Best Cabin Camping near Princeton, ID

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.

Quick visit stayed here In order to explore coeur d Alene. On the lake and surrounded by mountains. Cabins, RV, tents sites available. Literally Something for everyone here. I like more off the beaten path camp grounds myself. Still you can't win the all. Our dog had a blast with our camp neighbors that made it. Dog friendly. Would stay here again.

Freeman Creek at Dworshak State park has great opportunity for all levels of camping. Tent sites, RV/Trailer sites, or a few small primitive cabins (no bathrooms or kitchens in the cabins). There is also access to the reservoir for boating, fishing or to mini-camp sites all along the reservoir. Kokanee fishing is great from March to about late July. The spawn begins in August, so the fish move up the reservoir as the season progresses. Smallmouth bass fishing is great! The Idaho state Smallmouth record was caught in this lake. Day use parking is available for a small fee. For Idaho residents with the State Parks pass reduces the fee. A lot of wildlife viewing too! If you are lucky you may see a black bear feeding on blackberries, deer are numerous, elk frequent the lake, and one of my favorites is to watch Osprey dive in the lake for fish.

I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October.

We stayed in a cabin for two nights in late June 2021 and had an awesome time! Lots of great tent and RV campsites in a nicely maintained park! They have ONE handicapped cabin and 3 regular! Bathrooms are pit style but kept very clean!

Our group stayed in the cabin, but hoping to come back for tent camping in warmer months

The actual location and grounds are amazing. Right on the Snake river. So much walking and fishing. And swimming. Kayaking. Even cat fishing. The tents sites are very crammed next to each other though. The cabins are cute and small. No bathrooms in them but there are Public bathrooms and showers. Very busy on major holidays in the summer.

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.

Friendly & knowledgeable staff, clean and well organized sites, fair amount of trees and bushes for reasonable “campground privacy” (tent-only spots have less privacy than sites with electricity and water), Lake CDA super close by (many sites with great views, paved trail that extends many miles for bikers and runners, cabins available (reservations), not fancy, but CLEAN BATHROOMS that are WARM and have no-coin HOT SHOWERS. FYI: Does not have restaurant, but who needs one camping??? P.S. Reasonably priced.

Spent the night at the Heyburn Campground tenting with friends. Nice campground and facilities. Everything seemed to be maintained and kept clean. The best part of the campground was the accessibility to the lake. It was maybe a little over a quarter-mile walk from our campground to the path that goes along the lake but its work the walk. The path offers great views of Lake Cour d'Alene and my friends and I took a short swim. Overall great time and would recommend it for people looking to get away for the weekend.

Stayed here many times and will go back again it is a great place to go and it's not far to travel to from orofino idaho for an inexpensive camp trip

Very friendly staff that keeps the facilities clean. Full hookups with lots of pull through spaces if needed. We fully utilized the bike path along the river each day for nice long rides into Idaho and back to Washington. Would stay again.

Upon arrival, we immediately felt the peacefulness. Our site was tucked into the pines creating a canopy of coolness in the midst of the oppressing heat of this record breaking year.

The sites are somewhat level. Easily adjusted to make them work. The space between sites are not as generously spaced as with othe Idaho SP we have stayed in. There are vault toilets throughout the campground with one building that houses flush toilets and 2 shower stalls. They are older but squeaky clean.

There's a great day use area that has a large covered pavilion, playground and boat launch/ pier. I don't fish, but loaner poles are available at the visitor center. The boat launch is further around the lake and provides ample parking and a vault toilet. No motorized watercraft are allowed on the lake which makes it a wonderful place to kayak and SUP.

There are a few trails around the lake. Nothing hard. There are tons of thimbleberries bushes along the road yo the boat launch and were just about ripe. They are so delicious!

Enjoying the peace and quiet of the SP should be your expectation as there is not a lot of other options nearby.

2 bars AT&T LTE

Pro note: Wolf Track micro brewery is about 30 min. away in Cottonwood. Good beer. Also, stop at the Bark Park just as you enter the town of Cottonwood. You'll understand once you visit.

This park is very attractive. It appears to be well maintained and cleaned.

BUT... Do not tent camp here. I will admit I was hoping to hammock camp (I bring a tent too in case), and it was clear it would not be a camping environment.

And, if you are an RV camper, there’s no spot to really hang outside. There’s no fire pits or tables on the sites.

Stayed here several times, always well-kept, memorable, and have met some fantastic people!

We had an amazing time here. Had a great time hiking and walking along the lake. I just wish the weather was better!

Don’t get me wrong, this place was great for one night but the lack of privacy and tent spots right on top of each other is not going to make you feel like you’ve escaped to the wilderness.

Typical fire pits. Nice bathrooms and showers Firewood for sale on site Nice little hiking trail

Absolutely beautiful campsite with great views of the lake and a nice little fire pit. Campsite was in in view of other sites but still felt private. Stayed on a Friday night and all campsites were in use, so would definitely recommend reserving in advance. The lake is an absolute stunner.

Beautiful campgrounds! We biked on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed the beach at Rocky Point. We Definitely will camp here again!!

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.

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.

I wish we had more time to spend at this campground. It was a bit off the beaten path but worth it. It is also situated right by a lake, but did not see any direct access to the lake from the campground. There were clean restrooms here and showers. There is also a visitor center to purchase items but they were closed by the time we rolled in. They were open in the morning, roughly around 8. Would like to go back and stay a couple of nights in the future. There was a no burn order in place, or site was nice and secluded.

Our stay here was very satisfying. Plenty of hiking to do. Plenty of places to stay. If you are into biking, it is located at the beginning of the Trail of the Coeur d'alenes, a 72 mile paved trail. The Chatcolet campground is only feet from the side of the trail. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time and leave plenty of time to explore.

First, let me say, there are 3 different campgrounds in this state park. Hawleys Landing, Chatcolat and Benewah. Harleys is our favorite, as the Trails of the Coeur d'Alene (famous rails to trails) is about one mile from the campground. Just a short walk brings you to the boat dock.. if you like to Kayak or SUP, you will love the water trail through the marsh of reeds and lily pads. Trust me.. it's magical. We didn't hike. But there is a couple of easy ones..

It is a very popular campground. We were fortunate to check just as someone canceled reservations and so were able to stay for 6 days in 2 different sites.

Speaking of sites, just know that they are not level. Bring blocks to run up on and you'll be fine. That and close sites were the only reason for 4 stars.

Chotcolat campground is about 2.5 miles, 5 minutes, away from the ranger station. There is close access to the bike trail and 2 options for boat launching in the area. It is shaded.

Benewah is tents and RVs, but about 15 min. from the ranger station and the other 2 campgrounds. It does not have access to the biking trail. The boat launch is at a weird angle so you might have to park down the road at Rocky Point. Not as convenient.

At&T service spotty at best in Hawleys Landing. None at the other 2 campgrounds.
