Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, is a very nice small city located in the northern part of the Idaho, known for its picturesque setting and vibrant community. Nestled on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene and surrounded by mountains, it offers a mix of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and cultural attractions.

Much like Spearfish, South Dakota, Couer d’Alene is a college town with a lot of outdoor activities. Although traffic here is becoming an issue due to an influx of new residents post COVID, I think this is likely our new favorite northern city bumping Spearfish to a close second.

Park Review – Blackwell Island RV Resort

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Location: Couer d’Alene, ID
Type: Commercial Park
Check-in/Check-out times: 1:00/11:00
Site Quality / Amenities: The roads are asphalt and the pads are gravel. Each site has a picnic table.
Access: From I-90 take exit 12 in Couer d’Alene to US-95 south. After crossing the Spokane River take S Marina Dr. left to the park.
Staff: At check-in we were provided with a lot of good local information to help us find our way around.
Restaurants: We didn’t end up eating out while we were here.
Nearby parks: We didn’t look at any other parks nearby.
What we liked: We found it easy to relax here. There were a lot of families staying here and it was obvious many of them come frequently. If we had to do it again, we’d probably stay more toward the other side of the park closer to the water.
What we didn’t like: Sites were a bit short for bigger rigs but we had an overflow parking area right in front of our site where we could park the truck.
Verdict: We would stay here again if in the area.
