Chatcolet Campground — Heyburn State Park

Campground is super clean, flushable toilets, metal picnic tables, fire rings all in good shape. Spots are fairly close so you can see your neighbors but there are trees and brush which helps. Frequented by young families so don’t be annoyed by kids having a good time on their bikes or playing. Camp spot 123 was right next to the Camp Host spot but that wasn’t a bad thing at all.

We picked this campground for its access to the Trail of the Coeur D’Alenes. The campground is small and peaceful, at least mid week. Lovely views of the lake through the trees. The toilets are flush, but look like outhouses from the outside. A pleasant surprise when you get in.

This is one of the 3 campgrounds within Heyburn State Park. The rangers and staff are amazing. Lots of things to do. Water sports. Hiking. Biking.. This one is not the best and definitely not the worst. Not bid rig friendly. Maybe 30 ft. It is really close to the lake and bike trail. No frills. Some electric sites. Would be ok if can't get into Hawleys Landing.

These sites have all the usual things I have come to associate with an average campground: Fire pits Benches

When I went, we made a reservation before hand. I recommend doing this as it seemed there were reservation tags on most sites.

I was able to get some views of the water and did some light exploring. There was areas with cover for shade.

My site had some wood near the fire but it was unclear if it was left by the previous campers or if it was provided.

Great area for cloud watching and stargazing, but sunset was my fav price part of this location:

I really like they Heyburn State Park area in general. There are other campgrounds nearby not listed on this app which are also nice. If you just go to this area you will find many tranquil moments between walking trails, docks, or just sitting by the campfire.

Not a great place, I’d try one of the others.
