Riley creek campground is one of the best maintained campgrounds I've ever been to. I would be nice to know the lake level before we arrived though. That would be better for planning water activities.

Riley Creek is one of our favorite camping spots. The camping spots are spread out enough that you are not on top of other campers, the sites are large and easy to back into and the restrooms/showers are always clean and well maintained. The boat launch and large swim area are also wonderful. There is a good play area for young children and horseshoe pits for the adults. Lots of trails to walk and beautiful views of the river. And if you forgot to bring something you are not too far from either Sandpoint or Priest River to get what you need. It's a lovely place and we try to make it there at least once a year if not several times.

Campground was great. We were only disappointed by the lack of adequate communication concerning a fire ban. We love making fires and had double checked to make sure they were allowed. Upon arrival we were told they were not, though there was nothing posted anywhere on the website or campground. Bring proactive in their part could’ve given us an opportunity to bring our propane fire pit instead of firewood. Nonetheless it is all good. We still had a great time and even got a call from the host letting us know we had forgotten something important at our site after we had already left and had to end up driving back to retrieve it. It was nice of him to let us know right away. Thanks.
