Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Park your RV, overland rig, pitch a tent, or sleep under the stars next to the Coeur D’ Alene River. Be advised this is directly next to State Highway 3. If you are a light sleeper, or road noise bothers you, this is not the campsite for you. At the camp, you can launch your kayaks at the river to go for an adventure down through the Chain Lakes, all eight are accessible by the river adjacent to where you will sleep. The bird and wildlife watching in this area is world class. Ospreys, hawks, turkeys and other animals commonly hang out in these parts. You can go for a swim at one of the sandbars, take your dirt bikes or side by sides down Killarney Lake Road to access an extensive network of trails and dirt roads into remote wilderness. There is no cell service, no water or electrical hookups, or toilet. As beautiful as it is, your experience will not be “glamping” unless you come with all the comforts you personally desire. You can hunt on the forest service land by 4th of July Pass, fish on the river, or on the Chain Lakes (with the proper permits, of course). There is a access into the water from camp but it is quite steep. For easy access to the water, use the docks or boat launch at Killarney Lake or Bull Run. Pets and kids are allowed at your own risk. Be advised the highway and river are hazardous for off-leash animals and rambunctious toddlers. Please send a message if you have any questions.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a beautiful riverside location, perfect for those seeking stunning views and easy access to bike trails. While the scenery and swimming are highlights, some campers noted issues with noise from the nearby road and concerns about water quality due to contamination warnings. Despite these drawbacks, many visitors appreciate the peaceful ambiance, the space for activities, and the convenience of nearby amenities. It's a spot that attracts both return visitors and those looking for a relaxing getaway by the water.

Third year staying at this site- and as always- it was perfect. Land is maintained very nicely, with a picnic table and fire pit, plus tons of space to stroll along the river. Beautiful location! We’ll be back if you’ll have us!

I like single camps. Plus: Views were great, close to bike trails, finding the camp with directions worked well. Minus: brushy some with thorns, it should be cut back to 10 feet wide. A level spot would help too. Gate should be repair to allow it to swing then add a hipcamp sign. Overall a nice easy assess well worth a stop over.
