IDAHO | Kit Price Campground

Kit Price Campground is one of several campgrounds resting along the banks of the Coeur D'Alene River in the Coeur D' Alene National Forest of North Idaho. The reason I like this campground is because the campsites are spread out reasonably well from each other.

Access to Kit Price is easy and the fishing along the river is great, however in order to capture the 'complete experience' of this river, I'd recommend a leisure float down during the summer months when there are some patches of white water and allot of smooth water.

Kit Price has a camp host. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table and the pads are large and level. There is no electrical service at this campground, and there are vaulted toilets throughout the campground.. Basically this is a no frills campground.

The biggest draw for us was the river. We stayed in campsite C48. This site has a partial view of the river and it the shoreline was about 25 yards away. Our site was somewhat isolated by trees and vegetation with the exception of the site behind us. The only drawback to this site was the amount of foot traffic because of the proximity to the shoreline.

Aside from floating the river, this area offers allot in terms of hiking and exploring.  There are many trails nearby to chose from. If you are a geocacher, there are five geocaches in the area, so pack your day pack and away you go.

I definitely recommend Kit Price campground, but just remember there are no services. there are no dumpstations here, but you will find a dump at the ranger station as you enter (or exit) the national forest boundaries. Reservations are available mid-May through the end of September.

Directions

From I-90, take the Kingston Exit and travel North about 32 miles until you arrive at the campground.

Happy Camping !
