Best Cabin Camping near Palouse, WA

100 Reviews

Cabin rentals near Palouse include Boyer Park & Marina KOA and Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake, both providing sheltered accommodation options for those seeking protection from the elements. Cabins at Boyer Park feature electricity, basic furnishings, and proximity to water access points, while Premier RV Resort cabins include more developed amenities. "The park was beautiful the bathrooms were just remodeled. You were not super close to your neighbors. It was very quiet and there was a walking/biking path along the river," noted one visitor about Premier RV Resort. Heyburn State Park also offers cabin lodging with picnic tables and fire rings at both its Hawleys Landing and Chatcolet campgrounds.

Rustic lookout cabins are available at Bald Mountain Lookout near Potlatch, providing a more isolated experience with panoramic views but limited amenities. "100% recommended. Just come and take a look for yourself. Been camping for years this is 100% my favorite," shared one guest about the Bald Mountain experience. Cabins at Boyer Park remain open from March through early November, while Heyburn State Park cabins operate year-round. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when cabin occupancy reaches capacity. Pet policies vary by location, with Heyburn State Park and Premier RV Resort permitting pets, while others maintain restrictions.

Most cabin facilities provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Cooking arrangements differ significantly between locations—Premier RV Resort cabins typically include more kitchen amenities, while rustic options like Bald Mountain Lookout have minimal facilities. According to one camper, "We just got a pop up trailer and got some free nights... Hells canyon is right up the road for tours going thru the rapids." On-site stores are available at Boyer Park & Marina KOA and Premier RV Resort for basic supplies. Visitors planning extended stays should bring cooking supplies, food provisions, and appropriate seasonal clothing, especially for the rustic cabin options where amenities are limited.

    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.

    Chief Timothy Park

    Chief Timothy review , tents and cabins

    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.

    Freeman Creek Campground — Dworshak State Park

    A little bit of everything!

    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.

    Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

    Weekend Camping in Heyburn

    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.

    Chatcolet Campground — Heyburn State Park

    2025 Aug Review

    Campground is super clean, flushable toilets, metal picnic tables, fire rings all in good shape. Spots are fairly close so you can see your neighbors but there are trees and brush which helps. Frequented by young families so don’t be annoyed by kids having a good time on their bikes or playing. Camp spot 123 was right next to the Camp Host spot but that wasn’t a bad thing at all.

    Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake

    Clean, well-run RV place in a small city

    This “RV resort” is within the city of Clarkston and a stone’s throw from a Costco, a WalMart and an Albertson’s. It’s highly manicured and very clean. Staff members are on top of every little thing, friendly and respectful. The waterfront sites overlook Granite Lake, a reservoir on the Snake River. There’s not a whole heck of a lot to do in Clarkston and environs, but it’s a super friendly city and the RV resort is pretty pleasant, featuring a dog park, lots of well-tended lawns, shared propane fire pits and grills and sparkling restrooms.

    Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

    All the basics is all you need

    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.

    Freeman Creek Campground — Dworshak State Park

    5th wheel traveling with big family and multi age group kids

    To start, what a gorgeous area! Quiet, calm, nice. 

    At first when we rolled into our spot I thought I was going to be in huge trouble- drive through spot with a wicked drop off on the right side (camper door side) with the fire pit and picnic table at the bottom. I pictured kids falling, food mishaps, general non fun trudging up and down. Well, it actually turned out ok: we moved our 5th wheel as far from the edge as possible which allowed for a decent platform and we ended up having a birds eye view of what all the kids were doing. If that's still a problem, be mindful of what site you are signing up for, meadow ones are available. 

    • Bathrooms and showers were ok, though the standard, push the button every 30 seconds to have water flow in your shower is a little annoying (maybe i'm just a princess). 
    • Sweet little nature trails were pretty and easy for smaller children to walk through. 
    • Easy lake access is only in the park/play area. The rest of the lake access is a pretty blunt drop off from forest to water (read: no wadding in the sand). But the play area was pleasant. I heard that this year (2021) is was a bit more run down than usual so maybe next year it'll improve??? We still enjoyed the water and had a ton of fun finding tadpoles. 
    • You can rent SUPs and canoes and have a little explore around the lake. Very enjoyable.
    • NO CELL SERVICE. You just have to be present with one another. 
    • Important for our family- when we went in June, there were next to no mosquitos! My poor teenager usually gets eaten alive anywhere we go and he left unscathed! 
    • THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP::::: Even though we loved the location, we won't be returning simply because of the road to get there. Google maps wrecked us- I selected "quickest route" and had NO warnings that we would be driving up the narrowest gravel road with a 11% incline!!!! We have a diesel F350 but towing a big 5th wheel made it horrifying. Please be smarter than me and do your research. Once we started the decline it was mercifully paved but signage posted stated "2 road lane can be used as single lane" as it becomes the Lombard St for recreational vehicles! I saw some class A's that had boats towed behind them and I'm not entirely sure they didn't use witchcraft to make it work.
