  Gilmore Campground — Farragut State Park

  Huge campground that is part of Farragut state run park.

  The Gilmore Loop Campground is one of a handful of campgrounds in Farragut State Park. It is a large campground boasting 91 rv/tent sites. There are several ADA sites as well as the most amenities I have ever seen in a campground. Even tho you could spend days exploring and playing in Farragut State Park, there are quite a few things to do outside of the park also.

  Some amenities for this campground include:

  RV/Tent Camping - (Some are ADA)

  Onsite Tables/Fire Pits/Water/Electricity on all and Sewer on some

  Nice and Clean Flush Restrooms and Showers

  Firewood for sale onsite by the hosts and a well stocked General Store/Visitor Center in park

  Payphones and extra Parking

  Dump stations for RVs

  Extensive Day Use Facilities - (Including 3 professional disc golf courses and a large Lake for a $5 fee)

  Boat launch/Swimming/Fishing

  Museum and Historical Sites

  Loads of Hiking/Biking/Horse Trails

  Some amenities close to this campground include:

  Bayview - (A small lake town about 5 min to the East)

  Silverwood Theme Park - (About a 10 min drive to the West)

  Coeur'd Alene and Sandpoint - (Both 33 min drives to the South and North respectively)

  The negatives for Gilmore are all subjective. I personally prefer a much more secluded campground, I can see this place being packed during the on-season. The sites are closer than I like, tho I have seen much closer sites elsewhere. The tent pads are gravel filled squares, I Like the feel of the ground under me while camping and these will necessitate a mat/airbed. Overall I love this place as a day use, and see myself camping here soon.

  Camp Coeur D Alene

  Nice campground

  We’ve stayed here a couple times now. It is a nice place. It is a little run down though. The car, tent camping is great. You have your own plot under trees. If you tent camp is the rest of the camp ground you will need a pad under your tent. I ground is pretty course gravel with up to 1.25” sharp stones. Firewood is free though.

  Camp Coeur D Alene

  Great little private campground in the Wolf Lodge Bay.

  This is a great little private campground in the Wolf Lodge Bay, and their added free amenities made this campground a really fun alternative to the usual state park/national forest campsites I go to more often. The swimming pool was well kept, and we really enjoyed using the free canoes. They had a lot of decent looking free firewood, but we were camping during a fire ban and weren't able to use it. (This, of course, is no fault of the campground. But if we camp there again it will be nice to have free firewood!)

  We originally booked tent site 3, which I cannot recommend as it had no shade or privacy, but the attendant was very kind and let us switch to a shadier site for free. I think this was tent site 4 or 5, which were much better. Tent site seven looked really nice as well and I would recommend that one. But if we go back we will definitely be booking the island tent site 201, it looked to be the best one of all.

  Wolf Lodge Campground

  Well taken care off

  Was looking for a tent site close to Coeur d‘Alene and found this park. The tent sites are on a grassy area by the creek. Unfortunately, ground is very uneven and the interstate with heavy truck traffic is right next to it. Felt like the traffic was going through my tent. Park is packed with RVs and families and there is no privacy whatsoever. Otherwise very well taken care off with little shop and nice clean restrooms/showers.

  Breakwater Campground

  Great Tent Camping and Fly Fishing

  This campground stretches along a tributary of the CdA river, and there is great tent camping and fly fishing. Downside is that there is limited vehicle access to most spots.

  Breakwater Campground

  Very primitive

  Great tent camping. Also, it's a great starting point to some really good dirt bike trails. Be prepared for no cell service. 0 amenities. it's just a place to pitch a tent and have a fire. And it cost nothing.

  Whitetail Campground — Farragut State Park

  One of our all time favorites! Great mountain biking!

  Tent camping at Whitetail campground has plenty of site room and good privacy. Camp hosts did an excellent job of keeping the campground clean. Restroom facilities and showers well kept and clean.

  Beauty Creek Campground

  Handy spot off I-90

  We stayed one night in our tent, while traveling west. There are a number of short walk-in tent sites. Water and outhouse were nearby. Occasionally, we could hear traffic on the road.

  Rainy Hill Campground

  Quiet overlook camp

  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. Seemed like there was 5-6 spots for car / tent camping.

  Clean and comfy

  This is a little Campground/Rv Park right off I-90. It has about 15 RV spots and a handful of tent sites with a fire ring. There are clean, warm bathrooms with showers and very friendly management.

  Telichpah Campground

  Small, quiet, free...what more could you want?!

