This was a gem of a find! Quiet and peaceful with great weather. We actually slept under the stars without the rain trap.

Really lovely small campground. The lower loop is essentially the whole campground. I think the upper loop is only a large group site. Every site seems to have views of the lake. We stayed for 2 nights in #7 and 1 night in #14. 7 was probably a better site (essentially on the water, albeit down a long steep ridge), but 7 has a slightly steep walk to your parking. Wasn’t an issue for us. Harrison, a very small town is nearby (don’t skip the ice cream there). There is a short, but steep trail to 2 docks for fishing and swimming. Would very much stay again.

Beautiful quiet campground on Coeur D Alene lake. Most sites have a great view of the lake. Host was great. 2 nights were not enough of this terrific spot.
