"No laundry or bathhouse. Would probably pass next time and keep going to Cour d’alane to find a something a little nicer as a vacation spot."
"Yes, this campground is right off I 90 and yes there is road noise BUT where else can you camp, visit a mine and pan for gold. Such rich ( pun ) history. Really great host. Tree shaded spots."
"It's near the Idaho and Montana border. I found plenty of time to just chill while looking for a more long term spot."
"Is a little close to highway and there are trains all night, but the whole valley is like that. Tall trees on site nice and shady. Enjoyed our stay!"
"They do have around fifteen RV spots a few small cabins, and a handful of tent spots. The tent spots are around the perimeter of a gazebo that had electric hookup."
"Large clean bathrooms and showers. Park like environment.
Was warned a Moose family likes to walk through, but didn’t see them."

Who Knew?!!

"Nice e Place right off 93, right on Clark’s Fork River, some Train Noise, but Picnic Table, Fire Pit and Restrooms"
"The I-90 highway runs fairly close to the campground & the noise can be distracting at times. The bigger noise maker is the train that runs on the other side of the Clark Fork River."
"We love going camping and fishing at Sylvan Lake, always wanted to try the Yurts but also book out, great place for family ."
ScoutNice large tent sites. They also have a geodesic dome you can rent. Website was not set up yet.
ScoutClean campground our site worked great for our Sprinter van. Site is crowded for larger pull through but it appeared to work for the campers. Site had outdoor kitchens and several showers. Would stay again if in area. If you purchase wood they deliver to your site
TravelerWe were not able to stay at Gilmore because it was closed for the season so we stayed across the street at the Peterson campground. The sites were nice but basic. Sites had running water, fire pit, and picnic table. The sites were also very close together. The showers were closed for the season and the bathrooms were not well maintained. They had no toilet paper, lots of bugs, and the lights were out. We got there late and had to pay in the morning. Had we known the cost, we would not have stayed. With the site fee and a required day pass recreation free to the park, it cost $74 for one night. That is insanely overpriced. If amenities are going to be closed and not well maintained during the slow season, they need to lower the price. Would not stay again.
RangerLots of amenities including pool, bathrooms, hot showers, fire pits with free wood and free access to canoes. The sites are small and close together but being at different levels you get some privacy. Giant pines also provided shades that was quite welcome.
One of the reason we spent some time there was to ride on "Trail of Coeur D'Alene". The trail was not close enough to ride from the campground but could be reach by car in about 20 minutes.

RangerThe 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.
ScoutIt's near the Idaho and Montana border. I found plenty of time to just chill while looking for a more long term spot. I did laundry at the lakeside laundry mat for less than $5 got some honey and chocolate at the gift shop, some fresh produce and essentials at the Sinclair station, and enjoyed nearby recreation spots for the scenery. The motel is too rich for me. If you are in transit and looking to recharge, there's plenty of affordable and free resources. If you are looking to stay to yourself you'll be alright, if your social, people are pretty friendly, just don't hang around public spaces after 7 if you don't like rowdy noises.
GuideNice e Place right off 93, right on Clark’s Fork River, some Train Noise, but Picnic Table, Fire Pit and Restrooms
RangerThese sites have all the usual things I have come to associate with an average campground: Fire pits Benches
When I went, we made a reservation before hand. I recommend doing this as it seemed there were reservation tags on most sites.
I was able to get some views of the water and did some light exploring. There was areas with cover for shade.
My site had some wood near the fire but it was unclear if it was left by the previous campers or if it was provided.
Great area for cloud watching and stargazing, but sunset was my fav price part of this location:
I really like they Heyburn State Park area in general. There are other campgrounds nearby not listed on this app which are also nice. If you just go to this area you will find many tranquil moments between walking trails, docks, or just sitting by the campfire.
GuideThis park is very well-maintained by the on-site hosts. Very nice, and green grass areas between all of the sites. There is a decently stocked main clubhouse where are you check in, that also has a very nice pool connected to it. They also have a nice on-site playground and basketball court for kids to play. The sites are decent size and we were able to park our 28 for a trailer and park our full-size pick up sideways in the site. The only downside, and our oversight was not all of the units have sewer hook up. The owner had mentioned there are only 23 full hook ups a lot of time in the park, so plan your stay way ahead. If you only have a water and electric hook up there is still an on-site dump station. Considering how close this park is to Silverwood it was worth I’m going without the sewer hook up.
