National forest 107mi from Alberton · 539 sites
It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.

We had a great time! Unfortunately it was raining the whole time we were there so we didn’t get the full experience although the little cabin was adorable and perfect! The area around the camp site was very pretty and had plenty of space! Directions were very clear as to how to get to it. Overall loved the site, and I’d love to book again when it’s less raining!

Coolest lil set up ever and Corey's attention to detail was on point. Firewood and starter made coming into camp later in the evening a breeze. Absolutely loved waking up in the shelter cabin and having a fantastic view. Already planning another trip back and have recommended this camp to friends and family

If you're looking for somewhere quiet, charming, and full of character, this is it.
We absolutely loved our stay here. Geoff and Heidi were kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about sharing their little slice of paradise.
The A-frame was super cute and comfy, and falling asleep to the sound of the creek was so relaxing. One of our favorite parts was meeting all the animals! Special mention to Curly the pig and all of their lovely dogs.

This experience was amazing and Geof was a top-notch host! If you want views and lots of animals with a comfortable camping this site is it! The camping setup was the perfect level of rustic with comfort. The shower was so nice to have and the A-frame was super comfortable, plus it added a layer of safety from bears....yes bears. We stayed there 2 nights and saw black bears both days, such a cool experience! (spoilers) Cows, goats, donkeys, dogs, and pigs were all so friendly. And the views were breathtaking, with the cows it felt like we were in the swiss alps. Learning about the reservation culture and history from Geof was such a neat surprise. It is always fun to learn about culture of the area we were visiting and Geof definitely provided that. I can't say enough good things about this campsite, highly recommend. Thanks Geof!

Great site and we fit 2 cars, an 8 person tent and an additional 3 person tent for a party of 5 very easily. One slept in the bunkhouse on the comfy futon. We saw 2 bears and talked to them till they left, super chill couple and quiet neighbors. We locked food garbage in cars at night. Great hiking/fire trails to explore and find wild mushrooms and wildflowers. There are edible boletes and russulas, and some non edible agaricus around. Fire pit is great and has benches. The outhouse is clean and has trash bags and a set up for disposable waste bags or wag bags from walmart(maybe someone else left them, not the host) and litter bottles. We will be back for another concert stay, and will recommend it to anyone!

The area was really nice. It is overlooking the city of Missoula. I love that they put a small cabin in there with a sofa bed. The foam of the sofa bed was uneven. I think it would be more comfortable if only one person were sleeping in there. Other than that, I enjoyed staying there and would recommend it to other people.

Between the mapping and the directions given, it was easy to get to. I was on a cross country trip and got in at just about midnight on a rainy night, but still had no problem finding it. Nice and private, perfect for my dogs to run around while I set up camp in my truck. About 12 minutes from the freeway, I enjoyed driving just enough off the main road to get to some seclusion.

I would have booked another night but had plans for the next evening already. I highly recommend this spot - a steal for the price.

It’s clean and well taken care of. There is also a little seating area down by the creek to hang out and enjoy the sounds of nature. We also saw a ton of deer around. I would 10/10 stay here again.

This place is magical! The little seasonal creek in front of the cabin, the tall cottonwoods, the bigger creek tucked into the trees and even the purple flowers of the thistle as you walk the trail to get there were all so beautiful. We spent our days on the cabin porch listening to bird song and enjoying visits from the hummingbirds, Pumpkin the cat and the friendliest dogs who brightened our mornings. Cody was an awesome host, accommodating and helpful. Having spent most of our journey tent camping, the cabin was a luxury - clean and cozy with comfortable beds, a powerful fan for a warm day and a little grill and hot plate for warm meals. We loved it so much we extended our stay by a day and can't wait to go back!
