Second visit this year, first time was in #11 at Fathers Day. Roomy sights with plenty of tent space. Which made my visits with friends/family from out of the country, the Oregon coast, across the state, and locals from Spokane and Priest River outstanding. New tables since early Summer! They are amazing solid and was able to play dice games! Yes!!!! Dice games!!!!! Which made my last night both nostalgic and filled with wonderful new memories. Hope we were not to loud for anyone that night. The only thing I could complain about was seasonal Yellow Jackets and how much they still really like Chicken in late summer!

The Pend Oreille River is low but beautiful as Always!

Oh and the Kalispels really rock with the interpretive historical trail as well. The art was wonderful! Thank you for diggin" the truth and bringin' to light how far back your history goes! It gave a great visual of how life was hundreds and thousands of years ago and how important community and nature were for survival and wellbeing. And yes well before our European invasion. Thank you Kalispel Cultural Department and all the Archaeologist involved, as well as the Artist, Botanist and the incredible translation of the Salish language throughout the entire walk.

Clean, quiet campground just over the Washington border from Idaho. Lots of trees for shade and clean vault toilets. Newport WA/Oldtown ID are within a mile with Grocery stores and restaurants. Beautiful river runs next to campground. We have stayed here before so we loved coming back.

I was at site 10. Seems like it wasn’t as well setup for a tent as the other sites. Had to out my tent up in the gravel parking area and pull my vehicle up in the space. Would’ve been too tight for 2 tents. But campground was clean and was nice to have a fire!!

We really like a lot of things about Pioneer Park. The proximity to our home is convenient, the lakes that are so close to it, then the boatlaunch right there in the park. The problem we had was the yellow jackets. The camp hosts have done what they can, but I'm highly allergic to them, so next time I'll bring benadryl in case of a sting.
