Albeni Cove Campground - a winner!

Well, we found a winner in this campground!

We arrived just at dark due to poor directions, but it was worth the search.
For anyone who wants to try this Corp of Engineers campground, just take Hwy. 2 out of Spokane, WA. thru Newport, WA. Right beyond is Oldtown, ID. Turn right at Hwy 41 and take a left at the Albeni Cove sign. A big Safeway is on the corner where you turn.

The campground is totally updated, complete with brand new fancy grills for your campfire. Sites are all beautiful, not a loser in the bunch, some tent, some Travel Trailer and RV. No hookups, but a nice restroom with showers (!) and drinking fountains and water everywhere. Friendly campground hosts from Texas while we were there.

This beautiful campground sits on the shores of the PendOrielle (say Pon-de-ray) River in northern Idaho. The river is low right now but the campground host told us water will be released June 24th for the summer recreation period. Albeni Falls Dam is nearby and once in awhile you can hear it hum - not an unpleasant sound. GO view it from the opposite side of the river from a beautifully landscaped interpretive park.
If you go, have fun!
