Safe, pretty little spot.

Great last minute camping, not somewhere I want to return to every year. Perfect for an overnight. Site 12 is the best site and I highly recommend reserving that one. The campground hosts were extremely kind and helpful.

Childhood Memories

A small campsite ⛺ near Old Town, my family spent a weekend every summer ☀here when I was a child. We would get a first come site and spend our time fishing 🎣 and enjoying the campfire 🔥 Close to town it's easy to run to the store. While the campground is small, it's close to several forests 🌳 you can go hiking in, or go boating 🚣 and kayaking 🛶 on the river. We would also drive to Sandpoint to spend the day in town. Definitely a cute campground ⛺ to relax in!
