This campground is ideally situated for Devils Tower. Rate is for seniors. There are many tall cottonwoods shading much of the campground. Be aware that B-1 is full sun. A bull snake traveled through about 4 sites. Definitely visit the sculpture opposite the administration office at entrance to campground! Generator hours stop at 8pm.

We drove to Devils Tower visitor center to hike Red Beds Tr but could have hiked up from the campground.

Nestle in this serene ponderosa forest. We were here Sun/Mon with maybe 6 other sites filled. The host kindly allowed us to stay in this Tent site as we were here only 2nights. You can see lake easily through the trees. It is one of a few level sites; all are paved though. Flush toilets.

Best part is access to Trail of the Coeur D’Alenes, a paved trail along the lake that connects small towns. Right from cg, you can walk or bike this lovely scenic level trail (except for the bridge). We biked to Harrison, ID for lunch and a brew. 16 mi round trip. Get ice cream from the Creamery on Main Street - it’s from Eugene, OR.

Charge for us was 26+7 (state park fee).
Photos of bridge, campsite are at end.

This area is right at bend in the road, bit higher off from road, but it is quiet at night as minimal traffic. East side of hwy. Great long vista plus an area up in the aspens for sitting in shade. Could handle 2-3 rigs. There are many dispersed camp sites along this road, mostly in the trees with no cell. We stayed here as hunters occupied the dispersed sites.

Loved sleeping along little rapids in the river and away from/below highway - unlike other CG’s on this stretch. There is turnaround loop above so you can walk down to reconnoiter sites if needed. Bathrooms were “not cleaned to OR State Health standards” (posted sign) and had no TP until our 3rd day. Otherwise would rate 5 star.
