The only authentic 1880's underground gold mine tour in the Northwest!
**Winter or summer, the Silver Valley is a great place to vacation! **The Crystal Gold Mine, near Kellogg, Idaho was one of the first hard rock mines in the Silver Valley. Worked during the 1880’s; closed by hiding the mine, it was rediscovered in 1991, reclaimed in 1996, and opened as a tourist historical attraction.
The work was all done in candlelight by hand. The guided underground tour explains how they drilled with "Hand Steels" using "Single Jacks" and "Double Jacks" (Hammers), how they traced the quartz vein using 1880 methods, how they tested the vein for gold. Beautiful stalactite crystals of smithsonite in an array of colors coat the walls. Gold and wire silver can still be seen in the quartz vein.
Crystal Gold Mine can be reached by taking Idaho Exit 54 on Interstate 90 to the Miner's Memorial (located on the North side of the freeway). Turn left (west) on Silver Valley Road, and go two miles.

Laird Park Campground, located in the northwest Idaho town of Potlatch and named in memory of A.W. Laird, a lumberman and early leader in the Potlatch Lumber Co., is a fantastic location to bring your family, friends or maybe even your boy or girl scout troupe for some outdoor fun and swimming. The recreation area has a sandy beach (a result of a swimming beach dam built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933), 2 group picnic areas as well a half-mile interpretive trail.__Fishing is a popular passtime here too, with abundant opportunities for rainbow and brown trout from the Palouse River.
This recreation area is part of Dworshak Reservoir
Guide
Freeman Creek at Dworshak State park has great opportunity for all levels of camping. Tent sites, RV/Trailer sites, or a few small primitive cabins (no bathrooms or kitchens in the cabins). There is also access to the reservoir for boating, fishing or to mini-camp sites all along the reservoir. Kokanee fishing is great from March to about late July. The spawn begins in August, so the fish move up the reservoir as the season progresses. Smallmouth bass fishing is great! The Idaho state Smallmouth record was caught in this lake. Day use parking is available for a small fee. For Idaho residents with the State Parks pass reduces the fee. A lot of wildlife viewing too! If you are lucky you may see a black bear feeding on blackberries, deer are numerous, elk frequent the lake, and one of my favorites is to watch Osprey dive in the lake for fish.
I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October.

This is a Spokane County campground about a mile from the Idaho border. It’s located down a country road so use the website to find it. It had two ex-marine hosts when we visited so the potential for yahoos is low. In fact it was neat, tidy, and quiet when we visited for one night. It is a popular place for locals and fills quickly. Warm showers are included. Beware that tent sites 2&3 accommodate one compact vehicle only, this is not clear from website which will accept payment for 2. The other would have to park elsewhere as directed. The park is pleasant with lake access and hiking trails
Legend
The "grand finale" of our 4000-mile road trip was two nights and two days at Silverwood Theme Park in the Northwestern corner of Idaho. The water park and rides were amazing, like a smaller, easier Disneyland. Everyone had lots of fun and we'd definitely go back.
The Silverwood RV Park is attached to the theme park via a pedestrian tunnel and is a whole other story. Hot campground, tiny trees that provide no shade, loud neighbors talking through the night, and worst of all, all tents, chairs, and other items must be placed on the rock pads, not on the grass, since there's sprinklers that go off every night in the grass. I guess this wouldn't have been so bad (maybe a 2 or 3 star location), but we had an especially bad experience when a broken sprinkler blasted our tent and all our gear in the middle of the night (which was in the gravel so should have been safe). We had to move everything to the other side of the pad in the dark and try to dry everything out. A shocking and unpleasant experience all-around.
Pros: Great location if you're going to Silverwood. If you're in a self-contained RV this would work well.
Cons: Horrible for tents unless you're fully outfitted with cots since the gravel makes for an uncomfortable stay and there's no room to spread out. Loud, crowded, and hot.
Guide
Nice place to stop over for the night or a few days. There is a gold mine tour and gift shop on the property. Convenient to a small town and a lot of nature to see in the area. Very friendly staff and the mine tour is well worth it. Especially for kids. Will definitely stop here again.
LegendThis little camping spot off of interstate 90 is perfect for all ages. A couple of dozen small pull in, and pull- through, sites that have full hookups and tire rim fire pits. A bit of shade and a bit of noise from the interstate.
But…. there 40 minutes tour of the mine is awesome!! And, it comes with an opportunity to pan for gold and gems.
Don’t count on striking it rich with gold but you will certainly leave entertained and with a great bit of mining education!
LegendYes, this campground is right off I 90 and yes there is road noise BUT where else can you camp, visit a mine and pan for gold. Such rich ( pun ) history. Really great host. Tree shaded spots. The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes is right across the road. The Trail of the Hiawatha is very close. The town of Wallce is definitely worth going as they claim to be the center of the universe. The Pulaski Trail is definitely worth hiking and the story behind it is even more so.
LegendWe did the mine tour two years ago and we’re happy to do it again. We noted back then we should return and try the rv sites one day & we did! The kids did some gem panning and found some gold specks. A neat insight into the mining that was so prevalent in these parts. Full hookups all worked great. Huge huge site with a brand brew picnic table and nice fire ring. Nice & small campground overall
Traveler
This is a little Campground/Rv Park right off I-90. It has about 15 RV spots and a handful of tent sites with a fire ring. There are clean, warm bathrooms with showers and very friendly management.
TravelerOur family had a great one night stay. It was very last minute but they had a tent spot available. They do have around fifteen RV spots a few small cabins, and a handful of tent spots. The tent spots are around the perimeter of a gazebo that had electric hookup. They have four total restrooms, two of those have showers, and they have a laundry facility available as well. Everything was clean and we'll kept! Planning on staying again!
TravelerSmall RV park, with a few tent sites. Hosts were lovely people. Large clean bathrooms and showers. Park like environment.
Was warned a Moose family likes to walk through, but didn’t see them.
Ranger
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.
GuideWe 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.
ScoutNot a great place, I’d try one of the others.
LegendThis 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.

