Best Time to Camp at Kit Price

Kit Price experiences the full spectrum of Idaho's mountain seasons, with warm summers that invite river play and outdoor adventures. The campground's open landscape means summer visitors should come prepared with shade structures and sun protection, as the generous sunshine that makes for perfect swimming weather can also create toasty conditions at campsites. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures ideal for hiking and wildlife watching.

About Kit Price

Nestled along the pristine North Fork Coeur d'Alene River, Kit Price Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its diverse array of recreational opportunities. Here, visitors can spend sun-drenched days floating down gentle rapids on tubes, taking refreshing dips in crystal-clear waters, or paddling quietly in kayaks as osprey circle overhead. The riverbanks offer excellent catch-and-release fishing for native cutthroat trout, while scenic hiking trails wind through the surrounding landscape. Recent forest management efforts have transformed the campground into a more open, meadow-like setting, creating expansive views and abundant sunshine – though some long-time visitors note the trade-off between panoramic vistas and the intimate, shaded sites of years past.
Kit Price Campground caters to a variety of camping preferences, including RV and tent camping. Group camping is also supported, but there are no cabins, glamping, or primitive camping options indicated.
