Our Campground Stay:
Blackwell Island RV Park is a great destination campground with marina, swimming beach and spacious sites. The location is perfect to enjoy all the attractions of Cour d’Alene and the beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene. Many campers towed boats to take in all the water activities. Best feature was the dog swimming area. There were trails to take the dogs and the park clearly welcomed dogs. The park is well maintained with level sites.
What to do:
Boat, swim, enjoy Lake Coeur d’Alene. There are many boat ramps and marinas on the lake. Boating and water sports are very popular on this beautiful lake.
Take a drive around the lake to explore the lakeside communities and enjoy the beautiful lake and mountain vistas.
Eat at Cedar’s Floating Restaurant near the Blackwell Island RV Park. Great food and beautiful views.
Explore the bustling town of Coeur d’Alene for shopping and dining. Stop at the Coeur d’Alene Brewing Company for a fun vibe, good beers and food.
Golf at the posh Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course. This is a bucket list course but well worth the price – according to the husband.
Take a day trip to Sandpoint, a quaint town on Lake Pend Oreille. Another spectacular mountain lake. Sample some brews at Laughing Dog Brewing in nearby Ponderay – dog-friendly inside and out.
Hike the Tubbs Hill Trail, an easy, dog-friendly, 2-mile loop just south of Coeur d’Alene.
Chili & Cedars’ Review: 5.0 PAWS (out of 5 PAWS)
This is our first park with its own dog swimming beach! It was very hot while we were there, so we loved having our own swimming beach. This is a very dog-friendly park with lots of green space, walking trails and did we mention the dog swimming beach – score!!
