A place where the
forest meets
the water

Camp Stidwell has been a quiet sanctuary in Bonner County for generations — a place where families return year after year, not because they have to, but because they simply can't stay away.

Situated on 4259 Talache Road, our property borders the crystal-clear waters of Lake Pend Oreille, one of the deepest and most pristine lakes in the Pacific Northwest. Whether you're seeking solitude by the fire pit or adventure on the water, this is ground that rewards those who slow down.

We don't do rushed check-ins or sterile rooms. What we offer is warmth, authenticity, and the kind of setting that makes you want to leave your phone in the drawer.

Lake Pend Oreille

Over 280 square miles of world-class fishing, boating, and swimming. Walleye, trout, and lake trout await — or simply drift and watch the bald eagles circle overhead.

Campfire Evenings

There's something timeless about gathering around a fire under a sky full of stars. We provide the firewood — you bring the stories, the s'mores, and the company.
