    Camping near Coeur d'Alene spans lakeside sites, wooded tent sites, and campgrounds with playgrounds and open spaces for kids. Gilmore Campground in Farragut State Park sits close to Lake Pend Oreille, which makes it good for swimming and boating. If you're bringing kids, several local campgrounds have playgrounds and open spaces where they can run around. Farragut State Park covers a large area with hiking trails that wind through the woods and along viewpoints. You should book sites ahead in summer when campgrounds fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Bears and smaller wildlife live in the area, so hanging food or using bear boxes is important. During dry summers, fire bans sometimes limit campfires, so check with rangers before your trip. Coeur d'Alene town is about 30 minutes from most campgrounds when you need supplies or want a restaurant meal. Fishing is big here - both in the smaller lakes and in Lake Coeur d'Alene itself. Spring camping brings wildflowers while fall has fewer crowds and colorful trees. Winter camping exists at some year-round sites, but you'll need warm gear and good sleeping bags. The mix of lakes, mountains, and forests makes Coeur d'Alene campgrounds popular destinations for outdoor recreation throughout the year. Whether you stay for two nights or a week, you'll find enough to do around Coeur d'Alene. Pack out all your trash and stay on marked trails to help keep these camping areas nice.

      Coeur d'Alene RV Resort

      A bit of road noise

      Nice enough and well maintained park.  Probably 1/3 - 1/2 of park appear to be full time residents.  Sites are close with gravel for RV and a cement pad with a picnic table at each one.  Combination of pull thru's and back-ins.  Good power and water pressure, sewer hookups can be a bit challenging depending upon the tree roots and the adapters you have.  Large shower and laundry facility.  Pool is inside with a spa tub - neither are huge.  Friendly staff and conveniently located just off of I-90.  Good Wi-Fi and cell service, but no cable TV.

      Killarney Lake Picnic Site

      This is not a camp site

      Be advised—- we wasted 45 minutes today looking at this “site” due to a previous review. The picnic site is only a little pull off to access well you guessed it, the picnic area. I’m guessing you’d get the knock if you parked there- we heard from others that they patrol often. The only camping areas nearby are by the boat dock at $20 a night right next to each other in a concrete parking lot (but close to water).

      Rose Lake

      No privacy

      Loud generators next to me as I type this and wall to wall neighbors. No privacy and nothing else in the area. Wouldn’t recommend.

      Bull Run Access Dispersed

      Very pothole heavy road

      Filled with rain even though it hasn’t rained recently- wouldn’t bring a big rig with low ground clearance through. Spots are all on the side of the road with no privacy.

      Bull Run Access Dispersed

      Dispersed Campsite

      This campsite is controlled by Idaho Fish & Game and only allows a three day stay. However, there are both gravel and grassy areas to camp. I chose the latter. There is a paved bike/hiking area close to the campground. It was very peaceful and picturesque during my stay. The sheriff drove by daily, but I was told he lives near the campground. If you enjoy taking pictures of birds, there are plenty here, including Cranes. In the morning and evening there are mosquitoes and other flying insects.

      Bull Run Dispersed Camping

      Relatively Small Dispersed Campsite

      There are gravel and grassy areas to setup camp. There are a variety of birds to see including Cranes, there is accessible hiking and biking paved trails close to the campground. However in the mornings and evenings be prepared for mosquitoes and other flying insects. This is a peaceful and picturesque location. Finally, this site is operated by Idaho Fish and Game, and only allows you to camp for three days.

      Tamarack RV Park And Vacation Cabins

      Well kept except campsites are close

      The only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because it’s a high density campground. There are some nice features like a community grilling area and laundry. Plenty of showers and bathrooms and they were clean. There is a small patch of grass between each site and a picnic table for each site. The sites and roads are asphalt. Our site was level. Very clean campground.
