Great spot to camp and enjoy the river. Have had no problems with any remarks from the other review. Owners are very nice and help in anyway. I have a dog and it’s great to let her go around and play with other dogs. All campers have friendly.

Beautiful location on the Coeur d’Alene river. The maintenance person thinks he knows more than he does and when he’s wrong he gets offended and complains to the manager. The manager, also the owners wife, is very confrontational when her, her family, or her friends party time is disturbed in any way such as some dog barking. Said group’s are held to a different set of rules such as not having their dogs on a leash, not picking up after their dogs, and being noisy past 10PM. They have problems with their electrical power and don’t have water at all sites and in the name of fixing the power will turn it off without notice and they find a request to be notified ridiculously demanding. Stay away from this place and these people.
