Stay at a campground for a day or a week. Many Idaho State Parks offer both tent and RV camping. Sites range from primitive (no electricity, water or sewage) to full hookups.
Rent a rustic cabin. Rustic cabins are basic accommodations and feature beds, futons, electricity, outdoor fire pits and heat. Some are air-conditioned. None of the cabins have bathrooms or kitchens, but restrooms with showers are located nearby. Cabins are one-room buildings that sleep up to five. Linens are not supplied. Priest Lake also offers two-room cabins that sleep up to six. Rustic cabins are located at Priest Lake, Hells Gate, Farragut State, Dworshak, Massacre Rocks, Bruneau Dunes, Three Island Crossing, Henrys Lake, Lake Walcott and Ponderosa State Parks.
Treat yourself to more comfortable accommodations. Several parks offer cabins or houses with comfortable furnishings, bedrooms, bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens. The cabins at Heyburn State Park sleep up to eight in two bedrooms. While dishes, pots and pans are supplied, cabin renters must supply their own linens. The Ranch Manager’s House at Harriman State Park offers a four-bedroom log home with a stone fireplace and screened porch. The house sleeps up to eight people. The Cattle Foreman’s House at Harriman State Park sleeps six in three bedrooms, and offers a wood burning stove in addition to the complete kitchen.
Try sleeping in a yurt at Ponderosa, Winchester Lake or Harriman State Parks. Yurts, circular tents mounted on a plywood platform, offer beds and heat. The yurts at Harriman also offer a wood stove, table, chairs and propane appliances for cooking and light. None of the yurts have indoor plumbing, but restrooms with showers are located nearby.
Make a reservation up to nine months in advance. Reservations for campsites, cabins, houses and yurts can be made by calling 1 (866) 634-3246.
