We were very pleased with this RV park! We stayed for two nights so my wife could attend a conference. This facility is located very near the general Fairgrounds and next to the horse park. No horses are allowed at the campground but stables are very near by in the Fairgrounds. The sites are all pretty level with the parking areas paved. Grass and groomed gravel areas too. There are various sized sites most are back in. When checking online, and that's where you must reserve your site, there is a very good map with the site lengths listed. Our number 1 site was over 60 feet long and large for our 34 foot long 5th wheel and our Chevy truck. Most of the sites are full hookup with 30 and 50 amp electric. Water and sewer dump. There is also a sewer dump station with 4 dumps, located just west of this park. There is NO wifi provided in the park, but being pretty centralized in the area, cell service is very good. I had full bars of 4G service on my AT&T 5G phone. There is a building with bathroom and showers available if needed, at the south end of the park. Our site was just along the road and it was pretty noisy but it did calm down at night. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed and picked up after. For a Fairgrounds campground it is a bit pricey compared to the other Fairground Camping we've utilized, this is still a very nice facility and we would and probably will use it again.

We used to camp here in the 80s and it was always peaceful and beautiful. And we liked it because its got free showers and the bathrooms are very clean for camping. However,! There used to only about 34ish spots and now there are 51 spots. Its very crowded and people feel like they are right on top of each other. Your fire pit area is right next to your neighbors picnic table and/or their fire pit. They also clear cut all the bushes between spots and threw wood chips down so there is no privacy at all. I know they are worried about fires but good grief. Hence the reason it feels like you are right on top of your neighbors. The day use area is still pretty much the same as it's always been and the lake is just as beautiful but not the camping part. Thanks a lot Idaho fish and game! :( UGH!!!

This campground stretches along a tributary of the CdA river, and there is great tent camping and fly fishing. Downside is that there is limited vehicle access to most spots.

No Reception! We didn't find it since there is no reception anywhere nearby and ended up at Bumblebee. If you head toward Breakwater though, there are several other free spots to camp.

This park is only 5 years old and gets better every year.  Bathrooms and shower house are open.  Free WiFi added in 2023.  Previous host has been replaced with two new hosts who are very freindly.  One host has lived in the area for many years and is very helpful with tips about things to do and see, including where to get 25 cent ice cream cones!  The roads and sites are all paved.  The price is reasonable for an RV park in the center of a busy resort area.

Really nice and clean campground perfectly situated to explore Coeur d'Alene and the area. The camphost was super friendly and always happy to help. We were staying on a tent place but in a van. If you're planning to sleep in a tent just be aware that tents have to be placed on a gravel pad. But other than that we would really recommend this place.

Not the best place to hang out, unless you are attending an event here.

The RV map I included makes it look a lot nicer than it is, but it’s not terrible. By biggest complaint is that there are few trees.

It’s a reasonable size plot of land where you can park your RV.

They do not allow tent sites but you really would not want to camp that way in this space.

There is space to spread out and hang out side, and it has mixed terrain of pavement and gravel.

There is not much cover here so having a way to shade yourself if the summer is key to being cool in the few hottest weeks of the year.

It can get pretty noisy in this area depending on the time of year that you go, but that’s what you expect with a city parking spot with festivities around.

This was a great spot! The camp hosts, Dan and Steve, were very friendly. We loved how large the sites and overall area was, so we could back our rig in easily (40ft long x 13.5ft tall.) There were a lot of open sites, even during the holiday weekend, and even with people on either side, we didn’t feel like we were on top of anyone else. A really great central place to hang so we could check out the surrounding area.

• Had fast, reliable wifi!
• Great service for Verizon!
• Complimentary showers

As some others mentioned:

• there wasn’t shade, which made evenings outside pretty hot— but the grass was very lush (and a good place to rest.)
• there was also some road noise from the dump station and road that runs parallel

Noted, they have planted trees but it is going to be a while for them to mature before they provide shade. 90+ degrees was brutal in this tar paved. All else was excellent: sites are large, well laid out, grassy areas, hookups are all new, location is convenient to everything as this is a pretty small town, areas to walk dogs in the fairgrounds. Dog friendly in general. Breweries within walking distance.

Extremely clean, looks very new, and lots of space between sights. Lacks trees, but trees just need time to grow and mature. Centrally located with Costco just a few blocks away.

We pulled in to the public park and the attendant told us to check with the camp host even tho the sign said full.

We had our choice of two tent sites for our conversion van. We selected a shaded spot . They had ice for sale and take credit cards.
