Nestled in tall pines, and half the sites are 20 feet from the water (down a steepish slope). The sites are graveled, and comfortably spaced. Each has a fire ring and picnic table, there is a dump, tap water, and toilets. I use soar panels and liked site # 28 best, but 12, 25, 27, & 32 also get a few hours of sun each day.

This is dry camping at its best. Price reflect Golden Pass discount.
There is a bonus here too - Sandpoint is a really neat little town. I'd live here!
Anthony Sherman would stay here again

I grew up going to Springy Point's public beach and using the boat launch since I was a little girl and never had a bad experience until now. I had family in town for the 4th of July and we decided to spend the whole day at Springy Point using the public beach and boat launch. My husband and I thought it would be a good idea to reserve a camp spot for (2) days so we would have access to it the whole day on the 5th of July since check out is 3PM and we would want to use it for dinnertime. We thought that reserving a camping spot would provide us a place of shade if it got too hot and we wanted to get the kids out of the sun for awhile, a place to cook on our propane grill and play yard games as a family without taking over the whole public beach area. I called the phone number on Springy Point's website to make the reservation, I told the representative our plan to use the camping spot for day use and she told me that would be fine and a great idea. I paid with my credit card over the phone for the 2 days ($40.00). When we arrived on the 5th we went straight to the beach because the ranger check in wasn't open, later my husband ran into a ranger and let her know we had arrived. The ranger asked him if he was pulling in a camper or tent camping and he said that we were using the site for day use only, she said that was fine and just needed his license plate number. Later a different ranger then earlier stopped members of my family (no they did not look for me the person who's name the reservation is under or my husband who checked us in) and told them we were not permitted to use the site and they were going to release the site so someone else could reserve it. After hearing this I went to the site where I saw the 2nd Ranger (Betsy Hull) telling my brother in law to move his truck out of the spot or she would give him a fine of $130.00 since we were not permitted to use the camping site. He moved his truck and I spoke with Ranger Betsy Hull who informed me that Springy Point has a rule that you must plan to stay overnight to use the spots, I questioned this as I have camped many places and never heard of something like this before. She continued to tell me that she doesn't make a lot of money from this job and barely gets by and rich people have no right to reserve spots for day use and make it so poor people don't have camping sites available for their use. I at that point asked for her boss's number and stated I would be staying in the spot until I got things figured out with her boss, Ranger Betsy Hull told me that I would find myself with a $130.00 fine then since I was not permitted to be in the site. I stayed anyway and called her boss Craig about the issue, he informed me that no we couldn't use the site for day use and that I shouldn't expect a refund of my money as it wasn't their fault I had got wrong information from the reservation system representative, not their fault they don't know the rules for Springy Point. Ranger Betsy Hull showed back up and shoved a booklet of the rules in my face mid phone call where she highlighted a rule regarding something about camping being defined as using the site to place a sleeping unit ie a camper or tent. I ended the call extremely disappointed with Springy Point Campgrounds, Ranger Betsy Hull who made the rude assumption that I was a rich sob and her boss Craig. Later a ranger brought my husband a receipt that showed me getting a refund for $20.00 as they planned to reserve the camping site to someone else who would be "camping" in it.
