Pitch your tent or park your trailer at our little piece of heaven along the Coeur d'Alene River and the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bike path.  Take the time to view the wildlife that live on our private 400 acre wetland.  Our campground gives you private access to the bike path and you are only feet from the river. If you want to bring your boat to explore the river and area lakes we have a small private dock available nearby. It is a dry camp so there are no hookups or toilet facilities. Pack it in, pack it out. Access is restricted to trailers less than 28 feet. Motor homes are not able to access the campground. Be sure to bring your own firewood.

This site is near the Coeur d'Alene river and next to the "Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's " bike path. This site is accessible by larger RV's.   Because of its proximity to the bike path, dogs are not allowed.  Our campground gives you private access to the bike path and you are only feet from the river.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Mike and Brenda's campsite by the Coeur d'Alene River is a tranquil escape perfect for those who love the outdoors. Guests frequently mention the serene environment, excellent for biking and kayaking, with private river access and ample space for RVs. The hosts receive consistent praise for their hospitality and clear communication. However, one review highlighted potential challenges with connectivity and reservation adjustments, indicating room for improvement in guest support.

    We love this place. The hosts are simply the best and am glad they are willing to share their piece of God's country with us. This Labor Day we jumped on our bikes and did the trail of the CDAs which for us was very nice. 27 miles round trip on our first ride, no Ebikes and I'm an amputee. We will be back and hope to See you Mike and Brenda yet again next season. AAA+++++
