Pebble Guard Station in ID -- Campground & RV Camping

Pebble Guard Station is a rustic 1933 one-room cabin set on four fenced acres in the foothills of Pebble Basin at 6,320 feet elevation. The cabin sleeps up to six people using two bunk beds and folding cots, equipped with a wood stove, propane lights, stove, oven, water heater, and a mudroom with a seasonal shower. Outside, the property includes a vault toilet, campfire ring, grill, lantern post, picnic table, and parking space for up to three RVs. Summer drinking water is available. Nearby trails cater to hiking, mountain biking, off-road vehicles, and winter snowmobiling.
