    Lionhead Campground — Priest Lake State Park

    Fabulous Family Fun

    There are 3 campgrounds. One is a group camp that sells out quick. Reservations are 9 months in advance and it is a phone call of luck that will get you this prime area. The group camp has its own private dock and beach. The cabin has multiple bunk beds and a kitchen with fridge and range/oven. Also a microwave. 2 showers and 2 restrooms. There are RV slots available here. We love the privacy and ability to not worry about any unlocked vehicles or items left in the beach The other two sites are Lionhead and Indian Creek. Indian Creek as a store and laundry facilities. They also have a few cabins to rent. Showers and rv slots available. Lionhead is further up the road (just north of the group camp) and is a little smaller.

    Camp Coeur D Alene

    Tucked in the side of the mountain on the water

    Even though the sites are small and close together, they are at different levels as you go up the hill combined with the sites and cabins being tucked under the giant pines, gives you a sense of privacy. It's a really cute campground/resort. They offer tent area, Rv area and log cabins of various sizes. Pool. Boat launch with access to coeur d'Alene lake. Beautiful setting. Cell signal is good.

    Lionhead Campground — Priest Lake State Park

    Worked the State Park for a summer.

    I worked at Priest Lake State Park as a residential biologist for the summer of 2016. It was an amazing experience! I had access to parts of the park not allowed to campers. The staff are all very friendly and nice to work with. The hand- scooped homemade ice cream is worth it alone! Kayaking up the thoroughfare to the upper lake is a great workout with some amazing and beautiful scenery and animals along the way. You will see lots of moose, and sometimes black bears. If you take the short hike to Moose lake, there is excellent rainbow trout fishing, and gorgeous scenery as well. Hunt lake trail is a beautiful trail to hike, but not for beginners. Priest Lake itself is a little chilly when first getting in to swim, but is very refreshing in the mountain heat. There are many good places to pick huckleberries all over the area! The campgrounds at the Indian Creek unit, which is where the headquarters and store are located, are very clean. There are plenty of RV and tent camping sites and 5 cabins available to rent. All cabins sleep different numbers of people, ranging from 5 to 9, the moose cabin being the largest and nicest. The cabins have no bathrooms or kitchens but boast fire rings and are right across from communal park bathrooms and showers. The lion head unit on the upper lake is about 12 miles up the road from Indian Creek turning into gravel about 8 miles up right before moose lake. It has a few smaller camper sites and many tent sites available. There is a maintenance shed along with a small ranger booth which also serves as a small store with ice and other foods and small supplies. There are first aid kits and radios available at all campground ranger booths. Priest lake has amazing fishing for rainbow trout, Mackinaw (lake trout), smallmouth bass, and Pike minnow (as the main species). The nearest town, Coolin, UD, is about 12 miles down the road. It is a small town with a store, a diner and a bar/ restaurant. The diner and restaurant have decent staple foods for what they have to offer. The store is fairly small but generally has most of the foods and supplies needed for restocking your camping food or obtaining the odds and ends you may have forgotten or overlooked at home. All around it is a beautiful place to visit with friendly staff and locals and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable family camping experience.

    Waldron Campground — Farragut State Park

    Mostly a great campground

    Pros: most sites are large and well appointed with paved driveways and gravel pad for picnic table, fire pit, and tents if you have them. Water and electricity at site. Plenty of trails to walk. Three dump and water stations. Cons: check in is way too late (2 pm), they require you to check in at visitor center, and the parking lot is not large enough to accommodate all the rvs checking in at 2 pm. Other con is no campsites on the water. The shoreline is very scenic but the camp and surroundings not so much. Just overstocked young forest. Also our electric post was damaged so cord kept coming unhooked. Had to bungee cord it.

    Camp Coeur D Alene

    Everuthing was relaxed and easy

    We booked through Airbnb. when we arrived, we learned that the campground wa San old KOA. it had a decent shower room and we stayed in a small, clean cabin right by the entrance of the park. We also saw tent campers. You could take paddle boats out onto the lake if you wanted. We had a picnic table and an area for a fire. we all had a nice time.

    North Haven Campground

    Nice tent/RTT in back.

    I couldn’t book through Dyrt in app on the date. I called and booked with Munro on busy 4th weekend and got it done. A very nice stay on very loud 4th weekend of fireworks at Bonners Ferry(to be expected). Campsite with fire ring, wooded, picnic table was awesome. Bathhouse and facilities were very clean. Wood, icecream, laundry detergent, and more for sale at office/bathhouse. Definitely, stay again.

