11. Idaho Panhandle National Forests

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.

A great location far from town that's quiet, relaxing and provides an amazing stargazing experience at night. The hosts are wonderful people who bend over backwards to take care of you while giving you plenty of privacy. While it is a drive into the mountains (about 4,000ft elevation according to my phone), the property is easy to find and accessible via paved roads if arriving from the East/Whitefish. There's no cell service, so bring a satcom system or use the one generously provided by the hosts. The two RVs sites are in tandem along their access road. They're not private and may take bit of leveling on your arrival, but are easily accessible by even large trailers.

Host was very communicative regarding his site. Upon arrival I walked the route per his suggestion-unfortunately there were some branches that were too low for my rig. I messaged him and he refunded without issue. He appreciated the feedback and will look at removing the low branches. A beautiful site on the water-Hope to return in the future!

Great hosts! Nice location with a pond (well cared for) and creek on site. Stayed in a camper, water/power/sewer were great. Flat area. Lots of deer. Very quiet area, great to sit and listen to your surroundings. Property very well cared for. Internet was pretty solid. Streaming video was great, sometimes MS Teams didn’t like it but that platform is sensitive. Calls over WiFi were perfect. Did I say the hosts were fantastic? Be aware that it’s a bit of a drive from whitefish so plan ahead for drive time. Stayed for 3 nights. If in the area again, this place is my first choice.
