Island Park

We stayed at site 5 which is right next to bathroom/shower 1. great view of the lake and mountains. you can comfortable set up 2 (4 person tents) and have a rooftop tent on a car parked near your site. I prefer this campground during the spring vs summer.

Fantastic

We came at the perfect time of year and basically had the campground to ourselves. In looking at the campground overall, some of the RV sites are too steep or unbalanced to be good with automatic levelers. We had site #11 and it was fine, but our friends were assigned camp #10. After multiple tries, we could not get their motor home leveled. Luckily the ranger came along later that evening and our friends were able to move to site 7.

I understand not having full hookups since the campground is so near water, however, I would recommend upgrading all motor home and trailer sites with a water spigot. You don't want to be on the road with a full tank of water for multiple reasons. We have a long rig and had to really juggle it around to be able fill it up at the campground.

My final suggestions would be:

1) Provide some hiking trail maps or a board of trails for folks that like to walk. We looked at the entrance booth and there was nothing posted. There are many ways that this area could be enjoyed and an activities list would be very helpful.

2) Make note on the campground website that boat rentals don't begin until May (it was not extremely clear that recreation on the lake was so seasonal). We had 65 +/- degree days and had we understood that none of the marinas rented boats until after May 1st, we would have brought out kayak.

We love Island Park Campround!!
The rangers are always super friendly and helpful.
The campsite and facilities are always clean,
and the views of the lake are just beautiful.
Plus it’s close to home !! Perfection!!

Place is awesome!

Clean campground with great views

Beautiful lakeside location and lovely surrounding area for springtime / fall camping. Upper sites are really nice, with many on a slope to keep views interesting, so there are a few steps to navigate. Lower 'overflow' sites are basically an open flat area better for RVs rather than tents. The 230V electric hookup option at some sites was excellent for charging the Tesla (bring your mobile cable & 14-30 plug adapter). One slight downside to our site #41 was that the gravel tent pad was rather small, barely large enough for our "4 person" tent (100" x 86"). Will be back, but probably not during the summer when a higher altitude & forested campground would be a cooler option.

We always enjoy our time at Island Park with family and friends camping l, fishing and boating on the lake. Campground is always clean and bathrooms with showers are a major plus.

Our campsite had lots of stairs, we had a toddler & a senior. We tried contacting someone to change it since it was empty but had no success. Restrooms, dump station & rest of camp had no water.
Pros, good views of lake

Park rangers are very polite I have been going there for 10+ years now
