Paradise on Mirror Lake

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Sagle, Bonner
***Voted BEST Hipcamp in Idaho for 2022 and 2nd BEST in 2023!*** Like a postcard photograph, our Hipcamp is perched up about 50 feet over Mirror Lake, sitting in a mountain bowl on one end of the lake. Campers will have gorgeous views and sunsets over the lake. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, hiking and wildlife watching abound. The campsite is off-the-beaten path so you'll be away from the crowds, yet the site is still close to other area attractions like Lake Pend Oreille (10 min. drive), charming downtown Sandpoint (15 min. drive) & Silverwood Theme Park (30 min. drive). The beauty and allure of Mirror Lake led to it being featured in two Hollywood movies -- Dante's Peak (1997) and Mel (1998). The lake itself is excellent for fishing, and stocked with Kokanee, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Cutthroat Trout. Swimming in nearby Talache Landing (a.k.a. Talache Beach) on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille is an absolute must-do. The views are absolutely stunning and the water is crystal clear -- and quite refreshing on a hot day. Fishing is best done in a canoe or small boat which can be put in at our campground dock (free) or at the nearby public boat ramp ($5 fee). Fishing off of the campground dock is also a possibility but beware that lily pads are prevalent. Please obey all of the camp rules which are listed on the laminated brochure at the campground entrance. The most important campground rule is leaving the campground just as you found it. This means packing out all trash to prevent wildlife from visiting our campground! A bit of history... In 2021, the campsites were graveled and graded, each with their own picnic table and fire pit. A mulch tent pad was added to Campsite #2. An on-site portable toilet was also installed at this time. In 2022, 50-30-20-Amp electric pedestals for camper and RV use were installed in campsites #1 and #2. (Electric fee may apply -- please ask Host.) Also, a sand tent pad was installed in campsite #4. In 2023 a brand-new 70' elevated nature-walk & dock were installed on the lakefront. In campsite #3, a mulch tent pad was installed. Also, an interactive "Enchanted Forest" was added to the campground, which lights up a night to reveal all of the woodland creatures that live there! (Kids love this!) In 2024, a well & pump will be installed, allowing campers to fill up with potable water within steps of each campsite. Also, a new grass beach will be created by the dock, which will be great for picnicking. As the host for this campground, I do not live on-site. You may reach me anytime before, during, or after your stay via phone, text or Hipcamp messenger. I almost always respond within a few minutes. Detailed directions, and camp information will be sent to every booked guest 48 hours prior to their arrival. When selecting your campsite, please take note of the following: Best lake views: Campsite #2. (Campsites #3 & #4 have limited lake views) Easiest RV access: Campsite #1. Most private: Campsite #1 or Campsites #3 & #4 when booked together. Most shade: Campsites #3 and #4. Sunniest: Campsite #1. Electric access: Campsites #1 & #2. Nearest to port-a-potty: Campsite #3. Nearest to lake: Campsite #2. Best for large parties: Campsite #2 (fits 2+ RVs) or booking Campsites #3 & #4 together.

Sacred Cedars

4 sites · Tents13 acres · Dover, Bonner
Sacred Cedars is home to the Sacred Cedars Wilderness School. The property is roughly 13 acres with 4 different eco-systems to explore. At the heart of the property is an ancient grove of Cedar trees, hence the name, Sacred Cedars. Sleep under the boughs of the mystical cedars. Hike up the hill to mossy rock outcroppings, and enjoy the evening sunset with a view of the Pend Oreille River and the Selkirk Mountains at the same time! Gaze at the wetland area for a cool soothing place to chill. Sacred Cedars is raw land at the end of the road, next to timberland. We are off-grid and provide tent and hammock camping spots, with 2 canvas tent glamping spots. Sacred Cedars is completely off-grid and home of Karie Lee Knoke, participant of the History Channels reality TV show, Alone. She may even spend some time with you around the campfire and tell stories if persuaded to. ;)

Phoenix Rising Ranch

5 sites · Lodging20 acres · Priest River, Bonner
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 off-grid with an option to plugin if needed. 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!

Camping near Sandpoint guide

When it comes to adventure, it doesn’t get much better than Sandpoint, Idaho. On one side, the 43-mile-long Lake Pend Oreille offers boating, fishing, and swimming. On the other, the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains are ideal for hiking, rock climbing, and biking. Scattered around Bonner County, you’ll find spectacular campsites and RV parks. Near Sandpoint, take your pick of beautiful waterfront campgrounds. Spot moose and beaver from the shady sites at Round Lake State Park. Nearby, Riley Creek and Priest River recreation areas offer riverfront sites. At Springy Point, take in the mountain and lake views from your picnic table. For wooded tent camping sites, head to the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The fire pits at Green Bay are perfect for s’mores. At Sam Owen near Clark Fork, swim from the sandy beach and use the boat ramp. If you want to camp for free, head to Whiskey Rock Bay. Hikers and bikers shouldn’t miss Priest Lake State Park. In the winter, book a cabin and snowshoe through the silent forest. Winter storms can come on quickly; warm gear and a 4WD vehicle can keep you comfortable.
