Spar Lake Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Tree cover is dense here, and the campground sits well off the highway down a narrow dirt road that one camper with an 18-foot trailer navigated without issue. Spar Lake Campground in Kootenai National Forest runs from mid-May through mid-November, with roughly 12 first-come, first-served sites. Amenities are basic but functional: two vault toilets and a fresh water faucet on-site. No pets are allowed. Late-season visits tend to draw very few other campers. Nearby trails are mostly single-track with significant elevation gain, so pack accordingly.

Small, secluded campground

Campground is very secluded and tree covered. First come first serve. I believe there are about 12 sites. Be prepared to take a narrow dirt road off the highway to get to the campground (I had no issues with my 18 foot trailer). Had 2 bathrooms and a fresh water faucet. I went in late season (October) and was the only one there. There is a ton of nearby hiking (Mostly single track with lots of elevation gain).
