This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Clean, quiet, beautiful!! HOWEVER, it has become increasingly difficult to camp due to the removal of "first-come, first-served" sites. We are very upset to see the high volume of sites left unused, although the campground is complete "reserved".
I hope you will consider reinstating the availability of a few non-reservable sites....and/or find a solution to the problem of reserved sites going unused for others.
Thank you, Sheri

A small, quiet campground on the Pend Orielle River. Great hike showcasing local Native history. Near Marshall and Bead Lakes. Shady.

Large sites, plenty of trees, and clean restrooms. Really a little jewel of a park. It is a little close to civilization (Newport and Oldtown are less than 10 minutes away) but if you hate disconnecting completely from the outside world while camping you will find it easy to get cell coverage here. We were here during the heat wave in Spokane, where temperatures hit 104 degrees, but it was much cooler and far more comfortable at Pioneer.

Interpretive trail was wonderful to walk and great for family experiences. The Pend O'Reille River and shoreline was so much fun and a great place for rafts, paddle boards, etc.