Breezed in on Labor Day weekend so I just hafta start by saying how grateful I was to find anything.
This place is clean, folks were friendly, etc. All good stuff. I'd say it's primarily for the RV/Family crowd, but there were other car/motorcycle campers there, too. There's a little store and a nice community camp fire.
My site was along the "creek" which was a VERY lazy body of water in the late summer. It didn't seem to be moving much at all. Across this magestic stream, traffic flowed freely down I-90 all night long. Something of a Freightliner Lullaby...
I think this place is just great as long as you think through its proximity to the freeway, etc. It definitely made for a quick coffee run into CDA in the AM.
ScoutVery clean! Hosts were super friendly. They had a group campfire each night. Will definitely return!
ScoutThis campground is next to the interstate. I called last minute as we were driving through and was offered a tent site next to “the creek”—turns out the creek is the ditch between the highway and campsite. It’s loud, and bright with lights from the highway. More of a trailer park. But it’s extremely clean and well maintained and friendly hosts, maybe better for RVs.
GuideWas looking for a tent site close to Coeur d‘Alene and found this park. The tent sites are on a grassy area by the creek. Unfortunately, ground is very uneven and the interstate with heavy truck traffic is right next to it. Felt like the traffic was going through my tent. Park is packed with RVs and families and there is no privacy whatsoever. Otherwise very well taken care off with little shop and nice clean restrooms/showers.
LegendStandard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise
TravelerMade my reservation for an overnight stay over the phone on my way there. Staff was very kind and friendly. I came after the office was closed and a map was left for which tent site was mine. Very clean campgrounds, had a cute little dog park in it too. Ample amount of restrooms and showers available, that were spotless and well stocked.
RangerCute campground with plenty to do and lots of amenities. Canoe and float rentals, live music on weekends. Full hook ups, clean showers and laundry too. It was perfect for our quick stop over. Only downside was no fire rings.
LegendThis place reminds me of the places my family stayed when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. Very well keeped. River access from the campground to coeur d'Alene lake. Close to the city. Beautiful area. Interstate noise is not too bad. The people are so very kind and you can tell they love their place.
GuideLots of free or low priced activities for the kids. We loved kayaking down the creek at the campground and saw wildlife. Only downer is it's right on the freeway. We just ran our AC/fan at night and it blocked out the noise.
Traveler
Only reason for 4 stars is not being able to reserve a spot. Very quiet, cozy location. Stayed here twice; both times was an overnight stay while waiting to pick my Scouts up from summer camp. The sites are very spacious and vault restrooms are located all through the grounds. I’ve never made it to swim; however, the area is quite large.
RangerThis seasonal campground that has areas to swim. It does have restrooms and a playground for kids. I enjoy recreation here in the summer but I prefer to have more privacy when camping. I do not have phone service here.
It costs 12 dollars a night. There is a grocery store not too far away in potlatch.
The campground is about 3.3 miles away from Harvard, and there is a lot of nearby places to access the Palouse river.
There is good fishing areas nearby. Further up the road there is dispersed campsites that are large enough for large groups. If you have kids Laird park is a great location.
TravelerThere are two loops at Laird Park campground, which I found to be very different. If you head left to the East loop, there are some nice, shaded and wooded spots. Some sites seemed to have almost no space to pitch a tent, however. But there are some fine spots at that loop, particularly at the beginning. If you head right to the west loop, the spots are much more exposed, close together, and sunny. But both loops have plenty of parking areas and picnic areas, with water and a playground at the end of the west loop.
Traveler
Very popular spot and not much space between sites, but for good reason. Beautiful area with lots to do
