FALL / WINTER ALERT: About mid October we will have to deactivate our shower facility and on-site potable water at The River Cabin due to freezing night temperatures. That’s North Idaho 🥶🙂. Cabin water is available from a hydrant at our host cabin and we provide water containers and a wagon for your water fetching adventure. Finally, The River Cabin will close for the season around the end of December depending on snowfall conditions. If you book a December visit we reserve the right to ask you to arrive in a 4wheel drive vehicle or cancel your booking due to weather conditions. Thanks for your understanding. Note: We have a Bonners Ferry, ID mailing address but our physical location is approximately 30 miles North of Bonners Ferry and 1 mile South of Eastport, ID. We are a mile South of the Canadian Border just off US 95. Also, please note: Our tent campsite and RV campsite have separate booking sites but share the same shelter and toilet. If you book either site the "other" booking site is blocked during your stay. 2024 SEASON INFO - New for 2024 we will have a swing set down by the river below the campsite. It is a common use amenity open to River Cabin and Campsite guests. Adult supervision is required. Thank you. You are in a forest on land shaped by the last Ice Age, The forest has nurtured generations of of wildlife including majestic birds of prey. It sustained the Kootenai People before borders separated their lands. It saw determined miners pass this way seeking their fortune in gold from British Columbia. This forest supplied timber to build railroads and homes for families in the western migration. Our family is the current steward of this forest and it is our wish to respectfully share its beauty and observe its wildlife with your family and friends! Our Forest is surrounded by Kaniksu National Forest which is managed by the United States Forest Service (USFS) as part of the Idaho Panhandle. National Forest.. The Moyie River ( say Moy-yay) has headwaters at Moyie Lake in British Columbia and feeds into the Kootenai River (say Koo-ten-e) just East of Bonners Ferry. The Moyie River is 95 miles long. The area is private, so there is no view of the neighbors. You’ll have a broken view of the Host’s Cabin. Camp is situated on 15.4 acres of Certified Family Forest. If you hear the rumble of a train at night, it's because the Union Pacific passes along the opposite edge of the property from the campsites. There is no mobile phone service at the campsite .

Cedar Grove Riverside Tent Camp

Amazing stay!

This campsite was truly amazing. The river was stunning and the fire pit was where we stayed all weekend. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

Glamping in the woods

What a beautiful, section of Idaho. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the view, the campfire, & the pure peace of the area. There's acrostic quite a lot of areas to explore. Paul gives you a fabulous list of area lakes & hikes that we hope to take advantage of next time. The shower he had installed is the bomb; clean, warm & luxurious for the outdoors!

Cedar Grove Riverside Tent Camp

Beautiful, serene camping

I thoroughly enjoyed camping on Paul's land and was quite impressed with the beautiful views of the mountains and the river. Paul is a gracious host supplying wood, potable water and even a hot shower!! I will definitely be coming back again!

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

Threepeat Visit

This was our 3rd visit and the cabin site is even better! Usually you experience places deteriorating but not at the Iron Horse River Cabin. I loved the added bench swing over looking the river and the benches around the campfire are also very nice. I saw at the tent site there is now a children's jungle gym that would be lots of fun for the little ones too. The shower room is still clean and nicer than any campsite I've ever been to. I just love the location as it's a short distance to Copper Falls and all of the forest trails to explore with your ATV's. Thank you Paul for hosting us!
