Best Cabin Camping near Rexburg, ID

Squirrel Meadows Cabin in WY is a lot of fun, and great for a family. The cabin is pretty awesome, although there is no electricity- but that didn't really bother my family and I. Were did a ton of outdoor activities, that we really weren't inside the cabin a whole lot. The cabin is about 25 miles from Ashton, ID in a beautiful forest area. The cabin is surrounded by trees, and you do see quite a bit of wildlife. The fee to rent the cabin is $40 a night, which is not bad considering what you would pay for a hotel a night. The cabin does fit 6, although we had 5 people in our group and that seemed like plenty (6 might be a little crowded, but would still work!). We did a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking and also picked some really good berries. There was honestly something for everyone to do, which made the stay here nice. The cabin does provide bunk beds- not the most comfortable so I would suggest bringing some type of air mattress or camping pad to put down on the bed. It does have a wood stove, table, chairs, dishes, and pots. I would also suggest bringing your own garbage bags because the place does not provide this. We didn't bring any, and had to drive to the nearest town to get some. You do want to pack out your own garbage, because we later found out that you will get charged extra if you don't. You also want to put away any food you have outside because there are bears- we left a garbage bag outside and in the morning it was open and trash was everywhere! I would recommend staying here, and cant wait to come back with my family.

We needed a place to stay in our van for a few nights on our way to Grand Tetons. The owners were very friendly and helpful, Randy even brought us a picnic table for our spot. It was so nice to have a hot shower for a change. The bathhouse/restroom was very clean. There is laundry on site, which was a major plus for us. Cell service is great, and WiFi is provided. They also have large RV/camper spots, tent spots, and cabins. There’s a play area for children too. We are so grateful for them having us at their campsite, and if we are in the area again we will be back!

In Swan Valley the name of the game is fly fishing. This small campground is also a fly fishing outfitter and shop. While l was just passing through and I am not a fisherwoman, it seemed to offer pretty good services if that is your thing. I pulled in after hours but fortunately the owner’s dog alerted her to my presence and she was willing to open the office to rent me a tent site for the evening. There are 3ish tent sites(one was being worked on), about a half dozen pull thru RV sites, and 3 or 4 cabins for rent. There is a central bathhouse with two full bathrooms in a trailer for everyone to share. The bathhouse rooms are electronically accessed with codes the host gives you on check in. They were really nice and clean, like bathrooms in a typical modern home, except that one had the water heater tank in it and both had space heaters on the floor to plug in(fire hazard??). The tent site I chose was at the back of the campground so I didn’t have much highway noise, and fell asleep to the sound of the nearby horses grazing. Next door on the other side is a municipal building that appears to be the home base for the sheriff. The view of the back of the office/fly shop is not very picturesque, with boats and atv’s and odds and ends laying about. There are nice trees providing shade, but there is no real privacy between sites, tents, or cabins. The grass was quite lush, so I am wondering when the sprinkler system comes on. This place works as a layover or for someone who will take advantage of the fly fishing services, but not much else.
