SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Sagle, Idaho serves as a gateway to diverse camping experiences in northern Idaho's Panhandle region. Round Lake State Park Campground provides year-round access with tent and RV sites featuring electric hookups, showers, and water access. Nearby Riley Creek Campground offers similar amenities along with boat-in access from May through September. The area encompasses several established campgrounds around Lake Pend Oreille, including Springy Point and Sam Owen Campground, which accommodate both tent and RV camping with varying levels of amenities and seasonal availability.
Camping seasons vary significantly across the region, with most campgrounds operating from May through September, though some like Round Lake remain open year-round. Many sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when waterfront locations fill quickly. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with potential for spring rainfall affecting access and summer temperatures typically ranging from comfortable to warm. Winter camping options are limited primarily to Round Lake and the Bonner County Fairgrounds. Road conditions generally allow standard vehicle access to established campgrounds, though some remote areas may require higher clearance. "Northern Idaho is beautiful! I'm from Kentucky so maybe this is a best kept secret or it's just not well advertised," noted one visitor about the region's scenic qualities.
Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors, with Lake Pend Oreille sites being particularly popular. Several campgrounds offer direct lake or river access, making them ideal for fishing, swimming, and boating activities. Farragut State Park, located south of Sagle, encompasses multiple campgrounds including Whitetail and Gilmore, which receive praise for their spacious sites and proximity to hiking trails. According to one camper, "The campgrounds are well laid out in that there are many sites but they are situated in a way that still gives each site space." Most established campgrounds provide basic amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, while some offer additional facilities like showers and electric hookups. The mixed-use campgrounds throughout the region accommodate various camping styles, from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV locations.

GuideClark Fork River Driftyard
Hit the jackpot!
After checking all the campsites in the area and finding them full, we had no choice but to check out the one dispersed campground in the area, which was Clark Fork River Driftyard. The name did not sound appealing, but we went to check it out and were pleasantly surprised. When we arrived midweek, there were already two campers along the riverbank, but the prime spot right in the corner was already taken with great access to the river but as soon as that person moved the following day, we took this spot and it was gorgeous. The only downside was an inconsiderate camper who refused to put his big dog on a leash, and that made us very uncomfortable, which caused us to leave early:( No luck with fishing but had fun paddle boarding on the river. Free with 3 day max stay.

LegendReeder Bay Campground
Tent-ish Site
Reeder Bay is my favorite spot on Priest Lake. Getting a campsite here in July is usually next to impossible, but I set up a Dyrt Alert and managed to snag a waterfront site for my tent the second someone canceled.
Love:
-Prime Location: Road traffic noise is a non-issue; it’s tucked away and quiet in terms of cars. Plus, there's a beach walk right from camp that leads over to the neighboring resort.
-Facilities: The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and feature actual flush toilets!
-Convenience: Firewood is available right on-site for $8 a bundle (bring cash!)
Downside:
-Generator Hub: Even though there are no hookups or potable water, about 90% of the campground was filled with oversized RVs. Because of this, you’ll hear generators running almost nonstop, which takes away a bit from the peaceful wilderness vibe if you're tent camping.

Waldron Campground — Farragut State Park
Nice
Beautiful campgrounds, deeply immersed in rules.

CDA River RV, Riverfront Campground
Very enjoyable
We wanted to dry camp beside the river and fortunately for us we got a great spot for 2 nights. Far from everyone else. As the campground is situated along the famous Coeur d’ Alene bicycle path it gave us the opportunity to explore. Great experience. Lovely new and clean bathhouse with warm water. The host (Betsy) was very pleasant and welcoming. Enjoyed getting some exercise walking around the campground.

Coeur d'Alene National Forest Big Hank Campground
OK for overnight stay
We had traveled a long way for my husband to fish, but unfortunately, with it being at the end of the Coeur d’Alene River, no fish were in sight. It was very clean water and shallow. Be aware of the choice of road you take as we had a detour which took us up and over the Thompson pass from Montana to Idaho and it was 30 miles of twists and turns with 8 to 10% grades in a 30 foot motorhome very scary. Relieved to get to the camp in one piece!

North Fork Chewelah Creek
Large rig approved - Private creek access
I had a great time here with my huskies and my cat. I updated the location here on The Dyrt app. The exact address is 3399 Sand Canyon Rd, Chewelah, WA. There are at least 10 dispersed fire rings. Many of the sites have direct access to the creek. There are multiple trails that go up and down both sides of the creek and many logs that have fallen over it so you can walk across to the other side. The entire creek is fully shaded by trees and doesn’t get much sun. It only gets to about knee-deep in some parts - it’s July right now. People use this area for snow activities in the winter. There are many large areas with hard packed dirt that are relatively level and good for big rigs. There is one pit toilet bathroom that I can see and a few picnic tables. This is an active logging road right now so trucks go by every hour or so. There is definitely wildlife out here. Be cautious for bears and other large predators. I have seen wild turkeys, squirrels, tons of different birds, butterflies, and something large ran behind our campsite last night. There is plenty of shade and also plenty of open areas for setting up solar panels with all day sun. There is no cell service up here, but Starlink works great. The creek is beautiful and clear and cold. So refreshing and if you really needed to drink it, you probably could. I have not seen any hiking trails per se, however, you could walk up and down the logging roads and explore the forest line pretty easily in many parts. If you go up the logging road to the right, there is an old mine that you can access. There seems to be little pathways spread out randomly through the forest as you continue down the road. This is the perfect spot for boondocking, unless you’re worried about cell service. I’ve been able to leave my dogs off leash and they are so happy to run free through the creek and around the fields and through the forest. This place really does have so much to offer. We’re here by ourselves right now, so we have the luxury of privacy and perfect quietness to enjoy the sound of the creek and the bugs and the birds.

