Adults only, y'all.

Deer Ridge Lookout is best suited for people with fully developed gross motor skills, and who are adept at not falling from staggering heights. This unique 14x14 ft cabin sits atop a 40 ft tall frame, perfect for views of Moyie River Valley and the Purcell mountain ranges. Pack light since you'll be climbing stairs and a catwalk to get to your sleeping area. With plenty of wildlife to look at, this is a truly unique location you'll remember for years to come.

Prater mountain ranch

24 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Dover, ID
Welcome to the base of the beautiful Selkirk mountains, we’re nestled in between the beautiful lake resort town of Sandpoint ID and the picturesque resort area know at priest lake. Our property was originally homesteaded back before Idaho was a state by a trapper who fell in love with this lush little valley in the mountains. Once Idaho did become a state, the officials decided to keep the land surrounding this little oasis making it completely surrounded by thousands of acres of state endowment land usable to the public. There are three full time creeks that run though the property along with a few beaver made ponds and one large man made swimming pond. The site boasts hundreds of campsites ranging from dry RV parking to small tents on rock ledges overlooking the lush valley. Expect to see deer, elk, moose, turkey and a few other wild animals roaming the land around you. We have the space for event camping as well, we have a large covered gazebo for shaded group meals. Furthermore there is also a band stand for ceremonies and live music on select dates. We’re only 12 miles from town but you get that feeling of being out of the rush of the outside world.

Schweitzer Base Camp

1 site · Lodging6 acres · Sandpoint, ID
Schweitzer Base Camp is a 6 acre property that is near Sandpoint but feels entirely remote! Someone once told me that you can measure the distance from town in steps rather than miles because it gets remote so quickly and that's entirely true here! Being a 10 minute drive outside of town makes this property feel remote but be close enough to town to grab essentials. The 6 acres include forested areas, meadow areas, and borders on a creek on the southwest side of the property. The property is shared by the Woodland Fairy Cottage and the Creekside Lodge (an Airbnb property).
