Best Campgrounds near Kellogg, ID

699 Reviews

Camping opportunities around Kellogg, Idaho range from developed RV parks to dispersed sites along rivers and forests. The North Fork Coeur d'Alene River area provides free dispersed camping with river access, while established options like Crystal Gold Mine offer full hookup RV sites. Several campgrounds in the region cater to mixed camping styles, including Lake Elsie Campground which accommodates both tent and RV camping within easy reach of Kellogg's amenities and mountain recreation areas.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the Kellogg area, with some dispersed sites requiring higher clearance vehicles, particularly along the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River. The region experiences cold, snowy winters that limit camping primarily to late spring through early fall, though some RV parks remain open year-round. Most developed campgrounds offer reservations, while dispersed sites operate on a first-come basis. Cell service can be spotty in remote areas, particularly in the valleys and canyons surrounding Kellogg. A visitor camping along the North Fork noted, "The road was crazy rough to my spot but looked like it was easier on the right side. Very quiet and peaceful by the river."

Waterfront camping represents a significant draw for visitors to the Kellogg area. Several campgrounds like Albert's Landing provide direct river access with nearly 1000 feet of river frontage, earning positive reviews for their water proximity and amenities. Campers frequently mention the fishing opportunities, particularly along the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River where one visitor reported, "The fish were jumping like crazy the night I stayed!" Beyond water recreation, the area's mining history creates unique camping experiences, with Crystal Gold Mine offering both camping and educational tours. Noise levels vary significantly between campgrounds, with highway-adjacent options like By the Way Campground experiencing traffic noise, while riverside dispersed sites offer more tranquility despite potentially challenging access routes.

    River Walk RV Park

    Ok stop over spot

    Cramped little RV park, not a campground. Does have the amenities you would need including laundry & showers. No scenic views, city sidewalks for walking your dog.

    Marten Creek Campground

    Next best thing to a cabin on the lake

    A 9 mile drive over paved mostly straight even and the last couple miles on smooth dirt road. Clean vault toilets with scattered sites in the forest. Due to the foliage, the sites feel quite isolated. There is also a boat ramp and bear boxes at each site, along with picnic tables, fire rings, and a number of covered eating areas. You are only a few feet above the lake level, so walking to the lake's edge in the morning is they most calming relaxation. No fees and a 14-day limit make this a most delightful stopover.

    Clark Fork River Driftyard

    Great place for an overnight or a couple days!

    We found this spot to be great for an overnight stop. It was a little out of our way… but you can’t beat a free spot with a great view! Camping limit is 3 days. There are no facilities, but there is a porta-potty available (and it wasn’t terrible). This is a pack it in, pack it out area, so no trash cans or dumpsters available! There are small fire rings scattered throughout the area. It was a pretty quiet spot, other than the trains going by, but that didn’t bother us at all. There was one other camper set up when we arrived around 7:00 PM, and a couple others showed up after us. The boat ramp had a lot of visitors in the early morning and you could hear gunshots in the distance from others hunting, which also didn’t bother us at all. Overall, we thought this was a pretty great find!

    Whiskey Rock Bay Campground

    Quiet place of Respite

    The road in is a typical forest road, no big deal if you're familiar with FS dirt roads. Coming in from Clark Fork you go over Johnson pass which can be blocked with snow during the late fall and winter seasons, 4wd only then. Once you're at the campsites, don't cross over the fence, it's private property and Mike DOES have active cameras and he DOES watch the property. There are no sites on the lakes edge. They're all up on the cliff which is beautiful but if you're hauling water, take it slow. Verizon is 3 to 4 bars. The vault toilet was clean with plenty of TP. I wouldn't come down here with anything bigger than 25' as the sites are small but well spaced.

    Albert's Landing

    One night stay on the river

    We really enjoyed our one night stay on the river. It’s a beautiful campground and very clean. We will be back at some point. Saw a baby moose eating leaves off of a tree right in front of us. Very cool. The river is beautiful and very relaxing to be near.

    Two Rivers RV Park & Campground

    Two Rivers RV Park & Campground

    Traveling through the area and chose to stay a couple days here based on the fact there's cell service and because the place looked decent based on their website. I have to say... it's a bit more rundown in-person, but the price is reasonable, so I can overlook that. There's a lot of road and train noise here, much like the rest of the campgrounds on this road. At the moment, the laundry is not available (which they should make note of that on their website). The showers have good pressure and are hot (just takes a couple minutes to heat up). The RV sites are the typical sardine row. The tent sites are in a grassy area near the trees. The tent area is a bit of a walk to the restrooms for late at night or early morning... especially since the owners warn about a mountain lion in the area and a bear that's been visiting the campground the last 4 years. The google reviews of the place are quite interesting--I wouldn't say the owners were friendly, but they also weren't mean to us.
