Be warned, a mouse made home from this location and was a pita to remove before he ate lots of curry powder and tissues. First time in 9 months having a rodent issue. I’d stay again for sure, but would be more careful in closing everything up. Bear box had gifts with was a big plus!"

Beautiful campground. Very quiet .close to clark fork river .
Nice boat launch. Day use has 1 picnic table (carry in carry out). No amenities. Tiny beach (silty mud). Quiet and pretty. 4 spots for camping (best suited for tents), 1 spot may get a 22 foot trailer in, none level
After slugging across the Idaho panhandle and the insane prices charged to out of state campers at the DNR campgrounds, finding this campsite was a "sight for sore eyes". This is a small 5 site FSCG with one pit toilet. It is a bit tight, but I was able to park our 30 ft 5th wheel fine. I wouldn't try anything bigger. There is a boat launch and day area too. A pleasant forested area with a fine mix of firs, some pines, and to my surprise cedar trees too. There is no charge here, but there is also no trash or regular maintenance, so pack it out and leave a clean campsite.
