Campground recommendations?

My boyfriend and I (30-somethings) are planning a trip down to Sandpoint for the first week of September. Our goal is to find a good campground for the week where we can maybe get in a couple days of golf (we don%26#39;t mind a short drive), hiking, etc. and just some relaxing nights by the fire. We were originally immediately in the Sandpoint area, but are open. We are tenting though, so will require somewhere with showers and are hoping to be by the water.

All the sites I have found on the internet (dozens so far) don%26#39;t really give any info other than the basics. Can anyone make any recommendations?

Thanks so much!

Campground recommendations?

A little south of Sandpoint, at Athol, is Farragut State Park. We spent 4 nights there last summer, and were very impressed with the park and the facilities. There are lots of shower buildings and they were very clean.

Another popular spot (where I have never camped myself) is Round Lake. I understand from other Idaho natives that this is ';the'; place to camp in the Sandpoint area. You might want to try and locate a website and have a look.

I understand Idaho has been quite dry again this year. Can anyone advise if fires are allowed at the moment?

Campground recommendations?

Agree that Faragut State Park is a great central location to both Sandpoint and Coeur d%26#39; Alene, and probably has the most to offer campers in terms of facilities. Our summer has been dry but it did rain on 7/22/08 which helped in terms of fire danger. Current fire dnager is at high, camp fires are allowed in official campground sites.

Contact the Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce. Call or visit their website. They can give you recommendations of where to go, stay, play, etc.

Cute local hotel, Monarch Mountain Lodge is good, clean, affordable place to stay if you don%26#39;t camp.
