This campground has been neglected for sure, but it’s still great for camping. I go camping to get out in nature and Big Hank delivers. On the week of July 22 I was the only there for 3 straight days. Sites are well spaced, most with trees and privacy. Bathrooms ok for camping. It was very buggy, pushing the tolerable limits. The drinking water was suspect. The river is right behind the camp. I awoke to a herd of elk in my site one morning. Slightly better than boondocking but far from glamping.

24 bucks a night for what’s probably the worse looking campground I’ve seen in my life. Sites were destroyed, cut logs lying all over the place, half rusted BBQs, everything’s tore up, terrible vault toilets and still they want 24+ bucks a night. This place should be first come first serve, not reserved by folks months out. Also, don’t drink the pump water.

We went at the end of the camping season (last week before it closes) and found it to be a good closer. Little traffic, only one other camper the entire time we there. The camp hosts came to check up on us and made us feel welcomed. We were told they were going to get renovations in the foreseeable future so people complaining will get satisfied. Overall, great campground with river access. No light pollution to there is amazing star gazing.

The logging company hired by the Forrest Service has devastated this camp ground. Horrible management by Coeur d’Alene Forrest District!

The forest service has closed it right now and they have a logging company in there removing "Hazardous" trees. It's more like they are cutting down most of the trees. It is heartbreaking to see how open and terrible it looks now. All those reviews about privacy and beauty are gone. Of course it is still close to the river, but be warned when you come up here, it has totally changed from the beautiful and private campsite it once was

Great campground, lots of space and privacy. The river is beautiful.. a word of caution if you have a large trailer some sites are difficult to back into due narrow road.

Great campground way up into the hills. Lots of space in between sites and very private. Pit toilets, Seasonal, Camp Fire Rings and water on site. No Verizon cell phone signal for at least an hour from this site.
