Weekend Trip to 7B Cabin
We've stayed at this cabin before and it's a beautiful building on a beautiful secluded piece of land - thoughtful touches throughout to make it feel like a home away from home. Will stay again!

Wylie was an amazing host! The property was easy to find, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Communication was quick and helpful, and Wylie made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The campsite itself was clean, quiet, and had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Would definitely stay here again — highly recommend Wylie’s place to anyone looking for a great Hipcamp experience!

Nathaniel's land is such a beautiful quiet location. This has been our second time going there and we absolutely love it! Nathaniel is easy to get ahold of too if there is ever any questions or concerns. We will definitely be staying here again. It is one of our favorites!

I loved camping on this piece of property! The camp sites were fantastic with a great view. The land is very well maintained and has small hikes through the property. There are amazing touches throughout the property that show the host loves the property. It was very quiet and felt remote. The trees and rock landscape on the property are beautiful. Things to know:
The road up is one way and fairly narrow. Move slowly and use a spotter if necessary. Also - the electric supply box is located a distance from the D spot, and is shared by C and D. You may need more electrical line to reach your camper, even in the C spot! It was a great site to camp in and the host was responsive on the app!

We absolutely loved our stay at Paradise on Mirror Lake! It’s a small, quiet campground with a ton of charm. The Bigfoot theme is awesome. Our boys had a blast following the Bigfoot trail. For a thrill, our boys even did the trail at night with flashlights, which made the experience that much more fun!
We stayed in Site C, which was beautiful, but definitely bring an RV extension cord since the hookups are a bit of a stretch.
If you’re looking for a laid-back place to unwind, explore, and maybe spot Bigfoot, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. The sites are clean, private and with a fire extinguisher and a water bucket on hand, safety is a must. I liked that! We did not use the fire pit as we came unprepared for that. We liked the enchanted forest and the walk to the beautiful mirror lake. The work put into this camp shows. I have already recommend this site to others. Well done on a beautiful campground!

2 nights at Paradise on Mirror Lake
This place is magical! The cabin is adorable and very cozy. There’s little lanterns in the trees which are a great touch at night. The water is super close and the fishing dock is wonderful to sit on while watching sunset. It was so quiet and peaceful.
The restroom was super clean and near by.
It’s a very well kept and beautiful location.

If you're needing a camp spot anywhere in the area - this is the one!
We've stayed at many hipcamps all over the country and I'd have to say that Rich's camp was the cleanest, nicest, and over all best one we've stayed at so far.
The site:
It was peaceful and surrounded by woods. Rich put a lot of thought into designing the layout and it absolutely shows.
We were far enough off the road (dirt and quiet) that the few cars that did pass were no issue at all. You can't even see the road from the situation your camper .
The gravel pad was perfectly level and didn't even require leveling blocks (a first for us). We had the place all to ourselves, except for the wild turkeys who would pass through occasionally.
The view of pines from every window was just so nice and relaxing. There was also a gazebo with picnic table provided that was fantastic. Clean, sturdy and very important - spider free!
Rich:
What a truly nice man! The world would be a better place if there were more people like Rich.
He reached out before check-in and gave us directions to the spot, eating recommendations for in town, activity ideas, and checked on us day of to see how our travel was going. He stopped by to ensure that we were doing ok during our stay, and stayed to chat for while. It was lovely.
Needless to say we would absolutely stay again.

Tessa went out of her way to make our stay amazing. From allowing flexibility of our arrival and departure times to renting us some camping gear so we didnt have to travel with it. Was a perfect visit!

1 night at Paradise on Mirror Lake
Beautiful site! I stayed at site A, and it's a cozy, tiny cabin, but the site itself felt like a ton of space. Clean, private, and on the lake! I saw a ton of wildlife too. And it's cheaper than most places would be for what you get. Will be going back sooner than later! Nathaniel was a great host too.
My only feedback would be to include signs to the garbage disposal. I tried to find it after dark and got lost even with the map (this may be user error so take it with a grain of salt).

Overview
About
Formerly a major training base used by the U.S. Navy during World War II, Farragut State Park is set on the southern end of Lake Pend Oreille in the Idaho Panhandle. This huge, 4,000-acre park offers hiking, mountain biking, boating, swimming, and more, and becomes a major cross-country ski and snowshoe destination in winter. Campers can choose between full hookup or basic sites and camping cabins at Farragut Campground. The Museum of the Brig is housed in one of the park’s few remaining military structures and is filled with memorabilia from the area’s past life as a military training center.

Tips for snagging a campsite
- Farragut State Park has over 200 campsites that can be reserved in advance, and reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends. The park also has cabins, group campgrounds, and equestrian sites.
- Reservations for campsites and camping cabins can be made up to nine months in advance online. Reservations must be made at last one day prior to arrival.
- Not all campsites can accommodate large RVs or trailers. Check each site’s driveway length when booking.

Limited camping spots are available in the winter months, when sites are first-come, first-served.

This is a BIG park with several campgrounds. I've stayed at both Whitetail and Snowberry and both are nice. Well run, clean and with lots of amenities from boat launching to mountain bike trails to equestrian areas. And not far from services in nearby towns, but far enough away for peace and quiet.
