"Lovely campground, close by Sandpoint, nice hosts, late checkout (2pm), hot showers.
Be on time, gate closes between 10pm and 7am"
"We were also very close to the neighboring camp site which ended up be great because they were friendly and our kids all played together, but overall I prefer more space between camp sites. "
$35 - $75 / night
"Today I check out a great little campground/recreation area on Lake Pend Oreille( locally pronounced Pond Array")."

$30 - $116 / night
"Also, very amazing views of Lake pend Oreille and the mountains, which surround you. It is down a beautiful peninsula in Hope, Idaho."
"There are beautiful lakeside campsites with access to the lake. Unfortunately, those were all reserved when we stayed there. This place can get busy in the summertime, so you reserve early."
"There are some switchbacks, but it's worth the drive. There is a nice outhouse and plenty of spots - follow the signs. You're right across from the firehouse."
"Scenic 15 minute drive up from Sandpoint. It's a paved two lane road with a number of switchbacks - I think even larger rigs should be fine as the hairpins were pretty wide. "
"Pretty lake. Good cell service even though its tucked away from the main road. The owner was very nice and helpful."
"Nice spot close to Sandpoint. Not crowded. Was able to slide right in on the Friday night when Spokane was having wildfires out west."
$50 - $105 / night
"This best part of this campground is that it is located inside the Sandpoint City Beach Park which is within a short walk to the very cute downtown of Sandpoint."

Asphalt pads. We had as I call, circle the wagons layout. 4 RV spots are placed around a common grass area. This would be nice for a group, but a bit weird for a stranger placed in this circle. Other sites configurations are available. I was assigned this site, I never reserved it. So check while making your reservation. It is next to a golf course, so it was nice, getting us and our clubs to and from our site. A discount for golf is available for RV park guests. All utilities worked well and were well placed. A gate code is required after 5pm, so pretty secure.
GuideThis is a very nice COE facility with excellent water access to Lk. Pend Orielle! Small but very quiet with almost too much shade..
ScoutThis camp/rv site is absolutely amazing! Peaceful and right in the middle of nature! Rv site #3 was an easy pull thru! Easy set up with water and electricity! Owners Amber and Ryan were very welcoming, helpful and answered any questions I had! You will not be disappointed camping here! We will be back!
ScoutCute, rustic campground with pit toilets and a potable water pump. Not a lot of privacy, but if you need a place to stop and camp for a night, not a bad choice at all. Pit toilets were very clean/well maintained. Site #7 is definitely the best site for tent camping.
GuideI met some cool Idaho locals that said they’ve been coming here since they were kids!
Lots of campers in the area so if you’re looking for solitude it’s not your best option, but an incredible spot!
The guy camping next to me was fishing and I wish I had but I forgot to get my Idaho license! The fish were jumping like CRAZY the night I stayed!
The water is honestly my favorite part about this spot! You’re not camping right on it as there are some bushes and an incline, but every spot has a tiny little 1 minute walk down to the water which is awesome.
