"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."
"Very quiet, cozy location. Stayed here twice; both times was an overnight stay while waiting to pick my Scouts up from summer camp."

"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."
"We 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."
$60 - $70 / night
"Yes, 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."
"Very friendly staff and the mine tour is well worth it. Especially for kids. Will definitely stop here again."
"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."
"Standard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise"
"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."
"Large clean bathrooms and showers. Park like environment.
Was warned a Moose family likes to walk through, but didn’t see them."
RangerLots of amenities including pool, bathrooms, hot showers, fire pits with free wood and free access to canoes. The sites are small and close together but being at different levels you get some privacy. Giant pines also provided shades that was quite welcome.
One of the reason we spent some time there was to ride on "Trail of Coeur D'Alene". The trail was not close enough to ride from the campground but could be reach by car in about 20 minutes.

TravelerTo start, what a gorgeous area! Quiet, calm, nice.
At first when we rolled into our spot I thought I was going to be in huge trouble- drive through spot with a wicked drop off on the right side (camper door side) with the fire pit and picnic table at the bottom. I pictured kids falling, food mishaps, general non fun trudging up and down. Well, it actually turned out ok: we moved our 5th wheel as far from the edge as possible which allowed for a decent platform and we ended up having a birds eye view of what all the kids were doing. If that's still a problem, be mindful of what site you are signing up for, meadow ones are available.

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.
ScoutI’m typically a dispersed camper type but needed to stay close to the city for work. The RV spaces are tight and I was 6ft from neighbors on both sides, but created a nice social environment if that’s what you’re looking for. Lots of amenities like pool, bathrooms, fire pits with free wood, if you’re looking for a resort experience this is a great clean and friendly place to be.
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!
TravelerNice camp set in the woods. Close to I 90, but far enough away to be pretty quiet. Great scenery. Free fire pit wood. Free canoe use. Nice facilities. Wanted to stay longer.
GuideAny place that has free to use canoes gets a pet high score in my book. The sites were on a hillside, but pretty level. There wasn’t much space on the sites themselves so you’re pretty packed it. Communal amenities were nice. Shared kitchen, dishwashing and recreation areas made it so you didn’t need to use your site for much more than essentials. The bugs were NUTS when we went. Can’t fault the sites for that. It was really cool but bring the bug spray and remain vigilant.
TravelerWe stayed for a night with our cab over camper. Site 204 was great cause it was secluded and out of view from every other camp site and up a little hill with a “cliff” and full hook ups. They offer free firewood and anything on site is complimentary, first come first service and such as far as boats and other fun toys. Next time we’re through, we’ll definitely be staying here.
GuideCDA (Camp Couer d’Alene) is really pretty awesome. After a few nights at more rugged campgrounds - this place was great. Friendly staff and a few spots to choose from prior to the holiday weekend were a bonus. $41.04 for a tent spot isn’t cheap; but lots of amenities: free canoe use, free firewood, hot showers, and some common areas (not real common due to Covid) including a small pool.
