Beautiful little campground, clean and paved, and the campground host was one of the best I've seen in a long time. She was friendly and efficient. We accidentally parked our RV in a first-come first-serve tent site. The host "politely" explained why the site was for "tent only" and was not condescending while explaining.

Great campground overlooking Lake Coeur D Alene with water/dock access. Camp host very friendly and keeps the campground and camp sites clean.

Please note the restrooms are not ADA compliant though they are marked as being handicapped accessible. The campground itself is well kept and lovely. The hosts were great. However the lack of lighting and a difference in height from the ground to the concrete pad of the restroom resulted in a fall and broken bones. The management company and/or forest service needs to fix the lack of lighting and the approach to the restrooms to bring them into the advertised handicapped accessible status and to prevent future injuries.

Simple campsite, my location was along the edge of the hill with a gorgeous view of the lake. Has a nice little trail along the edge but does go by camps. Really nice dock area at the bottom of trail. Simple check in and vault toilet, well taken care of!

We booked Lower site 6 and maybe it was my fault for not scrutinizing the picture, but 6, 7, and 8 are all walk-in sites. Not only that, but on a pretty steep hill. I don't mind breaking a bit of a sweat to set up camp but I had no idea this was a walk-in site because it wasn't mentioned in the site details. The campground itself is small and gorgeous and quiet but I am upset that they don't tell you which sites are walk-ins on the website. Additionally, I highly recommend to the campground they provide food boxes in the sites that are walk-in since bears frequent the area. It was really hard to walk the heavy cooler (that wouldn't have been heavy if I knew ahead of time it was a walk-in) up that steep trail back to the car and had to leave it there because I couldn't manage to haul it back and forth every night. Again, I don't mind putting in a little work, but I want to know about it ahead of time.

Beautiful setting, quiet, exceptionally clean and well-tended. I didn't have the oppurtunity to meet the camp hosts but I could see their work. I camped at 010 Lower and was directly overlooking Lake Coeur d'Alene...maybe no better spot for a tent or car camping. This spot was also directly across from potable water and a short walk to the vault toilet.