    North Haven Campground

    Awesome facility

    Modern and beautiful campground. Close to all the wonders of Idaho's panhandle. They have several back in and pull through sites with more on the way. Choice of full hookups, or water and electric. Their showers are emaculant and luxurious. Wife refused to use ours. They have luxury cabins and covered wagon glamping. Very family and senior friendly. Reasonably priced, can't loose booking here.

    Sedlmayer's Resort & Campground

    A great quiet campground on the lake front.

    My wife accidentally came across this private campground, which turned into a great stay. Located in northern Idaho and right on Spirit Lake, this campground has 31 RV sites that can accommodate various sizes of RVs. Every site has 20, 30& 50 amp electrical service however, only sites 1 through 21 have sewer. If you need a pull-through site, then go with #14 through#19, or#21.

    The campground has a lakeside restaurant, boat slips for campers, and a small general store. The area was well maintained and clean. There are numerous mature cedar trees providing shade and privacy throughout the campground. My only complaint is that only 5 fire pits are located throughout the campground. This campground seems to be a local known quiet gem worth checking out for family fun.

    Wolf Lodge Campground

    Lots of Activities

    Cute campground with plenty to do and lots of amenities. Canoe and float rentals, live music on weekends. Full hook ups, clean showers and laundry too. It was perfect for our quick stop over. Only downside was no fire rings.

Guide to Kootenai

Cabins near Kootenai, Idaho offer access to the Kootenai National Forest which spans over 2.2 million acres across the Idaho panhandle and northwestern Montana. Most rental cabins sit at elevations between 2,000-4,000 feet, creating cool summer evenings even when daytime temperatures reach into the 80s. Winter cabin stays often require snow vehicle access from December through March.

What to do

Water activities on Mirror Lake: Visitors staying at Mirror Lake: Bigfoot Campout can enjoy fishing, swimming and boating. One camper noted, "The dock is fantastic and the fishing is top notch. Electric hookups if you are a 'glamper'. Campsite A is the best but all sites are great."

Hiking nearby mountain trails: Many cabin locations provide access to forest service trails within 5-10 miles. At Lunch Peak Lookout, hikers find "a lovely hiking trail from the parking area as well which leads to even more spectacular views. Recommended for a day trip or overnight!"

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Northern Idaho cabins offer chances to see moose, black bears, eagles and other wildlife. At Lionhead Campground, visitors frequently spot wildlife along the thoroughfare to the upper lake. As one former park worker explained, "You will see lots of moose, and sometimes black bears."

What campers like

Privacy and peaceful settings: Many cabin locations offer secluded spots away from crowds. At Camp Coeur D Alene, campers appreciate the atmosphere, with one noting it was "super cozy and safe. They had firewood for sale, a pool, and clean showers and bathrooms. We had a very comfortable stay and were able to connect to the wifi at our tent site."

Lake access from campsites: Several cabin rentals provide direct lake access. At Blue Lake RV Resort, one visitor shared, "I got to do yoga by the lake at sunrise, not too buggy and I saw lots of turtles. We were just passing through so stayed for one night, but would have stayed longer if we had time!"

Helpful staff knowledge: Cabin visitors frequently mention staff assistance with local information. As one camper at Kootenai River Campground reported, "Owners were very accommodating and informative. Beautiful campground. Very clean and well kept."

What you should know

Seasonal availability varies: Most cabin rentals in the region operate from May through October, with limited winter availability. Thousand Trails Little Diamond has a specific season "from April 13 to October 1," according to their listing information.

Reservation timelines matter: Popular cabin sites require advance booking, especially for summer months. For Indian Creek Campground, reservations open 9 months in advance and fill quickly, particularly for group sites.

Amenity differences between properties: Cabin amenities vary significantly between locations. At Waldron Campground, "most sites are large and well appointed with paved driveways and gravel pad for picnic table, fire pit, and tents if you have them. Water and electricity at site."

Environmental factors to consider: Some cabin locations experience noise from nearby roads or trains. One Blue Lake visitor mentioned, "One of the major downsides was the campsite's unfortunate location between two railway lines. The constant sound of freight trains passing by throughout the day was quite disruptive."
