First time camping in Idaho and we really enjoyed this state park. Lovely park with a ton of activities for everyone. We stayed in the Gilmore loop with E/W and loved our site. Very friendly staff who helped direct us at the very busy visitor center. Sites are kept in perfect shape with a huge amount of living area. Very quiet park despite being almost full. Nice pathway down to beach area. We put our kayak in at the boat launch and spent an entire day on the lake. Clean bathrooms, didn’t use individual showers.
I know many others commented on the cost for out of state visitors and I couldn’t agree more, double billing is quite excessive. Instead of that they should consider allowing ID residents to book one month earlier than others. I’d be happy to pay a bit more but double is crazy.

They are charging double to out of state campers. No longer affordable. Tight spots, many with little privacy. CROWDED! This place is packed all summer long.

I only am leaving one star because 0 stars is not a choice. The customer service representatives are all extremely rude and the park ranger has a superiority complex. We travelled over 8 hours in the heat with our horses, small children and dogs to this equestrian camp to meet another family. The camp site was completely empty so we unloaded our livestock and young children and went to check in. We were an hour early. They made us load everything back up and sit in the super1 parking lot until 2pm to check in. I understand this is a policy when the campsite is full. The camp sites are all currently empty and I cannot believe the lack of empathy or understanding displayed by all Farragut state park employees that we have encountered so far. We have paid $200 to stay in this park for the next 4 nights. This place is a fun-hating, vacation ruining spot. Avoid.

we have a small unit - so they tried to put us in the camping area. we did not fit. its the same price to be in a bigger space and it was mid week the park was not even half full.
We asked for a different site and got a lovely paved pad with electricity.
the water access would be difficult if you are elderly. we carried our kayaks up and down and it was a good work out.
the cycle paths are nice for mountain biking
beware if you are not a state resident you pay double , it is nice here but i don't think it is worth 80USD per night without full hook up even

Our kids loved playing with the other kids throughout the campground and it was just overall fantastic.

There are a number of campgrounds in Farragut State Park, My review is for whitetail.
The pitches are well spaced with lots of vegetation for privacy. Whitetail is steps away from the Lakeshore trail which goes for miles.
Beautiful Lake, beautiful campground, the only downside is that you cannot check in until 2:00 p.m. Seriously, they make you stand in a line at the visitor's center. I can only imagine what this is like in the middle of high season. I was here mid-may and it was delightfully quiet.

This is a beautiful area, that is close to our home base. We usually spend a few nights every year mainly in the dry camp area. Last year it was around $22 per night which they raised to $32 this year. The new rate was understandable and we thought acceptable. The Idaho State Legislature doubled the fees for out of state resident this year making the fee $62 for a spot with no service, only a wide spot along the road. My recommendation is to find a campground in Idaho that is National Forest or private.

The key to understanding this state park is that at one time it was the second largest naval base in the United States. They trained up to 30,000 naval personnel here at a time during World War II, with a staff as large,. Had it been a city, the base would have been the second largest city in Idaho. When the base was decommissioned it was given to the state of Idaho, which did a spectacular job creating this State Park.
The point is that the land they were given is much, much larger than most state campgrounds and consequently they have laid it out in a way not to maximize profit but to maximize the camping experience. Our site was very large. Bathrooms were very clean.
As others have noted, it is staffed by very friendly, efficient personnel who keep the place spotless.
Farragut is midway between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, both of which are worth a visit, as is Round Hill State Park. If it’s your thing, the largest amusement park in the PNW is about a 15 minute drive south on 95. There is a large 24 hour market nearby.
There are hiking trails and boat access ramps.
The single negative is that AT&T service was only sufficient for texts and emails. I am told By staff that Verizon works better there.
In every other respect this is the standard by which other state and even federal parks should be judged.
Reserve early; this was a very tough reservation to nab.

We camped here after finding out this is the #1 SP in Idaho. This place is huge with several campgrounds in a beautiful pine forest. We were in new FHU Gilmore Campground. Site was fairly level, partly shaded with asphalt parking area, gravel tent pad, picnic table and fire ring. FHU worked well, although cell service was pretty bad. The hosts are great and we watched them rake and clean picnic tables after checkout. Lots of hiking and biking trails and saw lots of deer. One tip - make sure you check in at Visitor Center before you go to campsite or you’ll be directed back.
