Best Cabin Camping near Yellow Pine, ID

Cabin rental options near Yellow Pine include Johnson Creek Guard Station, a rustic cabin with electricity and 30-amp hookups. Paddy Flat Guard Station provides both electricity and water hookups, making it suitable for longer stays. Stolle Meadows Cabin offers basic accommodations with water access but limited amenities. These wilderness cabins typically have basic furnishings, providing shelter while maintaining a rustic camping experience. "Yellowjacket Guard Station is one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. The guard station sits in a little meadow beside a creek in a small canyon," commented one visitor who appreciated the solitude.

Most cabins require advance reservations through recreation.gov or directly with the property. Facilities at Warm Lake Campground include rental cabins adjacent to the lake with access to swimming areas and fishing opportunities. Historically-preserved guard stations offer unique accommodations, often featuring wood stoves for heating during colder months and basic bed frames. According to one camper, "The guard station is a lovely building. Depending on the time of year, there is available water, as well as water from the creek." Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins strictly prohibiting pets while others allow them with restrictions.

Visitors should bring their own bedding, towels, cooking supplies, and food as amenities are minimal in most forest service cabins. While some cabins include basic furniture like tables, chairs, and bed frames, most lack linens or kitchen supplies beyond basic countertops or tables. Firewood is available at some locations like Warm Lake Campground but should be confirmed before arrival. The small town of Cascade, about an hour's drive from Yellow Pine, offers the closest reliable grocery and supply options. Cabins at RV parks like Waters Edge or Arrowhead typically provide more amenities than forest service guard stations but still require guests to bring personal items.

    McCall RV Resort - Northfolk Lodge

    The Best RV Campsite in McCall, Idaho!!!

    We reserved a spot here to prepare for a rafting trip we had won from the McCall WinterFest. We are so glad we did!!! This place ROCKS! We have a 27' Travel Trailer RV and we reserved a full hook-up site. The staff was friendly and we were escorted the staff to the site we reserved. The location is nice and quiet, awa from traffic.They have a nice lodge with an indoor heated swimming pool. Each site had a picnic table but no fire pit where we stayed. We had a portable grill to cook our meals. The property is very clean and the staff is ver friendly. Can't ask for anything more!

    Peninsula Campground — Ponderosa State Park

    If You Like A Fish Bowl

    This campground boasts lovely showers and bathrooms. All well and good if you like to be in a fishbowl. There is no privacy between camp spaces. The rangers do not enforce the quiet hour rule and you get woken up in the middle of the night by screaming kids. Not my idea of a fun camping experience.

    Boise National Forest Warm Lake Campground

    A Pleasant Camping Area North of Boise, Idaho

    This campsite is located east of Cascade Lake and Donnelly, Idaho. It's a scenic road to get there. The camsite we were in was dry camping with no hook-ups. The camping pad for our 27' Travel Trailer was nice and level. Each campsite had a picnic table and a firepit. There are some nice hiking trails in the vicinity. Mountain biking and horse riding is acceptable there as well. Since we had kayaks, we had a short drive to the boat ramp. There is excellent trout fishing. There is a small swim beach near the Warm Lake Lodge and Restaurant, near where the cabins are. All in all, a great stay, away from the city :-) It's a nice peaceful setting.

    Waters Edge RV Resort

    Right next to the lake!

    Clean, leveled, friendly, only 1/4 mile to their downtown. Friendly and helpful staff, showers, toilets, beach area for swimming WITH lounge chairs, swimming right in front, volleyball court, dog walking trails, fire pits, horse shoe play area, etc! Only wish I was able to do laundry but coming back again! Oh and the best part, great fishing under the bridge!

    Expensive and crowded

    Boise National Forest Warm Lake Campground

    Remote and beautiful

    Warm Lake Campground

    Quite a drive to this beautiful lake but apparently it is well liked by locals because it was crowded!

    The water is crystal clear and fishing is popular. There is a trail that goes completely around the lake but we turned back when a snake crossed our path.

    There is a tent area, rental cabins and a camper area. I had no signal, bring a map.

    The forest fires were further into the forest but the smoke haze was ever present.

    Boise National Forest Warm Lake Campground

    Worth the drive

    Warm Lake Is BEAUTIFUL! Peaceful, dark and REMOTE.

    Quite a drive to this beautiful lake but apparently it is well liked by locals because it was crowded! People fishing everywhere, people all around the lodge, trail and beach.

    The water is crystal clear and fishing is popular. There is a trail that goes completely around the lake but we turned back when a snake crossed our path.

    There are several options to include a group camping area, a shoreline primitive area, rental cabins and a Rec vehicle area. The lodge offers pretty much everything you could need, but considering how busy they are I would try to bring what I needed.
