This is a very large state park. The sites are long and have lots of room between most sites. Only a few of the pull thru sites were close to each other. The streets and sites are paved. The only negative is that there are very few bathrooms for the number of sites at the park and with no sewer hookups, used by most everyone, so there is sometimes a wait for a shower. There is lots of bike riding as well as lake activities. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Similar to a previous post, I am hesitant to extoll the virtues of this campground as I fear it will be full the next time we visit. I will say that if you are looking for an RV resort with all the amenities, then this park is not for you. This is a wonderful, forested campground; where you can have the experience of camping from the comfort of your RV. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They placed us and our traveling companions in the newer Gilmore Loop, in a wonderful "companion" site. These sites allow two RV's or vehicles traveling together to be in a shared site. Sites were paved, level and equipped with tables and campfire rings. Note there is no sewer connection at your site, but an easy to use dump station in the park. No Wi-Fi or cable, but this was the great camping feeling we are always looking for. Campsites were well spaced; the free showers were hot and spotlessly clean; and deer and other wildlife are nightly visitors. The park is halfway between Sandpoint and Coeur d'Arlene, and on the shore of the lake; making it a great base camp for activities. We plan on returning for a longer stay!

Exceptional state park campground. Interior paved roads and sites. Many trees separate each site, but some sites are able to get satellite TV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Oh my gosh! I almost don't want to tell anyone about this park, yet I want to make sure it gets the kudos it deserves. We spent the prior week in and around Yellowstone. This was a stop for us on the way back home to WA. The staff were wonderful, the sites were amazing (yet we saw some which would be icky locations, so choose your site wisely), and the park is so much fun! While there's no sewer hookup - there's a dump station in the park. The showers were complimentary (amazing for a state park) and VERY clean. You don't realize how big this park is until you get there. We only stayed a couple nights, but are already planning our return next summer - except we're going to stay a week next time! There is so much to do!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Farragut State Park was a great campground to stay at. We stayed at the new Gilmore loop, that has water and electrical hookups, paved pull thru's and backins, clean restrooms and showers, fire ring, picnic tables and good spacing. What made this campground so fun was all the things you could do there. Great hiking trails, swimming, boating, and wildlife watching. Only negative is the lack of sewer drains. You have to drive a short distance down the road to do so. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful campground. A very large park, we camped over Memorial Day weekend, and although it was full, it didn't seem crowded. The park was a Naval training base during WW2, all that is left is a museum in the old Brig. The volunteers were very helpful in trying to locate graduation pictures of my husband's father in 1943. We camped in a pull through site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a great state park in northern Idaho. It is capable of large group events, has a model airplane field, it's close to Lake Pond Oreille. The sites were level and paved in the area we were in. There are dump stations but no sewer connections. A great firepit was back of us, the horseshoe pit next to it. We had 50 amp hookups and our satellites worked! We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park serves its purpose as a convenience to the Silverwood amusement park---after all, that is where most people will spend their time when staying here. However, it would be hard to enjoy this park if it were a stand-alone park. Items that make this less desirable than other parks are: Low limbs from trees scraping roof and side, dirty sites--few have any grass, layout of services (sewer, water, elec) on some sites is not convenient, every site has road noise with those along the adjacent highway 95 being EXCESSIVE, and many sites are far from level. Lastly, I noted that the condition of several sites is horrible with holes and pits and dips that are sure ankle and knee twisters. One the plus side, there are both nicely shaded and nicely sunny sun sites. Restrooms are nice. There is a nice volleyball court and I noticed horseshoe pits. While many sites are very very spacious, there are a few that are unexpectedly close to their neighbors. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a family reunion so we had 4 sites. Sites were very roomy with dust and quiet hours were not strictly enforced. Staff was very nice and laundry area was clean. Got to showers at 7:00am but no hot water so get there early. Felt that price was great for what we got as hotels seem pricey for the area. Overall would stay again IF going to Silverwood. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This RV park is handy if your planning a visit to Silverwood Theme park. Easy walking distance to the theme park entrance and you can get your hand stamped for return so you can use your rig for lunch, etc. Sites are large with plenty of space between rigs and laid out well. Interior roads are gravel but dusty, sites pads are gravel but dusty, ground cover between rigs is almost non-existent. Only a few sites near the entrance have any ground cover at all. There are many pine trees but most seem stressed by lack of water or disease. There is no irrigation except for small areas by the store and central bathrooms. Park is located next to US Highway 95 which is a very busy road. We stayed in a site as far as possible from the highway but the noise was still excessive. Silverwood Theme park is a nice well run park but their RV park need major upgrades. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
