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 isnt 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.

Camp host Daniel was so helpful and informative definitely will be coming back!

@JonasHF20DAABB · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #1

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

@HeidiJF7D786B0 · Camped on Jul 29, 2023 at Campsite #2

Restrooms were clean and I love the outdoor kitchen! The Host was the hostess of the mostest. He actually guided us into our spot with our trailer. Will come back!

@BarbaraBBCADF1 · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #14

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.

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #15

Beautiful area; close to Sandpoint; on our way home. Big campsites.

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #10

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!

@MaryM8380528 · Camped on Jul 3, 2023 at Campsite #12

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

@RandallR467599 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #14

Stayed two nights, had a great time. Clean rest rooms and showers. Great kids beach and place to launch your boat!

@DAPHNEP2784421 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #12

Great place to camp with all clean facilities.

@BillA137463C4A · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #19

The campground is great and the older couple who I think are the weekday hosts are awesome. The younger couple (in their 30s-Man with a beard and heavy set blonde woman) were very rude. They told me I couldn't be 1 minute past 12 getting my stuff out so I paid for another day. At 4pm I pulled my rv out to take it home and was going to return to tent camp for the night and fish the next morning. At 4:39 PM they cancelled my reservation without refund and without my permission. They have issues. Beware of them. Again, in their 30s guy with beard and heavy blonde that live in the bright blue bus at the entrance.

Absolutely magnificent!

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Sep 2, 2022 at Campsite #12

Excellent Campground! Great facilities with the best camp hosts in existence. An accurate review of this place would seem unbelievable until you had been here a time or two. You have to experience this to believe it!

@DebbieF4738575 · Camped on Sep 1, 2022 at Campsite #4

We always enjoy our camping trips here. Found this campgrounds by accident and we go back at least two times a year. No matter where we are. Always make sure we stay here. The camp hosts were so friendly and helpful.

@JaneL3877914 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #3

No opinion, just didnt care for the campground

@StevenA2029523 · Camped on Aug 26, 2022 at Campsite #2

Camp hosts were most friendly and bathrooms were very clean. We love this campground!

@MichaelT855650 · Camped on Aug 26, 2022 at Campsite #5

Very clean and well kept campsites. The camp host was friendly and informative.

@RochelleB80075 · Camped on Aug 22, 2022 at Campsite #20

We checked out the site we had reserved the day before our actual reservation and actually no-showed it. The host was helpful in showing us our reserved spot. There also was a beautiful beach. However, this was during a heatwave and there was no water cooling off availability for our Scotties. No observed pet area, no great place to walk dogs. Site 20 was about as far from Hwy 2 and you could stay so probably would not have much road noise. I believe this campground is best suited for petless campers that have boats. Not us. Grassy field area was also being renovated and was unavailable. Host was also courteous in messaging us early in the day saying early check-in was available since site was already vacated. Also had dump available. Nice CG but not for us.

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Aug 19, 2022 at Campsite #14

This place is the finest of fine! We’d rather stay here than not.

@CarolB2589812 · Camped on Aug 15, 2022 at Campsite #1

Just there one night, but found a spacious quiet spot near the entrance away from the traffic noise. Restrooms were clean with very nice showers, and they have a separate area for washing dishes. The hosts were very helpful and gave me a booklet for the Washington Cascade Loop which was very helpful. Such a beautiful area.

@MarjorieR19723 · Camped on Jul 9, 2022 at Campsite #9

This is a great spot, clean facilities and lovely little swim area. The only reason we chose 4 instead of 5 stars is that we stay in a tent. This site is noisy, too close to the road.

@GREGS749 · Camped on Sep 10, 2021 at Campsite #11

The camp was spotlessly clean, very hospitable hosts, and the sites were generously sized. The riverside location was nice. The only downside was the very nearby highway with lots of traffic noise.

@BarbaraB717 · Camped on Sep 8, 2021 at Campsite #11

Priest River, still a good place to camp.

@MaryN545 · Camped on Sep 7, 2021 at Campsite #1

Very nice campground. Clean, well maintained, spacious campsites. Restrooms sparkling clean. Will definitely come back!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
