Farragut State Park, ID 04/18/2021
Bored and looking for new places to check out, we decided to take a day trip to Farragut State Park in Idaho. It came well recomended by a co-worker as his favorite place to camp.
Most of the camp ground was closed with the exception of one section. The sites were well spaced out, offered a little privacy and seemed easy to get into to. They were large enough for full sized big rigs and long trailers.
Most sites offered electric and water but none had sewer. They had a well equiped dump station on the way out.
If you follow the road all the way to the end past the boat ramp there is a wonderful pull out with sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille. We stopped and had a picnick on the tail gate of the truck!
They have sites closer to the boat launch and within close walking distance from the lake which was absolutely stunning on this April day.
There are bathrooms spread throughout but they are basically outhouses connected by a shed.
The main office has a great visitor center, shop with suveniers and snacks and a cool exhibit detailing the history of the area. There is a $7 day use fee for non-residents. We will deffinately go back to camp.
