6286 Main Street Bonners Ferry, ID 83805
Anglers and anyone happy to fish for rainbow, brook, or cutthroat trout from the bank. Arrive Thursday or early Friday to land sites 12, 13, or 14 before they're gone. Summer highs in the 70s, cool nights, dense tree cover for shade and privacy, this is the sweet spot.
No showers, no trash service, and vault toilets that aren't wheelchair accessible. If you need hookups or cell signal for work, this place has none of those. First-come-first-served means no guarantees on a busy holiday weekend.

Summer brings the most reliable access and weather. Expect highs around 65–78°F and cool nights dropping to 40–50°F. Water levels drop after spring runoff, making fishing and launching small boats easier through July and August. The campground closes for the season as autumn arrives, and snow blankets the area through winter. Even on busy holiday weekends, the 22-site layout keeps the feel intimate.
Best access and weather in summer (65–78°F); peak season Memorial Day–Labor Day; riverfront spots fill fast.
