The camp site was very clean. It had plenty of room for a tent and the ground was level. It has easy walking trails and is close to the beach. Kids can ride their bike freely because there are a couple of loops and it is all paved.

This place is amazing. Very well cared for and awesome campsites. Boat launch and parking are excellent as well. If you are lucky enough to find an opening here, you will not be disappointed.

The site we had was a tight corner to get the trailer backed into but we got it and the site was amazing. Our first time at Riley Creek but won’t be our last. We love everything about it!

Large shaded campsites and good separation between campsites. Boat launch was close to campsite which made kayak put-in readily accessible. local roads were lightly traveled which made biking safe for sightseeing. Short drive to Sandpoint for more bike trails and lake excursion.

Our campsite was clean when we arrived, the electric and water worked well. Nice big campsite and pretty far from the other campsites which made it feel private.Nice trails to walk along the water with our dogs, and a huge grassy multi use area next to the campground that we could walk them, all on leash of course, which is fine with us as most people can’t even control their dogs on leash let alone off leash.
My only complaint is the water at the dump station has a spray nozzle which made it impossible to hook the hose up to rinse the black water tank, so we just waited until we got back to town and payed $10 to dump where we could use the water.
A NOTE TO OTHER CAMPERS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DOGS ARE UNDER CONTROL AT ALL TIMES. WE WERE WALKING ON A TRAIL THROUGH THE CAMPGROUND, THESE PEOPLES BULLDOG BROKE THE TINY LITTLE ROPE THAT IT WAS TIED TO, CAME RUNNING OUT OF THIER CAMPSITE AND ATTACKED ONE OF OUR DOGS ON THE TRAIL, FORTUNATELY OUR DOG HAS A LOT OF FUR AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR DOG OFF OUR DOG BEFORE THERE WAS ANY INJURIES. OUR DOGS ARE SMALL SHELTIES THAT MIND THERE OWN BUSINESS SO THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT REASON FOR THE ATTACK. WHEN YOU HAVE EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE DOGS LIKE THAT KEEP THEM TIED UP WITH SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS ABLE TO HOLD THEM, OR BETTER YET LEAVE THEM AT A KENNEL, OR WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

Lovely spot and very kid heavy, which is fun to see, but is not as relaxing for older couple. Campground and facilities were clean, well maintained and lovely.
