"Great little spot with close access to lake beaches and hiking trails. I stayed for 2 nights with my dog and it was very enjoyable."
"My boyfriend and I stayed here with our three dogs. It’s a beautiful campground that is well maintained. It is just far enough from the city that it still feels like an outdoor adventure."
$25 / night
"Tucked back behind a neighborhood of fairly luxurious homes and sitting near the lake, these sites offer a nice spot to catch a breath while traveling."
"Regardless, I still enjoyed my time with my dog and the tent sites were nicely shaded so I wasn't baking in them."
$49 - $55 / night
"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."
"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."
$45 - $85 / night
"If in B, C or D try to get a high number (farther away from the road)."
"Wish there was space to sit outside at the picnic table but spaces are too tight - we would be on top of our neighbor’s sewer. Very level spot and no street noise."
$50 - $300 / night
"This is a great stop point before getting into Idaho. The campground was very well maintained and great to stay at. It is located in between Spokane proper and Coeur d'Alene (so Spokane Valley)."

"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 ."
"And Lake Pend Oreille is simply breathtaking.
We had limited Verizon connectivity — 2 bars at most."
"Standard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise"
"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."
"There is easy access to both Silverwood and Coeur D'Alene Idaho outside the campground. Apparently there is a former U.S. Naval brig turned museum at the park as well."
"Farragut State Park in scenic Northern Idaho is a huge campground that is open year-round."
RangerStayed here on our last night returning home from Colorado. We had the whole campground to ourselves. It’s a great spot for one or a few nights. Heavy woods. We had a great spot with walk Down to a view of Hayden lake. Would camp here again. Very winding road to get to the campground but good pavement. Pit toilets. Fire wood is for sale . Forest service campground with senior national parks discount.
RangerMokins Bay Campground is located on Hayden Lake. We camped here June 2016. This campground has vault toilets, although very clean. They have potable water and buckets to use for putting out your camp fires nightly. There is a little bit of hiking area right close, but the groundskeeper said to not swim in the area around the camp. This part of the lake is used for fishing so there are lots of lures and hooks in the water, not safe. There really was no beach area for swimming here either and the camp DOESN'T sit right on the lake.
LegendVery clean with all the trim :) space between units, a dog park and playground, and nearby to restaurants while being just far enough on the edge of town to feel as such

LegendIt is hard to find many positives about this place. It has nothing to do with the people, but only about the "campground". It is a parking lot. No grass. Very tight. Lots of seasonal folks. There is a dog park. It Is right on the river. It is right on the bike trail. It is close to town. Beyond that. There is nothing that I deem attractive or desirable about this place. So for me personally, we passed. Please check out the photos and judge for yourself.
ScoutQuiet, spacious, beautiful smell of pine trees. Wouldn’t want to drive in after dark though. Two large dog parks. Park is gravel and you may need to do a little leveling, but it isn’t bad at all. Had enough room to park my 44’ rig and my truck right next to it. Would definitely come here again.
RangerCampground Review:
This is a great mid-week spot. We camped on a Wednesday in late June and there were only two other spots occupied and it was fantastic. We did notice that almost every spot was reserved for the coming weekend. Even if there were lots of other campers the sites around the outside of the loop have lots of trees and brush separating them offering decent privacy. The spots are quite sizeable with multiple options for tent location. We selected site 12 because the trail to the overlook and down to Hayden Lake runs right next to it. The trees are fantastic and their interwoven canopy offer near constant shade. One nice feature we had never experienced was the gigantic picnic table – you can really spread out on this thing!
Access to the lake is super easy, although it does involve a steep section of trail. We took the paddleboard down to the water and had fun watching all the fish dart away from us. If you are into to fishing there are plenty of good spots accessible from the campground.
Overall this is a very nice spot, especially if you are going to utilize the lake for recreation of any sort.
Product Review: Primus Firehole 100 Camp Stove
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time – on this trip I tested the Primus Firehole 100 Camp Stove.
This stove has some nice features – namely it’s super easy set up and compact shape and size for transport. The recessed knobs help with it’s packability for sure.
The key feature I enjoy is the integrated flexible fuel line that stores compactly under the stove and pops out easily for super quick set up. The little magnets on the side panels used to hold up the wind screen are great and add to the intuitive and fast set up.
Most importantly – the flame is even and has quite a range from super low for simmering all the way to high output for fast boiling. The only real drawback was that the twist-click igniter did not work every single time, but I’ve never run into one that does and this one always caught eventually.
I am overall very pleased with this stove’s performance.
ScoutI’ve never been so harassed before by a campground for having a pet. Definitely not pet friendly. There is literally one tree they make you stay at and you can’t walk the campground with your dog.
ScoutGreat new campground right outside of Plummer. There's been some sort of entertainment each night we've been here, fire dancers Friday and Saturday, a 4th of july bbq, 2 bands and fireworks at midnight tonight. There's several different sections to stay in, a dog park, lodge and laundry area. I would definitely come again.
