Good spot that had showers as a nice surprise. Also excellent dish washing station that wish more recreation.gov campgrounds had.

The camp host seemed really nice. The camp spot have lots of room and isn’t jammed in there like most campgrounds mostly shade. Has a very nice beach for swimming but if you have a dog you can not use it you have to use the dock area which is small and does not have a good beach only enough room for 2 small groups. We had to sit on the dock and then we were in the way of the 2 boat slips and no where to swim as there is no swimming off the dock. That is why I am giving only 3 stars.

Nice sites, clean facilities. Close to the highway so there’s a lot of road noise.

This park was small and friendly with nice, clean bathrooms, hot, high pressure showers, dishwashing area, and large, shaded sites. Camp host was friendly and helpful.

Our favorite campground ever! I say this for several reasons:
1. Very friendly and efficient camp hosts.
2. Great amenities.
3. Fantastic location, right on Priest River and on edge of town.
4. Often good fishing.
If you have not been here you need to try it!

Had a great time. Our site was right off the water with a beautiful view. We were right next to the playground which was great because we had young kids that could play while we could see them from our site. There was a lot of foot traffic past our site as campers must pass it on their way to the playground or beach but we didn’t mind. The camp hosts were so friendly and even had little treats for the kids. We will definitely be back
