    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several cabin options exist near Murray, Idaho, ranging from basic to fully furnished accommodations. By the Way Campground offers cabins with electric hookups, picnic tables, and restroom access. Camp Coeur D Alene provides similar amenities with the addition of showers, trash service, and water hookups. Most cabins feature beds for 2-4 people, heating, and basic furniture. Cabin guests typically have access to shared bathroom facilities rather than private restrooms. "The cabins are clean and comfy with very friendly management," according to one camper.

Gem Peak Lookout Rental offers a historic lookout cabin on 30-foot stilts with beds for two people and firewood provided by the local USFS. Little Guard Lookout provides a more remote cabin experience. Avery Creek Cabin includes electricity and picnic tables but requires reservations. Most cabins allow pets, though policies vary by property. One visitor mentioned, "We loved our visit here. The camp hosts are wonderful and met us when we arrived."

Cabin by the Joe provides ice on-site, but as one guest noted, "It is a ways out and you better bring everything you need because there aren't any stores close." Basic cooking equipment is sometimes provided, though availability varies by location. Firewood is supplied at some properties like Gem Peak Lookout and Camp Coeur D Alene. Cabins at Trout Creek Motel & RV Park offer proximity to gift shops, laundry facilities, and stores with fresh produce and essentials, making it a convenient option for those needing supplies.

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

      Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

      Weekend Camping in Heyburn

      The experience was overall pretty fun. Rolled in on a Saturday, packed up on a Monday and had no issue with crowds the entire time. We spent some time at the lake, which was a short but steep trail away from the campsite. The trees offered some great shade+privacy and there were some spectacular views from the campsite. Our first night we watched someone setting off fireworks from across the lake and thought it was awesome (hopefully they were being responsible). The only thing that was actually disappointing was the lack of space around the fire pit to put our chairs. The awkward slope around the fire pit made it difficult and frustrating to cook and enjoy a nice campfire. If possible I would check google earth before selecting a campsite here. Regardless, I like how quiet and clean this park was and would definitely come visit again.


    Guide to Murray

    Cabin accommodations near Murray, Idaho range from rustic fire lookouts to modern amenities. Located in the Silver Valley region of northern Idaho at approximately 2,300 feet elevation, the area experiences distinct seasons with snowy winters and mild summers. Cabins serve as popular alternatives to tent camping, particularly during the region's unpredictable spring and fall weather patterns.

    What to do

    Waterfront activities: At Camp Coeur D Alene, visitors can enjoy lake access with kayak and paddleboat rentals. "This campground was super cozy and safe. They had firewood for sale, a pool, and clean showers and bathrooms," notes one camper who appreciated the amenities while still enjoying outdoor recreation.

    Hiking trails: Multiple cabin locations provide access to nearby trail systems. One camper staying at Cabins by the Joe mentioned: "There's tons of wildlife and beautiful drives and walks to be experienced here." The area offers both easy walks and more challenging wilderness hikes.

    Local attractions: Some cabins serve as convenient basebases for exploring surrounding areas. A visitor to Trout Creek mentioned: "I found plenty of time to just chill while looking for a more long term spot. I did laundry at the lakeside laundry mat for less than $5 got some honey and chocolate at the gift shop, some fresh produce and essentials at the Sinclair station."

    What campers like

    Unique structures: The historic Gem Peak Lookout Rental offers a distinctive cabin experience. One visitor described it as "worth the drive - no hiking involved. It sits on 30 foot stilts and is stocked with plenty of firewood by the local USFS. Beautiful views of the entire Sanders County and the Clarkfork River."

    Wildlife viewing: Several cabin properties feature regular wildlife sightings. A camper at By the Way Campground noted: "Was warned a Moose family likes to walk through, but didn't see them." The small campground offers both cabins and tent sites in a park-like setting.

    Water features: Proximity to lakes and rivers ranks highly among camper preferences. At Heyburn State Park, campers appreciate the lake access: "Beautiful campgrounds! We biked on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed the beach at Rocky Point."

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Many cabins in the area operate seasonally. Camp Coeur D Alene runs from "May 20 to Sep 15" according to their listing, while others may close during winter months due to snow conditions.

    Noise factors: Some cabins near highways experience traffic noise. One camper staying at Trout Creek Motel & RV Park mentioned: "Is a little close to highway and there are trains all night, but the whole valley is like that. Tall trees on site nice and shady."

    Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking. Avery Creek Cabin lists reservations as mandatory, and availability can be limited during peak summer months.

    Supply planning: Limited services near some cabins require advance planning. A Cabins by the Joe visitor cautioned: "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."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several cabin locations offer family-focused features. A visitor to Camp Coeur D Alene simply stated: "Very friendly. Great facilities!" when describing their family experience at the property.

    Multi-activity sites: Look for cabins with diverse recreation options for different ages. One camper at Camp Squatch described it as a "Beautiful hideaway!" that provided both basic camping and comfortable accommodations.

    Tips from RVers

    Site configurations: RV travelers note the importance of checking site dimensions. One RVer at Trout Creek Motel & RV Park appreciated the "Long, pull through RV sites that are over 80 feet long" that accommodate larger rigs.

    Hookup options: Cabin properties with RV sites typically offer varying levels of services. A Camp Coeur D Alene visitor noted: "Clean campground our site worked great for our Sprinter van. Site is crowded for larger pull through but it appeared to work for the campers."

    Off-season benefits: Some cabin and RV properties offer year-round accessibility. Rimrock Lodge RV Park provides full hookups with proximity to town and local trail systems, making it suitable for shoulder season visits when many other facilities close.
