RV Parks In Plummer, Idaho

Plummer sits at the southern tip of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation in northern Idaho with several RV parks and campgrounds available for travelers, including some free camping options. The town marks the southern terminus of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, a 72-mile paved rail-trail that stretches north through the Silver Valley to Mullan, making it a significant destination for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. Heyburn State Park, Idaho's oldest state park, lies just east of Plummer along the shores of Chatcolet Lake and Benewah Lake, providing excellent camping, boating, fishing, and hiking in a beautiful forested lakeside setting. The surrounding landscape mixes the rolling Palouse hills to the south with the forested Coeur d'Alene Mountains to the north and east, creating a transition zone between prairie and mountain ecosystems that's visually striking. The Coeur d'Alene Tribe's cultural presence adds depth to the area, and the tribe operates several enterprises in the community including dining and services. The area sits at the intersection of the Palouse agricultural prairie and the forested lake country to the north, creating a visual transition that's particularly striking when driving south from Coeur d'Alene as the conifer forests give way to rolling wheat fields. St. Maries, about 20 miles east on Highway 5, adds the St. Joe River corridor to your recreation options, with excellent fishing and boating on a river that was once the highest navigable river in the world. The quiet, uncrowded character of the Plummer area provides a welcome contrast to the busier campgrounds around Coeur d'Alene.

Camping near Plummer is reasonably priced.
