Sagle, ID · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
>>> Voted #1 Campground in Idaho 2022, 2024 & 2025 (Hipcamp Awards) <<<
Like a postcard photograph, Bigfoot Campout sits perched over Mirror Lake on one end of a mountain bowl. 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) and 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. The stocking is typically scheduled for the first week of June each year, so if you are an angler, it's best to come after June 7th for the best fishing.
Paying homage to the Bigfoot legend in northern Idaho, the theme of this campground is all things Sasquatch! Can you find all 9 Sasquatch hiding throughout the campground?
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).
When selecting your campsite, please take note of the following:
Best lake views: Sites A, C and D. (Sites 1, 2, 3, E and F have partially obstructed lake views due to trees.)
Easiest RV access: Site B. It's a pull-through site.
Most private: Sites A, B, 1, 2 and 3, or Sites C/D or E/F, when booked in pairs. (Do not book C/D or E/F for complete privacy unless you book them in pairs.)
Most shade: Sites A, E and F.
Sunniest: Sites B, C and D.
Electric access: Sites B, C and D. (C/D share a power pedestal.)
Nearest to a Port-a-Potty: Sites A, C, D, E and F.
Nearest to water tower (potable water): Sites C, D, E and F.
Nearest to lake: Site A.
Best for large parties: Book Sites C/D together for larger RV camping parties, or book Sites E/F together for moderate-sized tent camping parties.

Dover, ID · 1 site · Tent, RV
A unique Hipcamp location in a forest sanctuary for trees, animals, insects, reptiles and humans. Our property is located west of Sandpoint, ID near the "Happy Fork Gap" at the southern terminus of the Selkirk Crest. Our peaceful property is surrounded by thousands of acres of state and private land. We are located just 8 miles west of downtown. During the heat of summer it's a bit cooler up here thanks to tall trees and fresh mtn breezes. Come enjoy birdwatching or maybe see a moose and her babies cruise by. Fall asleep to the soothing sound of the creek while surrounded by forest. We have woodpeckers, owl, deer, turkey, frogs and more living around the property.
Our property has a colorful history. In the 80's a squatters cabin was erected on it until it met its demise by a legendary resident mtn man (RIP). It was once a logging camp long ago but nowadays it is a home for all living things and a 35+ yr old forest with an array of tree species such as cedar, larch, pines, hemlock, spruce and more. Artesian springs bubble up and into a year round creek which flows through.
Peace and quiet can be found here as well as good energy from your camp hosts. Come up the mountain and experience our North Idaho off-grid homestead.

Hope, ID · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Maverick Mountain Home is perched on a mountainside several hundred feet above picturesque Trestle Creek, a protected Kokanee Salmon and Bull Trout spawning habitat, two short but gorgeous miles up the road from Lake Pend Oreille. Our property is hidden within an epic cedar, fir and pine forest, bracketed by the Kaniksu National Forest to the east and conservation land to the west.
SPRING/SUMMER/FALL:
Spend the afternoon at the Trestle Creek on the eastern shore of Lake Pend Oreille, only two miles down the road (just off Highway 200), where you can launch your boat, swim at the beach, or paddle along the shore in your kayak or SUP.
Or, take an adventurous backcountry drive up Trestle Creek Road into the mountains of the Kaniksu National Forest where you can check out Lunch Peak Lookout, hike miles of pristine trails to one of the three nearby mountain lakes, explore several waterfalls, or drive the entire 35 mile backcountry loop down to the town of Clark Fork.
If quiet rest is what you seek, find a secluded spot next to one of creeks where you can hang a hammock and listen for that still small voice. Or read a book until the peaceful whispers of flowing water and breeze through the trees lulls you to sleep.
You'll be in for a special treat if you book your site during the annual Kokanee Salmon spawning season! The salmon run usually starts during the last week in August or first week in September and lasts through late September. There are a multitude of viewing locations along Trestle Creek to witness this yearly miracle and snap some amazing photos!
WINTER:
Bring your snow machines and take advantage of sled in/sled out access from your campsite to the Trestle Creek loop system, boasting spectacular backcountry terrain with 50+ miles of groomed trails and hundreds of thousands of off-trail acres to explore! On-site trailer parking adjacent to the road is available.
If skiing is your thing, Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is an easy (and gorgeous) 45 minute commute. Don't tell anyone, but Schweitzer Mountain is an absolute gem of a ski resort with 2,900 acres of gorgeous skiing terrain (and epic views) for all ages and skill levels. Our family spends a good bit of time skiing here.
Winter Driveway Access: a 4-wheel/all-wheel drive vehicle is required to climb our driveway during winter conditions.
OUR STORY:
We (Tim and Molly) spent 14 years raising our young family in the desert heat of north Phoenix. Every summer we went dispersed camping as many weekends as possible with our four (now five) children in the backcountry mountain ranges of northern Arizona. We watched our family grow stronger together and sibling relationships flourish as the mental and emotional grime of the city grind was slowly washed from our souls during idle morning hangouts, afternoon hiking adventures and evening stories and laughs around the campfire.
We had a particularly amazing mountaintop experience in 2014 backcountry camping over Labor Day Weekend where we felt a strong calling to share with others the blessings we were experiencing. Our hearts were impressed with a desire to host a place in the "wilderness" where people and families could escape and unwind from the noise and pace of city life for a few days and maybe even have a mountaintop experience of their own.
After several years of waiting for the right timing, we started exploring and found this place in January 2019. By April we had sold our home in Phoenix and moved our family 2,000 miles north to this 27 acre property on a mountain of Hope. We named it Maverick Mountain Home, which captures our love of the wilderness, our mission to care for the lost, and our desire to be unbranded by the world.
Upon landing here we immediately got to work preparing. We've spent the last five years working on hundreds of different projects, including: rehabilitating our driveway, beginning a long-term whole-house remodel, building a chicken coop, maintaining our driveway, fencing in a new orchard, chicken yard, and pig yard, planting trees, replacing a spring house, maintaining our driveway, installing underground infrastructure for future guest facilities, clearing trails, milling lumber, and maintaining our driveway.
In 2024 we dedicated a good portion of April and May to preparing our first HipCamp site, Living Water, which went live on our wedding anniversary at the end of May. We added our second site, Boondock Butte in July with plans for several more sites in coming years. Since the first booking on our opening weekend we've watched as that line from "Field of Dreams" came true in our "backyard" - we built it and they started coming.
Welcome to Maverick Mountain Home, Intrepid Camper! It is a huge blessing for us to share this amazing place with you.

