Elevation2550 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryAt 2,550 feet elevation, the campground occupies a meadow-like clearing where the North Fork Coeur d'Alene River flows past smooth river stones. The recent tree removal has opened up views of the surrounding Coeur d'Alene Mountains and created a transition zone between grassland and riparian corridor. The partial sun exposure reveals more of the area's topography than it once did. Moose browse the riverbanks at dawn. Mule deer graze in the meadows at dusk. Osprey circle overhead, hunting the river. Hummingbirds work the wildflowers that have filled in where the forest used to be. The landscape tells the story of recent change, with native plants gradually reclaiming the opened ground.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe campground does not offer lodging, such as cabins or lodges.
