Really friendly bunch. Invited us to join in a pot luck.

No doubt you are a friendly guy yourself and even though you have a travel trailer you did not look down on the Prevost crowd and consider them beneath your dignity.

It works both ways - so everyone gets along just fine. :B

The sawmill is no longer across from Blackwell Island. I would guess the worst noise would be the highway, or the neighbors. I haven't ever stayed there so I can't comment on the facility.

We stayed at Blackwell Island...close and convenient to the Coeur d Alene scene.
Super high water pressure. At check in they asked us to use a water pressure regulator - even sold them at the desk.

Lots of goose poop and on going noise from a lumber mill across the lake. Don't know if these are still an issue.

Anyway, have a good trip.

Stayed at Blackwell Island in '08, we thought it was pretty good. Some complain of the sawmill noise from across the river, but it wasn't bothersome. We would definitely stay there again if we were in the area!

We've stayed at Blackwell Island several times and had very good experiences. I don't know what poor reviews you are talking about for this place since on RVParkReviews the most recent reviews are mostly 8's and 9's.
