"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 ."
"For this being our first long distance trip from Boise, I’m extremely glad we stayed here."
"5 minute walk to theme parks under the highway. Site 74 backed up to a fence. Had no neighbors. But was furthest from the parks."
"It's next to Silverwood theme park, so you can camp the night before, hit the theme park early, and then crash after a fun filled day. The spaces are close and very open."
$45 - $60 / night
"This park is very well-maintained by the on-site hosts. Very nice, and green grass areas between all of the sites."
"The location is right next to the biking trail and river boardwalk a short distance to the city park. The management was helpful and friendly. Not much ambience, but a great location."
"Numerous well spaced sites with water & electric. Near Lake Pend Oreille. Grab the kayak or boat & enjoy!"
"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."
"Standard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise"
"Only complaint would be car noise (we stayed right by the road though), but it wasn’t that bad. Bathrooms were in AMAZING condition and staff was so friendly."
"But very clean and well maintained, including the bathrooms. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Multiple water spigots close by."
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.
LegendWe spent 3 weeks at Liberty Lake Regional Park while visiting our son and grandkids in Spokane. The road in is a little narrow, but once in, it’s a great little campground. Most of the sites are fairly level. We stayed at 2 different sites over 3 weeks, and both were level. They are close together! They provide a fire pit if you want one. Picnic table, water and electric. The dump station is quite a drive, back out, up the hill. There is a clean shower/bathroom building and a beach within walking distance of the campground. While we were there the campground hosts did a fantastic job of keeping everything clean and tidy. Several hiking trails, including an equestrian trail, waterfall, fishing and lots of wildlife. There were deer in the campground every day, we saw moose, owls, pilated woodpecker, and hawks. We were there over July 4th weekend and they had a fireworks display on the beach.
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.

GuideTucked back behind a neighborhood of fairly luxurious homes and sitting near the lake, these sites offer a nice spot to catch a breath while traveling. We stayed at tent site 10 and it has been perfect. $27/night for tent and $38/night for RVs. Pet friendly, great host, facilities, and plenty of space.
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.

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.
ScoutWe used to camp here in the 80s and it was always peaceful and beautiful. And we liked it because its got free showers and the bathrooms are very clean for camping. However,! There used to only about 34ish spots and now there are 51 spots. Its very crowded and people feel like they are right on top of each other. Your fire pit area is right next to your neighbors picnic table and/or their fire pit. They also clear cut all the bushes between spots and threw wood chips down so there is no privacy at all. I know they are worried about fires but good grief. Hence the reason it feels like you are right on top of your neighbors. The day use area is still pretty much the same as it's always been and the lake is just as beautiful but not the camping part. Thanks a lot Idaho fish and game! :( UGH!!!
TravelerFor a regional park, my expectations were very much exceeded. My group was 2 people/3 dogs with a Class A Winnebago & an Outback. We spent several weeks between May-July. The camp hosts were amazingly nice and kept everything peaceful and clean. Staff are also readily available throughout the park. Not huge, but more spacious than many other sites, we had plenty of space to set a good area outside the rig without feeling like we were intruding on anyone else nearby. There's a nice bathroom/free shower and camp sink. Heading north from the campground, you can explore the canyon and hike up to a cedar grove. South of the campground is the day use area (sprawling and lovely lawn) with more bathrooms and a playground and tons of picnic tables with BBQ. The swim area is daily small, but enough. The dock at the swim area was great in the early part of the season - even caught a nice bass. As more people came in the summer, we used the dock to launch a raft to get around the lake for fishing.
The only downsides:
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.
