We LOVE Sam Owen Campground! The campers are friendly, the camp hosts are great and the campsites are always clean. We are disappointed that the campsite cost doesn't include 2 cars. My husband and I often must drive separately because of our demanding jobs and the need to drive back into town for a day or two while on a 10-day vacation. Paying an additional $10/day is highway robbery. I wish they would change their policy on the second car issue. Apart from that, we love Sam Owen!

We enjoyed the water and the biking on the paved roads within the park. We met family here to see the car show in Sandpoint. The only thing we missed was not having showers. The bad point was when we were leaving & found out we had to pay to dump our trailer. Last time it was free & I really feel when you pay good money for campsites the dumping should be free.

We totally understand about the wind storm that ripped through Sam Owen, however the devastation caused by logging the park ruined it. No shade at all at the campsites. Extremely disappointed.

Our family has been visiting this camp site every year for the last 61. We absolutely love this place. That being said, things definitely have been better. The sites are in shambles. Only due to the windstorm last year so no fault of the hard working hosts that go above and beyond to make it all come together. This year had its fair share of unruly guests that did not play by the rules. We are all here to have a great time and make lifelong memories but some tend to abuse the common spaces. We witnessed the sweetest camp hosts get fired for trying to enforce the park rules to a pack of misfits who felt their presence equaled ownership. Long story short we have always enjoyed our time at Sam Owen and hope that the powers that be can restore it back to its beauty and hope that those who feel it’s acceptable to disrespect the park and other campers find a different place to enjoy their vacations.
