The area is beautiful. The company that maintains this campground does not do their job at all. The picnic tables are falling apart, theyre patched together with pieces of wood that are uneven that is throughout the campground. The weeds are so tall in some of the sites its impossible to even put down a tent. The paths that go to the beach are not maintained well. You are literally walking through weeds to get there. They do nothing to clean up the beach of all the pinecones that have fallen from the trees. This campground used to be beautiful. It was turned over to this company and it is absolutely pitiful now the forest service needs to oversee this better and maintain it. It is a shame because this is one of the best campgrounds on Lake Pend Oreille and the company that maintains it has destroyed it.

The camp host for skipping stone/ dancing shadows (Kelly) is extremely rude and vulgar. I witnessed her screaming and swearing at multiple guests as well as very small children. She is a janitor with a God complex. The lake is a beautiful place that I will continue to visit but I'll have to think twice before I stay at a poorly managed Sam Owen again.
