City Of Harrison Campground
Overview
The City of Harrison Campground offers a quintessential Idaho experience nestled directly on the scenic shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene. This charming municipal park serves as a primary gateway to both expansive water recreation and mountain exploration. Known for its stunning lakefront views and welcoming atmosphere, it provides a well-maintained home base for travelers looking to slow down and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Location & Surroundings
Perched at the southern end of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the campground is situated in the heart of the historic village of Harrison. The surrounding landscape is characterized by steep, timbered hillsides and the vast, sparkling blue expanse of the lake. Its position directly adjacent to the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes makes it a prime destination for those who want to transition seamlessly from their RV to a bicycle to explore the region's diverse ecosystems.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features a variety of full-hookup RV sites equipped with water, electricity, and sewer connections to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. Guests have access to essential facilities including clean restrooms and modern showers, as well as on-site laundry services to accommodate longer visits. The layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize the lakeside setting, with many sites offering a clear, unobstructed view of the marina and the vibrant sunsets.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless entertainment options within walking distance of their campsite. The 72-mile paved rail-trail is the primary draw for cyclists, runners, and hikers, offering a world-class path through stunning marshlands, over bridges, and through thick forests. For those drawn to the water, the Harrison Marina provides easy boat rentals and slips, while the local downtown area features charming shops and local ice cream parlors perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal match for active retirees and cycling enthusiasts who prioritize direct access to one of the nation's premier paved trail systems. It also caters beautifully to boaters and families seeking a classic lakeside summer vacation with easy access to town amenities. Because of its smaller footprint and community-focused vibe, it is perfect for travelers who enjoy a friendly, small-town environment rather than a large, anonymous resort.

Thanks to an earlier than usual check-in. My wife and I were able to get in an excellent round-trip ride to Plummer before the rain came. The suggestion to have lunch at the Gateway diner was excellent. Mike greeted us when we arrived and made our one night visit here very easy.

It's a great location for access to the bike trail, boating, and having a party by the lake, but you know, keep it down. Also, it's an easy one block walk to restaurants or the grocery store. The marina, bar and restaurant are literally right next door. I'm not into boats, bit this place comes with boat slips. Wild! Didn't go 5 stars because we did go on the off season, which was still great, except I was expecting the showers to still be accessible and they weren't - easily could have been on the website. Is suggest giving the city a call if you're going at a low time of year, just to see what is what. They were helpful when I called. 👍

Let's start with Sam! She was the hostess with the mostess. She was a quirky, clever, fun, ex park ranger, who welcomed us. The location could not be better. The 72 mile bike trail which lies over the original intercontinental railroad track line (which ferried people in the Mullen, Burke, Wallace, Kellogg, ID, etc area to safety during the devastating fires of 1910) runs right by the RV Park. There is a swimming beach and a place to launch and park boats, pontoons, etc. The town is 1 block walk with an ice cream store. Yum. The secondhand store was funky but I found a little treasure. There is a bar and restaurant downtown and at the park. I don't give the RV store more than a star. Opening was whenever they felt like it, $5 for a bag of ice and an attitude from the owner, soured my shopping, which I then took to the downtown market one block away. The little park near the RV center was a nice cool place to nap. We will be back.

Stopped here one night on a bike trip along the TCD. The City of Harrison is closed on Tuesdays so it was a bit stressful not to mention the camp host is off duty on Tuesday and Wednesday. We stayed one night. Tent site. No electric. No water. For $25 it was worth it. Beautiful lake.

Love it here. The bike trail is beautiful. Good food and stores close by. You back your trailer right up to the lake. Beautiful.

Truly a beautiful place. So mismanaged. We were here for 2 days with no water. As well as promised shower amenities with no hot water for 12 days. And absolutely no compensation for the $650 we paid to be here. Buyer beware all we were told was there was a change in management they were not supposed to rent the spaces yet because they weren't prepared but no compensation for the things we were promised with no repercussions to the city of Harrison or us just we took your money and didn't give you what we promised buyer beware

Spent a great vacation there last year and we are heading back in a few days.

Sorry, but this campground was not really worth what we paid for it. The bathroom was dirty, the toilet paper would not dispense and the hand soap was empty the whole weekend. The campground host was friendly the one time we saw her, but was unavailable the rest of the time. I understand there is a renovation in the works for the future. I hope this is true, because it has the potential to be a great resource for the community.
