We had a two-night stay at this nice campground, which is really close to the lake. For a National Forest campground, it was goodbut there are a few things you should know before you go.We stayed at tent site 007, which we chose based on reviews saying it was the most secluded. That was mostly true. The tent area was tucked behind some bushes, though you could still see the road and a few other sites.One thing to note: many of the tent and some RV sites are fairly open to each other, so dont expect total privacy. For most tent sites, including #7, youll have to park in an assigned spot and walk about 150 feet to your campsite, hauling your gear in.There were vault toiletsdefinitely not the cleanest, but not terrible either.Firewood was being sold at the campground for $8 per bundle. We found it much cheaper in town (about a 20-minute drive away); WinCo had bundles for $5.The water is potable and comes from an old-fashioned hand pump. You cant hook a hose to it, and there's a small valve on top you have to hold open so it doesnt spray out of the water fountain portion. The pump isnt too hard to use, but it does take some effort. Its doable solo, but expect it to be 10 times harder. My girlfriend held the water tank while I did the pumping, which worked out well.There are lots of little critters running around, so be mindful with your food and keep things secured.Overall, we had a good time. We mainly used the campground as a base for our activities in Coeur d'Alene.Theres also a 9-mile hike that starts right in the campground, and a scenic 3-mile trail just down the road.One thing to be aware of: theres a logging road next to the camp, and the trucks are loud, especially in the valley. They start pretty early in the morning.I found a video on YouTube that shows all the campsites, which helped us pick site #7it was super helpful:https://youtu.be/Pkkg58MkoyA

Beautiful spot but the logging trucks make an incredible amount of noise throughout the valley starting in the middle of the night.

Campsite 7 had a perfect hideaway beyondThe tree line to put a tent, hammock, and chairs. Spent most our time behind the tree line rather than the table provided due to the close proximity to other campgrounds. 7 has a perfect nook within the trees to feel much more secluded
