Sand Point Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille

[SWD]

Looking at heading to Sand Point this summer. Any input re campgrounds and boating information would be awesome. Planning to bring our boat along. Camping in our FW.

I'll add to Al Fresco's comment. If you want a more rustic/scenic campground that looks over the water the Sam Owen is your best choice, though it is a bit out of the way. Farragut is a great park, but the sites do not see much of the lake. On a windy day that can be a good thing, but I enjoy views of the lake.

If you are looking for a park with electric and water hookups, I highly recommend Farragut State Park. It is located approx. 30 miles south of Sandpoint, but you can actually boat into town on Lake Pend Oreille. If you do not need hookups, I recommend Sam Owen Campground located on the north end of the lake.

We stayed here a couple of years ago...we liked it. Nice campground with a marina, beach and swimming area. I remember lots of deer wandering around between sites and all over the grounds.

Have a good trip. It's beautiful country.
