      CampCDA

      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.

      By the Way Campground

      Great Stay, Wonderful Managers.

      Our family had a great one night stay. It was very last minute but they had a tent spot available. They do have around fifteen RV spots a few small cabins, and a handful of tent spots. The tent spots are around the perimeter of a gazebo that had electric hookup. They have four total restrooms, two of those have showers, and they have a laundry facility available as well. Everything was clean and we'll kept! Planning on staying again!

      The Sanctuary Campground

      BEST VIEWS AND HOT SHOWERS!

      The have lots of campsites, group sites, small cabins, and big cabins!  We rented a big cabin for the 6 of us!

      They have restrooms with hot showers! There were lots hiking trails and ATV riding trails!

      The views looking at the Rocky Mountains were breath taking!  There was a community area where we could hang out and have a bonfire!

      And the price was so reasonable!

      Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

      Great Campground but loud maintenance

      We stayed at Chatcolet campground for two nights in late June. The campground is really nice with lovely hosts and clean flushable toilets. We booked site 128 and didn’t realise it was a tent only site with a short walk from where you park to the picnic table, fire ring and tent pad. We have a rooftop tent so we parked and set up our tent and then just carried our chairs, food and wood down to the picnic table. Privacy on these sites isn’t the best, I would recommend booking this site along with 129 as a group site to give yourself good privacy.

      Overall this campground was great, the toilets were clean, they are porcelain, flushing toilets inside a hut. There was drinking water and some nice walks to the lake, if you have bicycles there is a really nice cycle that you can do. The reason for rating this 3 out of 5 is that there was very noisy and intrusive maintenance going on from 7am to 5pm in the sites next to us which was very disruptive. No warning had been given about maintenance in the campground, notice was only given regarding roadworks leading into the campground.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      CampCDA

      Perfect spot after long time on the road

      CDA (Camp Couer d’Alene) is really pretty awesome. After a few nights at more rugged campgrounds - this place was great. Friendly staff and a few spots to choose from prior to the holiday weekend were a bonus. $41.04 for a tent spot isn’t cheap; but lots of amenities: free canoe use, free firewood, hot showers, and some common areas (not real common due to Covid) including a small pool.

      Chatcolet Campground — Heyburn State Park

      2025 Aug Review

      Campground is super clean, flushable toilets, metal picnic tables, fire rings all in good shape. Spots are fairly close so you can see your neighbors but there are trees and brush which helps. Frequented by young families so don’t be annoyed by kids having a good time on their bikes or playing. Camp spot 123 was right next to the Camp Host spot but that wasn’t a bad thing at all.


    Guide to Mullan

    Cabin rentals near Mullan, Idaho provide rustic accommodations within the scenic Bitterroot Mountain range at elevations around 3,000-4,000 feet. Most cabin options sit along river corridors or forested areas with seasonal access limitations between May and October. Winter access becomes challenging for many locations due to snow conditions.

    What to do

    Paddle on Lake Coeur d'Alene: Camp Coeur D'Alene offers lake access with watercraft rentals. A camper noted, "We took the paddle boat our for a sunset cruise and it was a very memorable experience!" The lake provides calm water conditions ideal for beginners, with boat rentals available directly from the campground.

    Hike nearby trails: Multiple cabin rentals connect to trail systems. A visitor at Nugget RV Resort mentioned, "The hiking trails on site were fun and also the FS trails nearby are great as well." Most trails range from 1-5 miles in length with moderate elevation gains.

    Fish the Clark Fork River: Cabins near Thompson Falls offer direct river access. According to one camper, Rimrock Lodge RV Park has "a hill overlooking the river" with "a public boat launch" nearby, perfect for fishing access. Early morning and evening hours typically yield better fishing results.

    What campers like

    Privacy levels vary: Some locations offer more seclusion than others. A Cabins by the Joe visitor observed, "There are cabins that are closely nestled next to a shallow and clear river. We checked this place out on a week long exploration of the area, but decided it was not backcountry enough for our liking."

    Budget-friendly options: Multiple cabin campgrounds keep costs reasonable. At Trout Creek Motel & RV Park, a reviewer appreciated that "The prices are well below the competition" with "long, pull through RV sites that are over 80 feet long" alongside cabin options.

    Clean facilities: Most cabin rentals maintain good cleanliness standards. At Hawleys Landing Campground, a camper praised "clean restrooms here and showers" and noted the visitor center opens "roughly around 8" for purchasing supplies.

    What you should know

    Stores and supplies: Plan ahead for remote cabin stays. A Cabins by the Joe visitor warned, "It is a ways out and you better bring every thing you need because there aren't any stores close. They do have ice, on site."

    Wildlife encounters: Many cabins sit in areas with active wildlife. At By the Way Campground, visitors were "warned a Moose family likes to walk through" and another confirmed seeing "a small herd of deer welcomed us at the entrance."

    Noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience transportation noise. A reviewer at By the Way Campground noted, "Your right next to freeway very noisy. The AC couldn't drown out the traffic noise. Wore earplugs." Similarly, at Nugget Resort, a guest mentioned "train echos pretty good through the canyon."

    Tips for camping with families

    Recreation amenities: Nugget RV Resort offers extensive family activities. A visitor shared, "Great place to stay if your in the St. Regis area. You don't have to leave the campground if you don't want to with tons of great activities." Another added, "It has a pool and everything you need. Internet is fast too."

    Lake activities with kids: Hawleys Landing Campground offers multiple family-friendly water options. A visitor shared, "The Trail of the Coeur D'Alene runs through this campground. Biking the 7 mile ride to Harrison is a great way to spend the day, you cross the lake over a bridge, watching eagles swoop over the lake as you ride."

    Spacious cabin options: For families needing room to spread out, look for larger units. At Camp Squatch, cabins are described as "clean, cozy, quiet and literally 5 minutes to town & 1/4 mile to boat launch."

    Tips from RVers

    Accessibility challenges: Some cabin locations have tight access roads. At Trout Creek Motel & RV Park, an RVer warned, "The office area and road to get to rv park were way to tight for our 40 ft fight wheel."

    Seasonal considerations: Many RV parks with cabins operate seasonally. Camp Coeur D'Alene typically runs "May 20 to Sep 15" while others like By the Way Campground operate "All year" for those needing off-season accommodations.

    Hookup variations: Cabins at most campgrounds offer different utility setups. Avery Creek Cabin provides electric hookups but no running water, while cabins at Nugget RV Resort have "plenty of spots to choose from" with varying hookup configurations.
