Blackwell Island RV Resort

"The prior review about it being a couple miles from I-90 is probably for the county park at the actual lake."

"Gilmore Campground Farragut State Park, Idaho Lake Pend Oreille
Who Knew?!!
I crossed the Montana / Idaho state line this morning and was pleasantly surprised at the AMAZING scenery ."
"And Lake Pend Oreille is simply breathtaking.
We had limited Verizon connectivity — 2 bars at most."
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.
ScoutThis spot is a great little spot for dispersed camping. We got in after sunset and was a little weirded out by the nailed leg and hoof to the tree, but stayed only because we were tired and didn't want to try to find something different.
ScoutLovely camp host, picnic tables, pit toilets, hiking trails, good cell service
GuideThe Gilmore campground was clean and well-managed and we found the camp hosts super friendly and helpful. The campground has vault toilets and a few flush toilets as well as private showers with hot water. Campsites were well spaced from one another. The campground has a big green for frisbee, horseshoes, etc.
Farragut State Park has abundant hiking, water activities and interesting interpretive exhibits. And Lake Pend Oreille is simply breathtaking.
We had limited Verizon connectivity — 2 bars at most.
The village of Bayview, a few minutes’ drive or vigorous bike ride away, has a well-stocked little mercantile that carries all the necessities.
As out-of-staters, we didn’t mind paying twice the in-state rate for our site. Our state income taxes support our own state’s parks — not Idaho’s.
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
TravelerFirst time taking the godson camping and this was the perfect spot. The godson's mom told me she went to this area when she was young and then I saw it here on The Dyrt. At first I entered the coordinates listed on the page and it took me to the opposite entrance to Colville National Forest - there are no places to camp on that side due to the steep drop. Make sure you follow the written directions - just follow Sand Canyon all the way out and it will take you to the proper entrance to Colville National Forest. There are a few different pull-offs to camp sites. The one we stayed at was a bit further down the rock road. It is a loop off the main road and there are several camp sites along the creek. There is also a vault toilet - very clean - in this area. The godson loved it - he even played in the freezing cold water. I enjoyed the peace and quiet!
TravelerHas vault toilet by pavilion. Pavilion area for day use and a few campsites across the road. Does have picnic table and fire ring. No trails directly from site but some on the way to it. Gravel road and very narrow. Lots of Atv’s and motorcycles on road and some vehicles driving through. Really nice in middle of the woods and has shade with the trees. Dogs like it too!
TravelerIn a suburb and RR tracks. Lots of traffic.
TravelerWe were able to work with employees with parking extended because our rv needed work done so we could really drive it. They were understanding and sweet. Great spot. Walk away from Taco Bell, Starbucks, Walmart and more!
