“Nice CG After A Long Drive Into It”
Reviewed 7/12/2023

| Site Number: | 10 |
Overall Rating
32 mile drive on winding roads along the lake. CG is nice with partial views of the lake for most sites. One hiking trail and, of course, the lake for recreation. There is little to do in the area because you are so far out. Harrison was a bust, we went for lunch and everything was closed.

We had a beautiful view of the lake from site 15. The sites are paved with a nice fire ring and picnic table. Camp host has fire wood available for $8. Pit toilets are clean and plenty of trash cans available. The lower loop has two portable water spots, one is threaded. The road in is paved then turns to gravel for over a mile, then paved again the last third. That last third of the road gets a bit narrow from tree branches hanging into the road. The price we paid reflects our Access Pass 50% discount.

This is a great site (10), rolled in after 5:00 on a Monday, went straight to lower loop sites since we heard they’re closer to the water. Paid half price with Nat parks senior pass. We parked along a wide pull out in the road with our Ram Promaster, which overlooked the fire ring and picnic table, and water. Breezy so that kept bugs away tho we saw a yellow jacked trap up in one of the trees. We’re riding the bike trail so have to move on otherwise I’d stay here longer in a heartbeat.

Beautiful, quiet campground overlooking Coeur d’Alene. Our site (10) was very large and private and looked out over the lake. Will definitely come back as we think it’s the best place on the lake to camp.

This is a great campground and we'll definitely come back! My only negative is the hour long drive to get there from Coeur d'alene on that crazy winding road that follows the lake. Also it seems like it could be a favourite with locals.. We weren't keen on our shifty neighbors for one of the nights, especially after our truck alarm went off (which was the first time thats ever happened) at 3am.. Suspiciously they were still up around the fire like nothing happened. But hey...
Details:
-price reflects 50% discount with our Access pass
-paved road nearly all the way, except for the last few miles then its hard packed gravel
-campground has upper and lower loops.. Take the lower loop if possible!! No views of the water from the upper loop - cant believe we were only paying $11.50 with that kind of view!!
-no hook ups, but several water spigots through out
-lower loop had one pull through site, the rest are back in or tent walk-in
-not much for privacy between sites but it didn't bother us given the location
-cell service was slow but available
-there is a path down to the water where you will find 2 docks, an outhouse and a couple picnic tables. Area is kind of overgrown but still enjoyable
Wouldnt hesitate to return here
