Best Cabin Camping near Bancroft, ID

108 Reviews

Cabin accommodation options near Bancroft, Idaho include several properties within the Lava Hot Springs area. Lava Hot Springs East KOA, Lava Campground, Bristol Park Historic Cabins, and Lava Hot Springs Spa Motel & RV Park all offer cabin rentals with varying amenities. Most cabins feature electricity and basic furnishings, while some include picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor dining. The Bristol Park Historic Cabins provide a unique experience with historic miners' cabins that include access to a full kitchen and bathroom facilities. According to one visitor, "Bristol Park is an amazing stay in an incredibly historic and rustic piece of Lava Hot Springs. The hosts were very generous and made us a french toast breakfast in the morning!"

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lava Hot Springs East KOA offers traditional KOA-style cabins with reliable amenities and pet-friendly options, though additional pet fees apply. A camper noted, "They charge $20 per dog per night which added $120 to our 2-night stay." Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when Lava Hot Springs becomes popular for its natural hot pools and river activities. Pebble Guard Station near Pocatello and Malad Summit Guard Station offer more remote cabin experiences with fewer amenities but greater seclusion.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - KOA cabins typically offer more amenities than forest service guard stations. On-site camp stores at locations like Lava Hot Springs East KOA provide basic supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. "They do have quite a large store if you are staying nearby and need to stock up on things," commented one visitor. Guests staying at cabins near Lava Hot Springs benefit from proximity to town amenities, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance of the campgrounds.

    Downata Hot Springs

    Great place to stay in the winter

    Cold winter months and you need to get away? Wow we rented a cabin three times this last winter. Great little cabins with bathrooms the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides. There is RV and tent sites as well as group sites and 3 small cabins, 3 medium cabins and three large cabins/houses. They also have several yurts. This year they also have covered wagons you can stay in(cute idea on a tent cabin). The staff is friendly and courteous. There is a small cafe and store. There is a restaurant that has a great sirloin dinner if you call ahead to make dinner reservations. Over all a great place to camp summer or winter.

    Wolf Den RV Park

    Small, very clean campground

    Meticulously cared for family owned and run campground with log cabins. Many pros to this campground... Nice wide sites, most pull through, clean showers and laundry room. The people who run it are super friendly and helpful. Great liquor store and great food truck attached to the grounds. great hook ups, reception and even better WiFi. Only cons are that it is just off Hwy 89, but you don't hear road noise at night. No dog park and is over an hour to Grand Teton and Jackson Hole. We did find great hiking only a few minutes from the campground. We would definitely recommend this place. The owners are constantly out doing improvements, which impressed us a great deal

    2nd Cabin Only Bigger

    We had returned but had got a cabin with a loft. There are only 3 loft cabins. They are super cozy, and come with a full kitchen. The loft above had 2 twin beds, the main floor had a full size bed, futon, closet, full kitchen and a bathroom with both shower and tub. Close walking distance to the hot pools and restaurant. The 3 of us were comfortable and not felt like we were in a tiny space.

    Family fun

    The people, bathrooms, and showers are all awesome. There is some road noise but not more than you’d get anywhere else. LOTS of shade, right next to the river, pet friendly, and cabins are also able to be rented! Would definitely come here again.

    Egan Basin Guard Station

    Peaceful, Remote and Beautiful

    For $30 a night this camping site is a real deal! The site is well maintained, and the A-frame cabin on the site was perfect for our family of 5. The cabin and campsite has no electricity and no water, so you need to pack it all in. Its nice to have a chance to get away from technology and enjoy the outdoors. It is about an hour + to get somewhere where you can get water or other supplies, so you will need to plan accordingly.

    Pros: remote, peaceful, quiet. Some nice trails nearby for hiking and mountain biking and ATVs. Also there is a stream that runs along the road to the cabin that is available for fishing. Also, although there are other campsites along the road to the guard station, once at the cabin (about 1/4 off the main forest road), you don't even know there are other people around.

    Cons: When we were there LOTS of mosquitos, the forest service road to the guard station gate is a little rough in some places. For those without AWD or 4WD might have a hard time in places.

    Lava Hot Springs East KOA

    T1 Campsite is A Hidden Oasis

    We had scouted T1 campsite at the KOA Holiday in Lava Hot Springs. This campground runs along the creek and is directly across from Mary’s Campground. Site T1 is for a family of 2 maybe 3 but it’s large enough for 2 medium size tents and 1 large one and our canopy. The site itself is surrounded by water and even has a small water fall that you could sit in as if it were a small hot tub size. This KOA is clean and friendly staff. They do have a store for some basic supplies and sell firewood. Not only are there tent sites but also have RV sites, cabins camp and large family size cabins. They have bathrooms/showers and a large playground for young kids. This KOA is within walking distance to Lava Hot Springs Main Street which has places to eat, hot pools, stores, ice cream place and more. Definitely would stay at this KOA again and again.

    Pocatello KOA

    Good for a quick stay

    Campsites are a little close with no privacy and there are no sewer connections at the individual sites. There are two dump sites on the backside of the store. Pretty much gravel throughout with some grass at the smaller sites. Amenities: kids playground area with grass, a small fenced dog park, horseshoes, picnic table at each site (no fire pits at the pull through sites). Inside the store: pool table, table tennis, and a foosball table. Overall a good clean campsite to hold you over for a day or two.

    Diamond Creek Guard Station

    Peaceful retreat

    I loved staying at the guard station! There is a spot to hang your hammock. You can relax by the fire pit or read a book on one of the two picnic tables provided.

    Make sure to bring your own water.

    Wolf Den RV Park

    Small Campground with Big Personality

    We were traveling from the snow in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and wanted to find a place close by with warmer temps.   Found this campground on google search.  Has a total of 14 RV sites, all full hook ups with a picnic table,  some tent sites and about a dozen cabins.  RV sites are gravel and very level.  There is a playground and picnic area.  There is a shower house and a laundry.   The office has ice and some supplies.  There is a package store in the front and the town of Alpine is about 10 miles away.   The campground is very well kept and the owner is very helpful.   Great view of the mountains from any site and in all directions.
