37mi from Coeur d'Alene · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging · Spokane, WA

The property we named GAEA (the old Greek spelling of Mother Earth) was first seen in a vision. Historically, Deep Creek Canyon was a winter encampment for the Spokane Indians, whose ancestral lands surround us. We feel the healing spirit of the land, in partnership and stewardship. We gather community for Solstice & Equinox celebrations, bringing people together to honor the changing seasons. Our original house was one of the first in the canyon, in the early 1940's. There’s a map that leads you to hidden features, like the gypsy fortune-telling tea house, a fairy mound at the base of a huge fir tree, a yoga platform, and a Buddha bench for contemplating or conversation.

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 truly enjoyed ourselves at The Bunk House. Stayed two nights. The amenties were on point and made it so easy to last minute plan a mini trip. We only needed food and clothes. We spent most of our days down at the river. The kids loved playing all day in the water. Floaties included. Sara is a very attentive host. Her two dog's were awesome and were great with our small baby dog. Great vibes! We will be back!!

Flying squirrel was occupied by girls ranging in age from 14 to just shy of 18. They loved their days there. I could hear the late night laughing and joyful tones of their voices. Having the small fire pit so they could make s'more was brilliant. They loved exploring the camp and leaving their fairy houses for others to enjoy. They are planning their 18th birthday celebration there. Thank you for providing such a beautiful location to strengthen the bonds of family and friends.

Weekend Trip to A Wee Place in the Woods

This was our second stay at the Wee Place in the Woods. Such a unique experience! I would 100% recommend staying here. The welcoming aura is all around! Chatting with Charlon was intriguing and she wants you to have the best experience here. The open air tree houses are enchanting! We will be back to visit again!

2 nights at A Wee Place in the Woods

It was a beautiful place with amenities within a short walk. The actual sleeping area was magical, next to pine trees and a babbling brook! I slept so well! We enjoyed the nice kitty who spent the night with us. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends!

2 nights at A Wee Place in the Woods

We loved our stay at Flying Squirrel Treehouse. This was a truly unique HipCamp experience - sleeping outside but undercover, with very comfortable beds. The Flying Squirrel Treehouse was an amazing space and having our own bedside firepit was amazing. A Wee Place in the Woods is a magical location. The kitchen facility is very well appointed and our daughter loved the craft area. Charlon was a great host and made us feel welcome and encouraged us to make the space our own. Highly recommend and would most definitely stay here again, should we take another trip to Sandpoint.

Weekend Trip to Little Spokane Riverside Retreat

Sarah is an amazing hostess! We loved it so much we went back the following weekend! We are so thankful she has chosen to share her property for others to have some joy as well. There are water toys available as well as hammock and other outdoor furniture.The bunkhouse is a great place! Sarah has some thoughtful amenities. The pillows and mattress were so comfortable neither one of us got up in the middle of the night as we usually do. I will vote Sarah as the super host of hip camp.

Weekend Trip to A Wee Place in the Woods

We had the best time reconnecting as a family at this magical campground. The hostess was so kind to our family & the other guests were very friendly. Everything about a Wee Place is so intentional & energetic. The photos don’t do this campground justice, you have to experience it to truly grasp the essence of this place. We stayed in July & underestimated how cool it can get at night but it just gave us a chance to cozy up next to each other. My significant other & I are already looking at our calendars to see when we can come again without the kids. Absolutely stunning campground, you will not be disappointed staying here.

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.