North Shore Campground
Beautiful
Campground is close to boat ramp, paved, big rig friendly, no host in July, no trash service and no water available. Dogs are OK on leash, bear boxes provided. Quiet and beautiful camp. Close to Trout Creek store if you need supplies.

Guide to Sagle
Camping spots near Sagle, Idaho range from forested lakeside settings to mountain-adjacent campgrounds. The region sits at elevations between 2,000-2,500 feet, experiencing warm summer days that typically reach 75-85°F and cool evenings in the 50s. Winter camping options remain limited with temperatures frequently dropping below freezing from November through March.
What to do
Disc golf at Farragut: The park offers multiple courses for players of all skill levels. "There are loads of trails and the disc golf courses are fun!" noted one visitor at Whitetail Campground.
Hike to overlooks: The trail to Mirror Lake summit provides views of both lakes. "The nice hike to the summit to view both lakes was worth going up," according to a camper at Mirror Lake.
Water recreation: Lake Pend Oreille supports various activities from swimming to boating. At Riley Creek, one visitor mentioned, "Bring your Boat, Kayak, Canoe, Bike, & Bathing Suit (in summer). My favorite Army Corps of Engineers run Campground."
Fishing opportunities: The deep, clear waters offer good fishing conditions. "I had a great time casting off from them and even caught a couple of crappies and trout which was a nice bonus," shared a camper at Round Lake State Park.
What campers like
Private camping spots: Many campsites offer adequate separation from neighbors. At Whiskey Rock Bay Campground, "We had enough space at our camp to set up two tents, a kitchen, a fireplace, and our own bathroom. Other campers were along the bay, but we still had ample privacy."
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities. "Clean bathrooms, showers, and friendly staff. Can't go wrong!" reported a visitor at Riley Creek Campground.
Access to water: Many sites feature proximity to lakes or rivers. "This campground is rugged but beautiful. The amenities include a pit toilet and picnic tables. The beach is granite rock and the view is AMAZING," explained a camper at Green Bay.
Wildlife viewing: The area supports diverse wildlife populations. "I remember one day we saw a mother bear and her cubs as we were picnicking in the day area," recalled a visitor at Whitetail Campground.
What you should know
Road conditions vary significantly: Some campgrounds require high-clearance vehicles. "The road to get there is long and rough, I wouldn't recommend bringing a standard camping trailer, and you probably wouldn't want to take a car," warned a camper at Whiskey Rock Bay.
Reservation requirements: Many sites fill quickly during peak season. At Riley Creek, one visitor explained, "Only some of their sites are reservable, others are walk up. We did not have reservations so had to join a lottery to get one of the walk up sites."
Seasonal limitations: Winter access becomes restricted at most locations. "Swung by here yesterday (late Dec) after calling to confirm hookups were still functional. There was only one hookup spot plowed, and its connectivity was not stable," noted a visitor at Round Lake State Park Campground.
Site size variations: Campsite dimensions differ significantly between and within campgrounds. At Springy Point, a camper advised, "We enjoyed this campground overall, but would definitely recommend checking sites in person if possible to get one of the larger ones. Our site was very cramped with a small area in which to pitch tents."
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly activities: Several campgrounds offer playgrounds and recreational areas. At Riley Creek, a visitor noted, "This is a great place for grandkids. Lots of trails for walking biking. Camp sites are large and private. Volleyball basketball court horseshoe pits."
Consider shower facilities: When camping with children, having shower access can be important. "The camp visitor center has a cool place for kids to learn about the wildlife in the area with foot prints in sand, bird calls, samples of the different types of trees and more. They also have boards to rent and games as well," mentioned a camper at Round Lake.
Plan for swimming access: Beaches with gentle entries work best for younger children. "The swimming area is nice with kind of sandy beach, but there is a bit of seaweed in the swimming area. There are also two docks perfect for fishing," explained another Round Lake visitor.
Check proximity to bathrooms: With children, shorter walks to facilities help. At Sam Owen Campground, "All the sites are nice and private with lovely trees and open grassy space between them. There's a nice swimming area a short walk from our campsite."
Tips from RVers
Electrical stability matters: Some locations have unreliable power connections. At the Bonner County Fairgrounds, a camper reported, "Would have said 5 but we had a code on our electric and no way to report it as the host is not here."
Water connection logistics: Water hookup placement varies between sites. "Shared water needs a long hose," advised a visitor at Bonner County Fairgrounds.
Site length verification: Double-check that your vehicle fits the reserved space. "Reserve America reservations be sure to check site length. There are a few very short ones. We stayed in site 21 and our 34RLSA filled it up," noted another Bonner County visitor.
Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dumping. At Riley Creek, campers mentioned, "Large, Clean Camp Sites with Electric & Water. No dump in sites, so a little bit of a bummer."
