Best Cabin Camping near Santa, ID

Several cabin rentals near Santa, Idaho offer varied accommodations within scenic lakeside settings. Heyburn State Park features simple cabins at both Hawleys Landing and Chatcolet campgrounds along Lake Coeur d'Alene. Camp Coeur D'Alene provides log cabins of various sizes set among pine trees with access to lake activities and swimming facilities. The cabins are equipped with electricity and basic furnishings, while some include partial kitchens and air conditioning. Wolf Lodge Campground and By the Way Campground both maintain cabin rentals with picnic tables and fire rings. "The cabins were great and had everything you needed to get by," noted a visitor who stayed at the Spokane KOA cabins.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Spokane KOA Journey offers deluxe cabins with partial kitchens, air conditioning, and full bathrooms, though some visitors mention the furnishings can be dated. Liberty Lake Regional Park cabins provide a more natural setting with access to hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities. Bald Mountain Lookout represents one of the more remote cabin options in the region. Most cabins allow pets, though policies vary by campground. A camper wrote: "We stayed at tent site 10 and it has been perfect. The tent sites and cabins were the best in the park."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. "Linens and bath towels included in deluxe cabins would be a huge plus," noted one reviewer about the Spokane KOA cabins. Basic cooking facilities are provided at some locations, while others offer only outdoor fire rings with grates for meal preparation. Several campgrounds include on-site stores with basic provisions. Firewood is often available for purchase at the campground, and some places like Camp Coeur D'Alene even provide it free of charge to cabin guests. Cabin occupancy typically ranges from two to six people, with larger units available for families.

    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.

    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!

    Spokane KOA Journey

    Dated, crowded, no shade

    We stayed one night in a deluxe cabin. It was spacious enough, with a partial kitchen, AC, and full bath. The grounds are well-kept but older. The cabin was tired—cabinets with loose hinges, squeaky bed, tub drain was slow, WiFi wasn’t working. Each cabin has a propane grill and the one by ours was too dirty to use. There is no shade on the cabins or many of the tent sites and it’s often so hot here in the summer that the AC can’t cool very well. It was 82 in our cabin despite running the AC and keeping all the blinds closed. The pool is clean but very cold and there is no shade on the playground so go in the morning or evening if you don’t want to get burned. Nothing nearly except a Wendy’s and a convenience store. Trains going by all night nearby.
    Fine for one night, but don’t recommend an extended stay Note: they do not allow EV charging but there is no written policy anywhere on the website or in any of the registration emails.

    KOA

    Large KOA conveniently located near I-90. Very clean bathrooms/showers. Pool, playground, community fire pit, and multiple dog areas. Generally quiet area except a nearby train blowing its horn a couple times during the night.

    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.

    Nice campground

    Nice campground. Level spaces for the most part. Ample space between sites, pull they'd, picnic tables and fire pits. Large pine trees, so plenty of shade and pine cones, clean restrooms. Would stay again. Price is $40/night with electric and water, dump station.

    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.

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Terrific sunsets!

    Nice level car camping spot. Rolled in and took one of the 2 upper road RV sites away from the main campsites below and was treated with a great sweeping view of the lake with a stellar sunset. Good fire ring with grate. Open bbq grill. Picnic table has seen better days. Didn't use the showers. Clean bathrooms. Would stay there again.

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Quaint & Enjoyable!

    Tucked back behind a neighborhood of fairly luxurious homes and sitting near the lake, these sites offer a nice spot to catch a breath while traveling. We stayed at tent site 10 and it has been perfect. $27/night for tent and $38/night for RVs. Pet friendly, great host, facilities, and plenty of space.
