2. Bull River Guard Station
2 Reviews•8 Photos•10 SavesNoxon, MontanaOverview
The Bull River Guard Station was built in 1908 as the Ranger's house and office. This structure was a primary ranger station from 1908 to 1920, surviving the legendary 1910 fires that swept through the area. The cabin was home to Granville "Granny" Gordon (District Ranger), his wife and three daughters. Full vehicle access to the cabin depends on weather conditions. The road is normally plowed within 1 mile of the cabin during winter months.
Recreation
The Bull River is 24.7 miles long from its headwaters to where it meets the Cabinet Gorge Reservoir. Fish species include westslope cutthroat trout, large scale sucker and mountain whitefish. Visit the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks website for fishing regulations and hunting seasons and permits. Hikers might be interested in two excellent day hiking options located near the guard station: the Pilick Ridge Trail #1036 and the Berray Mountain Trail #967. Both lead to lookouts with impressive views of the Cabinet Mountains. The Berray Mountain Lookout tower, built in the 1930's, is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register. For those interested in horseback riding, there is plenty of opportunity to explore the surrounding land. Stock animals are not allowed in the cabin area, but visitors may tie up across the road or 50 yards behind the station. As always, certified weed free hay is required on all Forest Service lands.
Natural Features
The Bull River Guard Station is located in the Cabinet Mountain Range near the East Fork of the Bull River in the Kootenai National Forest. The Cabinet Mountains were named by early French settlers who thought the mountains had a cabinet-like appearance when viewed from the valley floor. The cabin is located minutes from from the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness area which is home to a large range of wildlife from the high rocks of the mountain goat, mountain sheep, pika and golden eagle, to the lower slopes and brushy canyon bottoms of the beaver, woodrat, and beautiful Western Tanager. Fall foliage in this area is truly stunning with a wonderful assortment of Mountain Maple scarlets, Mountain Ash reds, Alder browns, and the Larch golden yellows.

North Haven Campground
Awesome facility
Modern and beautiful campground. Close to all the wonders of Idaho's panhandle. They have several back in and pull through sites with more on the way. Choice of full hookups, or water and electric. Their showers are emaculant and luxurious. Wife refused to use ours. They have luxury cabins and covered wagon glamping. Very family and senior friendly. Reasonably priced, can't loose booking here.

Upper Ford Cabin Rental
Upper Ford (Yaak)
This USFS Cabin rental is perfect for families! The cabin is a former ranger house and is located right next to the river, with horse stalls and plenty of space for parking. Hiking trails, fishing, and great swimming holes are very close by. The cabin is along a road, but traffic isn't a concern as the USFS in the Kootenai aren't busy any time of the year. I believe you can only rent by calling the Kootenai National Forest (Troy District).

Johnie and his staff are over the top to accommodate. We stayed in the cabin and it was clean, warm, comfortable. Located central to sights in Idaho as well as Montana. We will be back next year. Guided fishing tours available as well as great food.

Fairview Ranger Station
Great location, nicely restored
Only spent 1 night here in Aug 2019, but it was amazing. The cabin itself is a nicely restored 2 story with kitchen (including gas refrigerator and range) and sleeping space for 6, with folding futon downstairs and 1 full size upstairs across from 2 singles. Nicely fenced in yard gives an extra feeling of security when you hear the bears or wolves at night. There's a nice sized fire ring and plenty of wood in the garage. There was even a bike in the garage. Although unrestored, there are 2 cabins out back, within the yard. One was the original mess hall, and the other was the bunkhouse. Behind those, there's a well made horseshoe tossing area. Gas lights provide plenty of light in the ranger station. Bring your own water and bedding. There's a well kept outhouse, just outside the gated area. Can't wait to return.
Don R.TravelerKootenai River Campground
Fantastic people and place!
I been through the area a couple times on quick trips,I always wanted to return and explore the area without knowing much about it and the people were very helpful. Yes they told us how to get to Ross Creek Cedars and Kootenai falls (go early), absolutely stunning! I also found Libby Dam, we sat on the tailgate eating lunch and watched eagles soaring and fishing on the bottom side of the dam. The trail down to the river was great, the boys had a blast riding their bikes on it. The only downside was being right next to the highway but that also made it nice for getting out and exploring too.

Garver Mtn. Lookout Rental
YES!
Garver Mtn Lookout is remote, stunning, and the views go on forever. This is the kind of lookout rental where you can stay for days and not run into another human. (Grizzlies and moose may be a different story though). This look out is adjacent to the original USFS structure, so you get 2 amazing buildings for one. :) The hike in is STEEP, but only 0.25 miles and absolutely worth the sweat. There are extensive trail trail systems all along the ridge line, so plan on spending a few days and exploring the area.

