in the colder months to stoke a fire and enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter

The 7B Bungalow was everything we hoped for and so much more! The detail of every little thing about Bungalow was unbelievable. All the things you could need or want while still being minimal. The bungalow was crafted so beautifully inside and out. You can definitely tell lots of hard work work was put in! Our dog loved wandering around the property. The bungalow felt like it was a 100 miles in the woods, but it was just tucked away perfectly. The whole property was amazing and beautiful. Thank you so much for letting us stay. We definitely hope to come back again!!

A peaceful escape surrounded by nature! The little cabin was nestled in the woods, it was very cozy and private. Mornings with birdsong, hummingbirds humming around feeder and evenings under a sky full of stars made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

A picturesque, serene oasis! Close to the main road, but feels worlds away from the hustle of city life. Quaint, idyllic, comfortable, and so very very peaceful. Absolutely perfect location for our family’s trip to the state park and Silverwood. Owners are responsive and hospitable. All the rave reviews are justified! This place reminded me of a poem by William Butler Yeats called “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. Yeats describes a cabin on an island where he retreats so his soul can be restored. The second stanza of that poem perfectly describes what we felt at this heavenly Hipcamp Haven. “And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings.” Thank you Aaron and Aran for sharing your place with us. We hope to return soon.

Great Cabin in an awesome location! No hassle getting there and Aran was very helpful answering any questions we had. Very accommodating for pets and had plenty of room for them to run an play! The Cabin had great amenities inside and out, the propane fireplace was great to sit by. 10/10 we would stay here again, better than any hotel or KOA cabin.

The best forest cabins near Coeur d'Alene guide

Where to go

Farragut State Park

With hundreds of individual campsites for RVs and tents, plus cabins and group camps, Farragut State Park in Coeur d’Alene Mountains boasts an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities. Tree to Tree is a zipline park with wild swings and treetop rope courses for adventurers ages six and up. Farragut is also home to several disc golf courses, from Little Black Bear for beginners to Cutthroat for more experienced players. After a day in the trees, park at one of the many RV campsites in Farragut that have water and electricity hookups, plus shared showers with modern restrooms.

Heyburn State Park

The oldest state park in the Pacific Northwest, Heyburn State Park features Chatcolet, Benewah, and Hidden Lakes for terrific fishing, boating, and water sports. The meandering St. Joe River is another option for kayaking or canoeing past towering Ponderosa pine trees and flower-filled meadows. Spend the night amongst the trees at cottage and cabin rentals that offer comfortable amenities like furnished kitchens, charcoal grills, and outdoor picnic tables. Or go to a lakeside tent and RV campground near children’s playgrounds and indoor shower facilities.

Coeur d'Alene National Forest

Head deep into the woods at Coeur d’Alene National Forest, part of Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Explore the lush evergreen mountains while keeping an eye out for local wildlife, including woodland caribou, bald eagles, grizzly bears, muskrats, and black-backed woodpeckers. Hike the Bell Bay Trail around Lake Coeur d’Alene, or take a dip in the lake for a refreshing swim. When the day is done, stay at well-appointed campgrounds with drinking water and firepits in wooded valleys near peaceful Beauty Creek.

When to go

Camping near Coeur d’Alene is most comfortable from late spring through early fall, when temperatures hover in the high-50s to low-60s during the day. Watch out for slippery or muddy sections on hiking trails following rainfall or snowmelt. Summer is the busiest and hottest time to visit, with daytime highs approaching the mid-80s, and there are very few rainy days.
