Best Cabin Camping near Boise, ID
Several cabin options exist within a short drive of Boise, each offering different levels of rustic or comfortable accommodations. Rivers Edge RV Park provides riverside cabins with basic amenities including hot plates, sinks, and microwaves, though guests need to bring their own bedding and kitchen supplies. According to one visitor, "If you stay in the cabins, just a note that this is a place where you need to bring your own bedding and kitchen items, however there is a hot plate and sink, plus a microwave." Trinity View Resort (formerly Fort Running Bear) features cabin rentals alongside other accommodations in a wooded setting approximately 23 miles north of Mountain Home, described by a camper as "an oasis of trees in the middle of sage brush."
Rustic cabin rentals are available at Deadwood Lookout Recreation Cabin, which provides drinking water, firewood, and toilet facilities but no electricity or showers. Barber Flat Cabin offers more primitive accommodations with water hookups and sewer facilities but lacks drinking water and electricity. Country Corners Campground and Boise Riverside RV Park both maintain cabin options with full amenities including electricity, running water, and nearby restroom facilities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited.
Cabin guests should prepare to bring personal items like bedding, pillows, and toiletries as these are rarely provided. One camper noted the rustic nature of some accommodations, mentioning that "the ladder steps up to the bedroom was an adventure in itself." Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations—some offering only basic microwaves while others provide hot plates and sinks. Many cabins have outdoor picnic tables and fire rings for cooking and dining. Several campgrounds maintain on-site markets or stores where basic provisions can be purchased, though selection is typically limited to essentials. For more extensive grocery needs, Boise offers full-service supermarkets approximately 30-45 minutes from most cabin locations.