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 no longer off grid, but if the power does go out, it's a great place to be.. 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!

Looking for the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature? Our private 30-acre mountain property offers a peaceful, off-grid camping experience just an hour north of Spokane and only 20 minutes from the highway — yet it feels like a world away.
We’ve created a couple of quiet, spacious campsites nestled among the trees, each with its own private porta-potty for added convenience. This is true backcountry camping, so be sure to bring your own water and pack out what you pack in.
Endless adventure awaits just outside your tent: hike, hunt, or explore miles of scenic logging roads by foot, mountain bike, or E-bike. Despite the remote feel, cell service is strong so you can easily access trail maps and plan your next outing.
More campsites and even a cozy rental cabin are coming soon! Whether you're seeking solitude or an active outdoor getaway, this is the ideal basecamp for your mountain escape.

Lovely camp ground. It’s small, private, and very clean/ organized! There are nice details throughout.
Also it is easy to find and close enough to town if you need anything. The host was also super helpful and kind, as well!

Wow! This place was amazing. We had a blast while staying here and it had anything we could need. A well kept outhouse, water, a fire pit, and even wood! I would recommend this place to anyone staying in athol!

I loved camping here. The tent pad was spacious and flat. There is plenty of space in between the camp spaces. I liked that it is shaded but still gets sunlight as well. My kiddo really loved the smokeless fire pit.
Definitely will come back in the future.

Weekend Trip to Wee Place in the Woods
We had the most pleasant stay yet at A Wee Place in the Woods. We did plenty of crafting, fire making, outdoor cooking, walking, and snoozing! We again reserved the Raven’s Nest this year. It’s perfect for our small family and the closest nest to the magically cool outdoor kitchen and adorable bathroom. Yes, it’s adorable 😆 I think all of A Wee Place is aesthetically pleasing. As usual, our host was simply wonderful! 💙

Camp site was excellent. We rented out the entire site for my large family and everyone was comfortable and the site was very accommodating for all of us. We were able to have a nice common area along with having our own private little camping spots spread throughout the area. The lake was fantastic. We brought our paddle boards and kayaks and had a great time at the water . We will def consider rebooking in the future!

Lakeview Majesty is tucked away with an awesome view of the lake and a big meadow with horses. The camp grounds are well laid out and it's the perfect getaway to just chill or a solid base camp to drive into Sandpoint or to trails nearby. The bathroom is nice with hot water and Albert's a good dude. Will be back :)

Tent camping here was so fun! The site we had was beautiful and well laid out, it was far enough away from the main road that you couldn’t hear any cars and we could hear the creek at night! The second campsite was empty while we were there but it is far enough away that I am sure if people had been staying there we wouldn’t have heard them!
The directions into the site were clear and made the spot super easy to find! The owners came down and brought us fresh water from the spring house and were super friendly and inviting!
I will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Beautiful weather, quiet and clean. The expectation of dragging buckets of water from the lake up a steep hill to have for fire prevention is unreasonable for older campers. I may be from the east coast but I wonder why you would have dried wood chips as a filler around a campfire when they could easily catch fire. We rented both sites as a group and there is no way for a class C motorhome to fit in the C site. Luckily we had a 50 amp pigtail because there was only one 30 amp plug in on the shared electric post. Lovely site if you’re looking for a short getaway.

Nathaniel is great! He answered all questions in a timely manner. He helped me fix my mistake when I only booked one night instead of 2. He was super great and the campsites are really cool and very primitive. Perfect for taking in nature.
