Best Tent Camping near Plummer, ID

Love the spot i chose-shaded RV site $35 per night. Very quiet except for occasional street noise because I was near the tent site and tent camping. Very close to this beautiful historic town with scenic views like no other. Highly recommend.

The tent sites are very close together and are right near to a road.

The RV sites are decent with a bbq and a bench. There are spots to have a bonfire, but it won’t be on your site if you have a RV.

There’s a cute bridge that separates the RV camping from the tent camping with various day use areas. There is a park that’s across the field from the RV cites with a playground and bonfire spot.

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.

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.

I camp in my vehicle, so I rented a tent site. They gave me a RV site because they were not full, same price as tent site.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The campsite was nice and level. The bathrooms we are very clean, there was only one shower and the ladies, but it was very clean and well-kept.

I may have to come this way a couple more times in the future, for work. And if I do, I will definitely camp here again!

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.

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.

The Bowl and Pitcher campground sits on the Spokane river just minutes from downtown Spokane. It doesn’t feel like it’s close to town. The area offers miles of hiking and biking trails. The campground has rv sites with water and electricity and tent camping sites. There’s a dump station too.

This park is very attractive. It appears to be well maintained and cleaned.

BUT... Do not tent camp here. I will admit I was hoping to hammock camp (I bring a tent too in case), and it was clear it would not be a camping environment.

And, if you are an RV camper, there’s no spot to really hang outside. There’s no fire pits or tables on the sites.

We pulled in to the public park and the attendant told us to check with the camp host even tho the sign said full.

We had our choice of two tent sites for our conversion van. We selected a shaded spot . They had ice for sale and take credit cards.

Arrived at 4:30, in our 24ft camper. All RV sites were full. When driving out the camp host, John, greeted us with a smile, and confirmed RV sites were full, but one Tent site was available, and we could stay in the parking spot. Fire pit Table Garbage Water Cleanest bathroom ever Quiet

We checked out campground and the giant white pine but decided not to camp there due to its proximity to a busy road. Lots of logging trucks made it awfully noisy for tent camping. Might be OK in a RV. The 14 sites are spacious and pretty, and only $8 per night. No electric hookup available. There was a network of trails for hiking and biking originating from the campground.
