We heard other vehicle damage but miraculously none to anyone in the Park. He was helping Daughter & Family get to the Beach. Also hit our nice Campground hosts pickup, & the other nice hosts car. Another tree snapped off & hit our older well cared for Boat in the overflow parking. The 7 yr old still fearful of wind & trees. She was helping the Boys dress to flee to the Beach. Our Son in laws quick thinking when he yelled tree most likely saved his Wife’s life. Our grandsons were in a pickup when a tree came down on back totaling the pickup. In all we & all others were lucky with we heard 100 or so trees falling all around. The trees where we had been sitting with our Dogs & at Picnic table. At least 5 trees fell in our site where just pulled out. We moved quickly, but were trapped with all. First tree fell next to our trailer with myself & grandsons in it.

This information is accurate as of the date of the review. Extra vehicles are $8 per day as is the day use area. Each single site daily fee is $20 to $22. We found many available campsites as the campground was fairly empty. We visited during the week so I can't tell you how busy it is on the weekends. Location/Driving instructions: From Sandpoint, Idaho follow this GoogleMap.įees And Reservations: You may reserve your campsite on.

At $20 dollars per day without electricity or water hook-ups the dump station should be free to campers in my opinion. This is the only park I have found in Idaho that charges its campers to use the dump station. RV Dumping Site: There is a RV dump station in the campground, however, it is not free to use. Phone service: Our ATT cell phones got only spotty reception. There was a bear warning posted at the time of our visit.Īdditional Camping Opportunities: We have reviews for these nearby campgrounds Springy Point Recreation Area, Riley Creek Recreation Area, Round Lake State Park and Priest River Recreation Area(Mudhole). Wildlife: Deer, black bear, small mammals and birds live in the woods around the campground. Swimming: There is a swimming area but no lifeguard. You may put your boat in here but there are no mooring facilities. They have hauled in sand to make a wonderful sand volleyball court next the lake and there is also a set of horseshoe pits there.įishing: Fishing is availalbe in Lake Pend Orielle, check the regulations here.īoating: Pend Orielle Lake is quite large but the boat ramp and dock are small. Recreation: Recreation here involves the lake whether you are fishing, boating or playing in the water. There is a sign with details about it in the "recreation" section. There is also a pavilion which may be reserved for your group. Picnic Area: Sam Owens Campground has one of the largest picnic areas of any campground we have visited. Pets: Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash. In 2014 the price was $8 per bundle and the bundle was bigger than most. I did not see any handicap equipped campsites though.įirewood: You may purchase firewood from the camp host. With the paved roads, getting around here would be easy. Handicap Accessible: The restrooms are handicap accessible. Restroom: Restrooms were located in each loop and were clean and well stocked, however, there were no showers. Garbage Services: There are bear resistant dumpsters in multiple locations in the campground and I highly recommend you use them. Water: You will find a nice pressurized water system with good water near your campsite. Host on Site: There is more than one camp host. Finally, Skipping Stone Loop has shorter gravel driveways and is set on a steeper slope but borders the lake. Dancing Shadows Loop has one restroom set in the middle of the loop and has gravel driveways. Scented Leaf Loop has paved driveways and also come with 15 foot by 15 foot tent squares and is on a slope. Red Sun Loop has gravel driveways and is fairly level. The roads in the campground are paved while the driveways vary.
Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring with attached grate. Refer to the map in the campsite section for details. Even the volleyball court is down by the lake.Ĭampsites: There are 80 campsites situated in 4 loops. Recreation here involves the lake whether you are fishing, boating or playing in the water. There is little undergrowth and is mostly mowed lawn. It is set on rolling hills with a mature forest. Sam Owens Campground is located on the eastern shore of Pend Oreille Lake.
