FALL / WINTER ALERT: Our shower facility and on-site potable water at The River Cabin are now deactivated due to freezing night temperatures. That’s North Idaho 🥶🙂. Cabin water is available from a hydrant at our host cabin and we provide water containers and a wagon for your water fetching adventure. Finally, The River Cabin will close for the season around the end of December depending on snowfall conditions. If you book a December visit we reserve the right to ask you to arrive in a 4wheel drive vehicle or cancel your booking due to weather conditions. Thanks for your understanding. Note: We have a Bonners Ferry, ID mailing address but our physical location is approximately 30 miles North of Bonners Ferry and 1 mile South of Eastport, ID. We are a mile South of the Canadian Border just off US 95. Also, please note: Our tent campsite and RV campsite have separate booking sites but share the same shelter and toilet. If you book either site the "other" booking site is blocked during your stay. 2024 SEASON INFO - New for 2024 we will have a swing set down by the river below the campsite. It is a common use amenity open to River Cabin and Campsite guests. Adult supervision is required. Thank you. You are in a forest on land shaped by the last Ice Age, The forest has nurtured generations of of wildlife including majestic birds of prey. It sustained the Kootenai People before borders separated their lands. It saw determined miners pass this way seeking their fortune in gold from British Columbia. This forest supplied timber to build railroads and homes for families in the western migration. Our family is the current steward of this forest and it is our wish to respectfully share its beauty and observe its wildlife with your family and friends! Our Forest is surrounded by Kaniksu National Forest which is managed by the United States Forest Service (USFS) as part of the Idaho Panhandle. National Forest.. The Moyie River ( say Moy-yay) has headwaters at Moyie Lake in British Columbia and feeds into the Kootenai River (say Koo-ten-e) just East of Bonners Ferry. The Moyie River is 95 miles long. The area is private, so there is no view of the neighbors. You’ll have a broken view of the Host’s Cabin. Camp is situated on 15.4 acres of Certified Family Forest. If you hear the rumble of a train at night, it's because the Union Pacific passes along the opposite edge of the property from the campsites. There is no mobile phone service at the campsite . There is WiFi at the campsite shelter. We strongly suggest you activate the “Cell over WiFi “ function on your smartphone BEFORE you arrive/lose cell signal so you can access Emergency 911 Services.

Cedar Grove Riverside Tent Camp

We had a nice time and got to experience some nice weather up in the mountains next to the river. Tent pad, fire pit, bathroom, shower and much more all next to a river. Everything as described, would definitely go back.

Iron Horse Forest River Cabin

Paul was an incredible host, and our stay at the cabin was absolutely perfect. The scenery was breathtaking, and we were completely surrounded by nature’s beauty. My husband even caught a fish right by the river! We had an endless supply of firewood, which made for cozy evenings spent reading, relaxing, and listening to music—just enjoying life to the fullest. The cabin was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and we quickly realized we had packed way too much after seeing all the amenities available. One of the highlights of our stay was falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the river flowing nearby. It created such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. We can't say enough positive things about the location, the amazing scenery, and the overall experience. Thank you, Paul, for a truly memorable getaway!

Cedar Grove RV/TRL Park/Campsite

We were absolutely amazed by Paul's set up. Not only is the campsite right on the River, but he has thought of all the extras that just make it special. The shelter with grill and picnic table was perfect and even had a dinner bell. The bathroom was set up nice and clean. There chairs and a table and playground down by the water. He was also very friendly. We can't wait to return!
