Lochsa Lodge is a four-season lodge in the heart of wild Idaho! We have 19 different cabins to choose from, some rustic with no plumbing and some fully furnished with private bathroom.
The main lodge has a restaurant & tavern serving breakfast, lunch, & dinner daily. Open 365 days a year.
Something happens when you get way, way off the beaten path. Time gets a little slower. Your to-do lists go out the window. Out here, it’s just you and the Great Wild West, and this place is every bit as epic as the stories say. The stars are brighter, the rivers are wilder, the air is clearer, the snow is deeper. Heck, even the mountains seem higher. Before you know it, you’ll remember what it’s like to just be you, a little piece of this big earth.
You’ll get back to your true nature in no time.

We live on 48 acres out in the country, but we are only 12–15 minutes from the town of Orofino. We have five beautiful sleeper cabins (with TVs and mini splits), and a bathroom/shower house located 10–20 feet from the cabins. There is also a game area with horseshoes and an archery lane, as well as a timber-framed gazebo for gathering and relaxing.
The cabins sit on approximately 4–5 acres of the property.
We use these cabins for about nine months out of the year, so they are only available during the summer months of June, July, and August.
So welcome to your stay—we’re glad you’re here.
Each cabin offers a comfortable space to rest, while the shared outdoor areas give you room to gather, relax, and enjoy the surroundings.
This is a place where the sunrises and sunsets are incredible, the air feels different, and the pace naturally slows down.
It’s common to see wildlife throughout the property—deer, elk, and wild turkeys often pass through, especially in the early morning and evening. Keep an eye out and take it all in—it’s part of what makes this place special.
Whether you’re here to explore, fish, unwind, or spend time with your group, we hope you enjoy the space, the land, and the experience.
We currently have limited photos of the cabins due to weather conditions, but more will be updated in May. All five cabins have unique names and are themed after animals:
• Elk Meadows
• Bear Den
• Turkey Flats
• Cougar Basin
• Deer Ridge

This is a great spot. Only problem this is 4 hours north of Boise about an hour east of lowman 2hours west of Montana on us 12. In the mountains you know not In the high dessert of south idaho. But close to here is duck valley which is an Indian reservation. And Mountain View camp site is. Good spot on a lake. Check it out.

The hikes are great but long. You can take a shortcut which is awesome and fast but super steep and more advanced hiking!

A rather unique USFS campground, and not just because some (not all) sites have electricity. Many are HUGE. Some have as many as three tables, and even benches around a quite large firepit. Thus it's popular for family events and such.
Additionally, the sites are very private. Although within earshot of the highway, traffic is almost non existent after dark. Tons of historical trails and dirt roads nearby, and the Lochsa River and Lodge within a short walk.

A great campground, well maintained and very accessible. The best thing about Giant White Pine (in my opinion) is access to a network of well-built and maintained mountain bike trails that start at the campground. You could easily spend a weekend here riding trails during the day, and camping at night.
While trees screen the view of the nearby highway 6 visually, some sites are only about 20' from the highway, and even those furthest away are probably less than 200'. It's a beautiful area, but not as remote as many other sites in the panhandle.