  We wanted a place to tent camp as close to the Pearson, Idaho end of the Hiawatha Bike Trail as possible. This little (5 camping sites) primitive campground suited our needs perfectly. It was clean, no frills, had a well-maintained vault toilet, and there was even a small creek for pleasant background sleeping sounds. Filled the bill perfectly for our needs. Do note that one sign en route the campground refers to it by it's former name, North Fork Joe Campground. That confused us a little. Also, please note that we didn't see a pump or other water source in the campground.

  Campground St. Regis

  Welcoming, Dare I Say Cute

  Marvelous gift shop and office host - she was honest and positive. There wasn’t any tree cover between the tent sites and it’s maybe 100 yards off the interstate, but that doesn’t vote this campground off the island. Lots of trees and the surrounding hills are so nice to be around. I’ll conclude with safe and charming.

  Wolf Lodge Campground

  Clean and convenient

  Made my reservation for an overnight stay over the phone on my way there. 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. Ample amount of restrooms and showers available, that were spotless and well stocked.

  Next to a loud and busy highway. Clean tho.

  This campground is next to the interstate. I called last minute as we were driving through and was offered a tent site next to “the creek”—turns out the creek is the ditch between the highway and campsite. It’s loud, and bright with lights from the highway. More of a trailer park. But it’s extremely clean and well maintained and friendly hosts, maybe better for RVs.

  Bell Bay Campground - CLOSED

  Some sites on the water

  Nice, pleasant campground on the bay. Some tent sites overlooking the water, or can be used with truck camper or van. Some sites across the road can see the bay. Not big rig friendly. Water available. Clean pit toilets. &24/$12 with senior pass. 36 miles from town, but takes about an hour to get here. Stayed 8/1. Campground closed after 9/25.

  Copper King

  Great little spot to relax

  This is a free campground. There are five sites with generous spacing. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There is a privy and one bear box in the middle of the circle. This campground doesn't really accommodate large RVs, but it's great for tent camping. Although it sits along the river, it doesn't really have great river access. The campground is no more than 10 minutes from Thompson falls, so it's easy to get to town if you need to.

  Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

  Hawley's Landing

  We went in April, before things got busy and noisy. We were the only ones in the tent only walk-in sites, which were primo. Nice access to the water/docks, and all sorts of trails to access from the campground, including bike trails. It was pretty pricing for only using a tent site without amenities, and there were decimals involved while doing the math. Really?? I can't attest to what it's like during busy summer days, but it was nice in the spring.

  Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

  Not sure if I'd go back

  Stayed in the tent sites in Chatcolet, we got lucky and were in a site that was a bit more level. Noticed a lot of sites are unlevel. I also thought we were going to be closer to the water but its like a 5 min walk or you can drive/bike down to the playground, boat docs, water. Not sure if I'd go back or find a different place to go.

  Emerald Creek Campground

  Gorgeous small campground

  This was the prettiest campground we stayed in during an extensive road trip through Idaho. It was only half occupied during the end of June, so we enjoyed privacy and numerous bird songs. Care and creativity were used when building the sites; ours had tent sites on 2 levels, and another had little stairs carved into the dirt. Our site was very large and had very stately evergreen trees and a trail heading out. Sites for RVs seemed nice, too. There were clean vault toilets and a pump for potable water...all for $6. There's a nearby site (4 miles away) where garnets can be sluiced For at a Forest Service site. We didn't go there but maybe next time, as we are eager to return!

  City of Harrison RV Park & Campground

  Beautiful Campground on Lake Coeur d’Alene

  This campground has good sites, tent camping, full hookup spots, and is within walking distance to the public swimming area, the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, and restaurants and a store in Harrison. The campground has a boat dock that is for campground guests only. My only complaint is the bathrooms. While they are clean and nice and have functional showers, I don’t like that there are only 2 of them, meaning if two people are either showering or using the bathroom, you can’t get in. Overall, one of the best places to visit if you want to hang out on CDA Lake.

  Whitetail Campground — Farragut State Park

  Beautiful Lake

  We stayed in Whitetail tent campground, in the spring. It was not busy so it was peaceful - didn't hear other campers but we did hear some coyotes! Perhaps with more people the campsites are close, but I think that's the case when you stay in any state park campground. Close water spouts and the bathrooms were probably the nicest campground bathroom I've ever seen. Lake is beautiful, there are loads of trails and the disc golf courses are fun!

  People who love their jobs? Count me in.

  Come by to experience some of the best service ever.  They welcomed me into the gift shop, gave me a tour, had me talk to the owner… and what DON'T they have?  Volleyball, a pool, restaurant/bar with stage, foosball and ping pong, huge acreage for hiking on one side and ATVs on the other, but… and a tear is going down my right cheek as I type this… no tent sites.  They will only be down to a handful of these cool cabins next summer.  And it's a busy vs. a peaceful feel within the campground.  Overall, these guys are marvelous.  Come witness the healthy glow.
