Dunn Creek Flats Campground

Just stayed a single night here. It's a first come, first serve site with no fee. We camped in the back of our truck. Our site was the farthest from the river but that was perfect with three doggos. Nice level site with fire pit, grill included, and a nice picnic table. While we weren't next to the river, we were right next to Dunn Creek. At this time of year the creek is dry but I can imagine it's lovely in the spring when the snow melts. Bear-proof trash cans were located at each site, there was a boat launch and dock as well as large boat trailer parking area featuring a basketball hoop. A hand pump for potable water was centrally located as well as a vault toilet for campers. This campground was a short distance from the highway but we didn't notice any road noise. What we did hear and see were helicopters as it is fire season and they were scooping water from the river for fire mitigation. The campground sites are spaced far apart which is nice for privacy. Will definitely stay here again.

Pit toilets. Trash dumpsters and can. Widely spaced sites. Right on river. 14 days free.

We have stayed at many COE parks, but never have we run across one that is free. It is all disbursed camping. The sites are spaced far apart. They circle a large open field PERFECT for star gazing. We watched The Perseid Meteor shower. Spectacular! We were fortunate to snag a spot next to the river. During the day it was hot, but cooled off nicely when the sun dropped behind the mountains. Libby is not too far away. A cute little town with much to offer. We enjoyed Riverfest. A great grocery with lots of good ready made foods at the deli. We drove the entire scenic hwy/rd around the lake....up east side to Eureka/Canadian border and back down the west side. It is a full day, but worth it. The views are amazing if there is no smoke from the summer wildfires. No AT&T service. There is a free dump station in town.

This place was super open and unique. It was super quiet where we were and the stars were just absolutely incredible. We came in late August and mornings were pretty Dewey and cold but the afternoons heated up a lot and the days were super nice. I wish only that there was a little more river access but we may have not just gotten the best spot. Overall great place!

We stayed here off season, we pulled our trailer through a pull through site on the edge of the river. You could walk down to the river and fish in the river, but it wasn't really a place for people or pets to play. The sites are primitive with fire rings but no power or water hookups. 

The campground is pretty small, has big trash bins to avoid bears, but it didn't look like it was a problem when we were there. 

There are roads on both sides of the river, one being the highway, but the river helps drown out some of the road noise. The mountains are tall on either side of the river valley and so the sun goes down a little sooner than expected, but the views from camp are nice. There is a big open area in the center of the playground for people and pets to run around. 

We would definitely stay here again.

Such a gorgeous spot off the river. Has multiple site with picnic table and fire rings. A vault toilet available. Also possibly water, but it wasn’t working when we went.