Truck Broke Down, Won’t refund 1 night stay
We are in Washington supposed to meet family in Montana and stay one night here on the way. Our truck broke down and won’t be fixed for about 3 weeks at dealership. We were told we couldn’t have a refund because of late notice. I tried to call and work it out politely with a basic no. I understand you could have rented but you are the business taking risk. Do NOT punish future renters for something out of their hands. Bad business. I would understand a week or more booked but one night is petty. Also we called Wednesday to cancel and was told someone would call back, I was told we didn’t cancel 48 hours or more and that is longer than 48 hours.

Great experience and people!
We stayed here for two nights for our first “plugged in” camper experience. Owners were super friendly and helpful! At their recommendation visited both the Kootenai Falls and Ross Creek Cedars, both very fun and memorable experiences for us and our toddler. Camp store packed with fun goodies. Also met some new friends while at camp, excited to meet up with them again someday! Will definitely be back!

Kootenai River Campground
Great campground
A very nice small campground. About 2/3 of the sites are full hookups. Rest water and electric. Tent sites. Owners are great people. Very helpful for sure. They have a path you can walk down right to the Kootanie river with chairs and picnic tables to sit on. Very nice. Grounds are clean and tidy. Owners care a lot about their customers. Bathrooms are clean. Showers also clean. Would recommend staying here if your in the area.

A nice family campground.
We enjoyed our time at this camp. Most sites are for RVs, but we got a tent site. Unfortunately, my two year old son didn’t settle for bed easily when camping. I ended up in hotels a couple nights, just because I didn’t want to bother the other campers. The time I did stay there was nice. The hosts are very helpful and kind as well.

Kootenai River Campground
Superb Owners
To start off, I rarely write reviews. We were in the area in August of 2019 and we stopped here to potentially tent camp. We went inside and asked if there was anything available for the night. We wanted a quiet campground with access to the Kootenay River in which they had both. So one of the owners let us check out the sites and trail to the river. However, we wanted something right on the river and it was a little bit of a walk to gain access to it.
We went back in and said we wanted something along the river and the owner recommended a different campground further down the road. (Which ended up being a great recommendation.) She didn't have to do that. She wasn't greedy whatsoever. That's how businesses should operate. That what makes people want to come back because of little stuff like this. I even offered to buy some firewood because she recommended a different campsite and she told us to get it at the camp in which we were staying.
That's why I'm writing this review because it's hard to find good service like that anymore. Although we didn't stay here, I highly recommend this campground. Great service, very clean, and nice atmosphere.

Pure
We stayed here two nights. Excellent views 360*. This lookout was nice because it had a propane fridge, oven, heater, and lights. It also had a variety of pots/pans/plates/cups/utensils. There is a winch on the side of the deck so you don't have to haul things up (like our cooler). Explored the Yaak and Kootenai!

Awesome Historic Cabin
This old Guard Station is in the perfect location. Easy to drive to and close to miles and miles of trails in the Kootenai National Forest. Plenty of beds for a full family - four upstairs and one downstairs. History galore in the building and surrounding areas. Some complaints of mice - but that’s to be expected from a building from 1908.

Amazing views from this old fire lookout tower!
We did not stay overnight, but it's a beautiful spot, with 360 degree views. It's quiet and peaceful. The road up to the lookout is pretty rough and wouldn't recommend it in a car. There's a lovely hiking trail from the parking area as well which leads to even more spectacular views. Recommended for a day trip or overnight!

Mount Baldy
About a 6 mile hike in to hidden lake, camp on the outskirts but if you want seclusion you will find it here. Rocky terrain but water is not short here and it will be found in the bright green foliage jetting from the mountain sides, Spring water, also berry picking is here which means predators so come prepared, bear and wolf sign. The view is amazing!! With view of the 3 sister mountains from the crest, Its like Eden.

Fire tower lookout cabin
You can drive right up to the base of the fire tower and then do day hikes from the summit (or hike up in winter). The views in all directions are amazing. We didn’t go to bed for hours because of stargazing. Pros: backcountry camping but not in a tent, bunkbeds, table, stove, outhouse, wildlife, wildberries, hiking, incredible views. Cons: no water (bring filters/chems).

Very friendly staff
At first we were a little taken aback by all the train noises (the puppy wasn’t too excited about it) but they didn’t run too late into the night. Close to town and when we stayed (early October) there were plenty of open RV sites. It almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. The facilities were well maintained and included laundry, bathrooms, and pay showers.

Nice place good sites
Bridge was under construction and could not get to north shore so stayed here. The host made late check in for us easy. Had full hookups. Nice level gravel site. 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. Enjoyed our stay!
