Drive-in sites at this Forest Service campground sit alongside the Coeur d'Alene River, with water hookups available for RVs up to 45 feet. The facility operates from late May through early September, with sites ranging from $26-$52 per night depending on hookup availability.
River access defines the camping experience here, with swimming holes and fishing opportunities steps from most sites. Evan H. notes "access to the river and some nice fishing right from the campground," while also mentioning waterfall access via a short trail up the road. The campground layout places sites fairly close together despite the larger overall footprint.
A camp host provides on-site management, with drinking water, pit toilets, and firewood available for purchase. Recent visitors appreciate the maintained facilities and semi-private site design. The drive into the campground offers mountain and forest views, though road conditions can vary seasonally. For additional camping options in the region, see places to camp around Coeur d'Alene National Forest.
Kit Price works well for RV travelers seeking hookups and river recreation, plus tent campers comfortable with closer site spacing in exchange for direct water access.
Description
Overview
Kit Price is a beautiful campground overlooking the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River. Campers enjoy the benefits of the river by fishing along the banks, swimming and floating. Hiking is also a great way to see mountain views. Past visitors may notice a change in the appearance and openness in the park due recent removal of dead and diseased trees. This was done to improve safety for visitors and to improve forest health. New tree plantings are currently being planned to replace some of those lost and to increase the natural appearance of the campground for years to come. Please visit our website for additional information.
