About
Bonner County campground on Lake Pend Oreille with 29 RV sites and 14 tent sites in a scenic wooded setting. No electricity or sewer dump; the county does not offer RV water hookups due to cross-contamination risk, but potable drinking water is available for every two sites. Six vault toilets, plus flush toilets near the boat launch. Public boat launch on-site. Season runs the weekend before Memorial Day through the weekend after Labor Day. Reservations via ReserveAmerica; walk-ins welcome on a first-come basis. The county gives 29 RV and 14 tent sites on its parks page and notes that tent site 15 does not exist; another county page says 15 tent sites. There is no electricity, no sewer dump and no RV water hookups anywhere in the campground, though potable water is shared between every two sites. Open from the weekend before Memorial Day to the weekend after Labor Day.
Fees
RV sites $22/night resident, $30 non-resident. Tent sites $15-$20 resident, $20-$25 non-resident.
