Springy Point Recreation Area
Springy Point Recreation Area is located on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille. The campground is on sloping ground and is covered with a mature forest which provides most sites with shade. The lake is the attraction here whether you want to swim, boat or fish. If you are looking for a campsite on the lake, near town and want cell/data service this might be the place for you.

Fees & Reservations

Fee Schedule
Each campsite costs $20 per night and there is a $10 fee for your extra vehicle.
Reservations
You may reserve your campsite on line at recreation.gov but there may be an additional $9 non refundable reservation fee. However, I would recommend reserving a site as you would likely not find an opening on a summer weekend.
