"Gilmore Campground Farragut State Park, Idaho Lake Pend Oreille
Who Knew?!!
I crossed the Montana / Idaho state line this morning and was pleasantly surprised at the AMAZING scenery ."

TravelerIn a suburb and RR tracks. Lots of traffic.
TravelerWe were able to work with employees with parking extended because our rv needed work done so we could really drive it. They were understanding and sweet. Great spot. Walk away from Taco Bell, Starbucks, Walmart and more!
ScoutI stayed here 3 nights., early June. All the spaces have wide back in or pull through driveways, beautiful one, fir forest. Sites are mostly shaded, but not always. i.e. check spot for solar power. Very well kept, clean vault toilets. No hookups. Nearest dump station at Shoshone camp, downstream a ways. It's a NF station, $8 fee, credit cards accepted, also neat and clean. Only one pump it yourself drinking water spigot at the campground. Great fishing steps away, but catch the catch and release west slope cutthroat aren't so easy to catch as a recent article in American Fly Fishing magazine suggests-unless you are a professional fly fishing expert and writer, maybe. Go on a weekday.
GuideThis is a RV resort, they have everything you may need. Full hookups, big and hot showers, a store, laundry. We had been boon docking for a little over a week so it was nice to have a bit of luxury for a couple nights. The best part, right on the water. We took our paddle boards out and it was great!
TravelerGreat place to camp. Very quiet here. Camp sites can be close depending on the one you get. No dump in sites, so a little bit of a bummer.
TravelerTrain honks at a crossing. Didn’t notice it at night as much as morning and evening. Nice spots. Shared water needs a long hose. No tents on grass.
ScoutWebsite miss represents the true character of this campground which has fallen into disrepair. Appears to be minimally maintained and there doesn’t appear to be any upgrades to sites. The concrete strips are are no longer level, one of the main bathroom/ shower “lodges” out of order, offering porta-potty or walk to other end of grounds. We were not notified of this by check in staff. $60/ night for full hook up simple back in site at this facility is high compared to other campgrounds offering same amenities in much better condition.
LegendOnly reason I am not giving this five stars that's because it runs between 35 to 75 a night to stay there ranging from camping to full RV hookup. However, it is very close to Spokane and has beautiful hiking trails, a beach where you can swim and kayak and canoe and fish, birds and wildlife around singing beautifully day and night. More of a family oriented Campground but great for a couple of nights.
GuideWe really had a great time here. The other campers were so friendly. Easy access to wineries and hikes. Clean facilities and sites. Definitely a place to stop.
