Best Campgrounds near Medimont, ID

The Medimont area in northern Idaho provides several camping options along the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene and nearby waterways. Bull Run Access offers dispersed camping with riverside locations approximately 5 miles from Medimont, while Rainy Hill Campground provides free camping with both hilltop and water-adjacent sites. Established campgrounds like Lost Moose Campground and Camp Coeur D'Alene provide more amenities including cabins and RV hookups. The region includes both primitive camping opportunities on public lands and developed facilities with varying levels of services.

Road conditions range from paved highways to rough forest roads, with some campgrounds requiring travel on gravel or dirt roads. Most developed campgrounds operate seasonally, typically from May through September or early October, though some dispersed sites remain accessible year-round when weather permits. Mosquitoes present a significant challenge in summer months, particularly at waterfront locations. Campers should prepare for varying weather conditions, as the region experiences cool evenings even in summer. Reservations are recommended for developed campgrounds during peak season. One camper noted of Rainy Hill: "Easy access only 20 minutes from interstate - quiet except the bird songs and occasional coyotes. No mosquitoes in May but imagine it could be very buggy in summer months since it's next to a river/marsh."

Proximity to water represents a primary attraction for many campgrounds in the area. Several sites offer direct access to Lake Coeur d'Alene or the Coeur d'Alene River system, making them popular for fishing, swimming, and boating. The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bicycle path passes near several camping areas, providing recreation opportunities beyond the campsite. Public lands managed by Idaho Fish and Wildlife offer limited-stay camping options with fewer amenities but greater seclusion. A visitor to Bull Run Access described it as "a very beautiful spot, with multiple small lakes, deer grazing around, and plenty of wildflowers." Tent and RV sites vary significantly in privacy, with some offering secluded settings while others feature more open arrangements. Cell service remains spotty throughout the region, particularly at more remote campgrounds.

    By the Way Campground

    Okay in a pinch

    Your right next to freeway very noisy. The AC couldn’t drown out the traffic noise. Wore earplugs. Very nice people and a clean spot! Bonus the moose come to visit.

    Round Lake State Park Campground

    Well kept with lots of amenities and activities

    60 dollars a night and checkout was at 1. Lots of amenities and we enjoyed the family environment. Definitely glamping but a perfect beginner spot. Lots to do; Fishing, hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding etc. Great spot!

    Blackwell Island RV Park

    Coeur d’Alene Lakefront RV park

    Nicely located and well maintained large rv park on Lake Coeur d’Alene. This park offers both lake front and non-lakefront spaces with full hookups. This park offered free but poor WiFi unless in or near the club house. Kayaks speedboat in pontoon boats are available for rent from the front office. This park could use more foliage between sites otherwise a nice place to stay near downtown, stores and restaurants. We would stay here again.

    Shadowy St. Joe Campground — Idaho Panhandle National Forests

    Great Campground

    The Shadowy St. Joe Campground is a great place to stay. It has 14 sites total. With one taken by the camp hosts, all are paved, with space for 2 vehicles each, have fire pits, and a picnic bench, and electricity. 7 sites to reserve ahead of time on the meadow side that has grass and is spacious. There are 6 first come first serve sites, 2 on the meadow side, and 4 along the river. If looking to reserve a site, the numbers start with #1 closest to the entrance on the meadow side and grow larger in counter clockwise fashion. There is a day use area you can also reserve, with charcoal grills, and multiple picnic benches. There are several vault toilets and all are kept very clean by the 2 wonderful park hosts. There is a boat launch area for day use, with a small fee, but if camping there is no extra charge. There is 2 docks and if staying multiple days you can leave your boat on the dock overnight. It is supposed to be a no wake zone, but the signs have warn down, so we lost a bumper to our boat from crashing into the dock, from passing boat wakes. There is a couple of potable water stations available, with small hose spouts, but no water hookups at the sites. The sites are electric with 50amp, 30amp, and 110 plugs available. No sewer hookup at the sites, but there is a dump station at the fairgrounds in the town of St. Maries about 10 miles away. Phone service is spotty, texting easier and lots of dropped calls, but we like to unplug when camping. Dogs are allowed with no limits, just to stay on leashes at all times. The Lazy St. Joe River is boat passable up to St. Joe City, and all the way to Lake Coeur d'Alene if you want to adventure for a full day in the boat. Great for fishing too. Make sure to have Idaho invasive species tag for the boat if you are from out of state. The Sheriff and Park Rangers patrol daily and check. St. Maries has 2 grocery stores, and sports shop where you can get supplies, and fishing licenses. The town also has great shops, a swimming pool, parks, restaurants, and ATM/banks. This is a great little gem in the Gem State.
