Natural Features
Albeni Falls Dam on the Pend Oreille River, provides flood control, power production and countless recreational activities for visitors year-round. Behind the dam, the Pend Oreille River stretches 65 miles through a glacial-carved valley that separates three mountain ranges. Lake Pend Oreille is surrounded by scenic mountains and is one of the largest and deepest natural lakes in the western United States, plunging to depths of more than 1,200 ft. in some areas.

The Albeni Falls Visitor Center features exhibits on the history of the dam and the natural features of the area. Tours of the dam are given daily during the summer.

Fun place for the family
Good place for a quick trip. 5 minutes from town
Busy campground
A great place to launch a boat, picnic, fish or swim. Lots of area to play on the Pend Oreille River. Sees a lot of local swimmers and boaters. Nice wooded picnic area. Basic park camping. Close to Newport, Wa restaurants snd other facilities.
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.
