"It was a bit off the beaten path but worth it. It is also situated right by a lake, but did not see any direct access to the lake from the campground. There were clean restrooms here and showers."
"The best part of the campground was the accessibility to the lake. It was maybe a little over a quarter-mile walk from our campground to the path that goes along the lake but its work the walk."
"This was the prettiest campground we stayed in during an extensive road trip through Idaho. It was only half occupied during the end of June, so we enjoyed privacy and numerous bird songs."
"Idaho's state gem! The garnet area was closed when we went (erosion), but garnet sand was visible farther down the creek along the road."
$45 / night
"Make sure your vehicle is offroad the ride is very rough. Don’t bring any trailers, get offline map before coming. Bring a lot of water."
"Super easy access from the road, clean sites though somewhat close to neighboring sites. Awesome trails nearby for all levels"
"I found a really nice hiking trail near the campsite and spent most of the day exploring the surrounding areas.
Our site did have a fire ring and a bench with dirt and moss cover."
$20 - $35 / night
"If looking to reserve a site, the numbers start with #1 closest to the entrance on the meadow side and grow larger in counter clockwise fashion."
"We parked next to the river. No trouble with red noise in the spot, but on the other side is closer to the road. The park was clean and appears well managed."
"It’s fairly private and there are vault toilets in the near by area. There are some good fishing areas nearby that my friends love messing around, but they have yet to catch fish at this location."
$39 - $83 / night
"The camp is close to the freeway and on the edge of the lake. The camp offers tent camping, full service RV camping, and cabins for rent."
"Very cute campside with free cano’s to use"
"It’s my favorite close by paid camping ground.
There are some trails at the end of the campground that trail up and around and connect to trails that lead back to campground areas."
"This is a campground surrounding a reservoir. This campground is pretty remote, but only 2 miles from Boville. There is easy access to the water were many people fish, swim, and canoe/kayak."
"While this is not my favorite spot, it’s very close to where I live. This is my go to spot when I just want to get a quick overnight camp in."
TravelerCampground itself was nice. We were driving from Glacier NP to North Cascades NP and decided to stay here to have use of amenities. Typically we stay at free spots, but the showers, coin operated laundry, water, and dump station was all needed and appreciated. Its in a busy neighborhood, so its noisy and theres a train that goes by, but i expected the noise when seeing where it was on google maps so it is what it is. I would stay here again if i was in the same situation.
LegendThis KOA was a convenient location for us as we travel after an "errand day" in Spokane. Other than for convenience, I wouldn't make a vacation destination out of this place. The restroom facilities are clean, the cell service is great, standard KOA set up (sardine rows for RVs, tents/cabins, back-ins along the edge). However, this KOA is surrounded by residences and businesses, and also right next to very active train tracks. The trains have been quite frequent day and night... and for some reason so has a rooster (all morning, day, and evening... it's crazy). The grass here is beyond dead, so tent campers beware: if it rains, you'll be all mud. All in all, the KOA itself is well-maintained, has the amenities you want, and a convenient spot if you need something near the city... but this is NOT a place to sit back, relax, and get away from it all.
GuideThis is quite a popular spot b/c of boat launch area. Compact camping adjacent to day-use area. Fills early & no overnight parking allowed outside on CG.
TravelerA really pretty setting, though the spaces feel a little narrow. I’d definitely come back.
TravelerGrass dead and too expensive for no sewer hookup.
TravelerThe camp is close to the freeway and on the edge of the lake. The camp offers tent camping, full service RV camping, and cabins for rent. There are hiking trails adjacent, a well stocked camp store and laundry facilities.
GuideSuch a nice place! It’s a little tight to get into with a bigger rig, we have a 32ft class A, but overall it’s really nice. 5 spots with 20/30/50 amps and only $25 every 24 hours. Very quiet, nice park with expansive grassy area. Would definitely come back, it’s a really niche spot.
ScoutMy friend and I travel for work. We're all over the Pacific Northwest with a rooftop tent and a camper on the truck in order to save money on hotels. Basically we live out of rest stops and, if we can find them, nice secluded spots out in nature on our way to the next job. The reviews for this spot seemed promising. We were on our way from Coeur d'Alene to Missoula, and really need a nap to kill some time before our payroll checks cleared. From the start, the locals in this area were understandably curious. However there is a fine line between driving by to see what's with the unfamiliar vehicle, and deliberately trying to make visitors feel uncomfortable. We were only parked for about four hours, but several vehicles decided to drive by several times very slowly during this span of time. Visibly (and I repeat, visibly) staring at us with their mouths open. This location is pretty far from civilization. So I can't imagine how many places you could even need to go back and forth from in the span of an hour or two. Wherever that is it must be popular because no exaggerating, five different vehicles exhibited this pattern of behavior. Just in case there was any questions about the locals' intentions, about halfway through our stay apparently the neighbors made a deal to get some tractor work done. The tractor fired up and proceeded to go back and forth between the two properties to switch implements. I figure the average person would just bring the various implements closer to where the work is, but I'm not here to direct a man on efficient use of his tractor. These kinds of things are no bother to me, as I can sleep through just about anything. But my coworker is a little bit more of a light sleeper. So is his dog, who also didn't get much rest due to all the activity. So I figure either the neighbors weren't to happy with our presence, or theres a very popular drug dealer who lives on this road and they've got the good stuff. Because I've never seen so much repeat traffic in such a short span of time. Needless to say, we left and wish everyone there the best of times moving forward. With perhaps a gentle reminder that the parking area and boat ramp in their neighborhood is a public amenity provided by the state of Idaho. That is all.
GuideYour right next to freeway very noisy. The AC couldn’t drown out the traffic noise. Wore earplugs. Very nice people and a clean spot! Bonus the moose come to visit.
