The place

the agency’s own description · what’s there

In the agency’s own words

Kit Price is a beautiful campground overlooking the North Fork Coeur 'Alene River. Campers enjoy the benefits of the river by fishing along the banks, swimming and floating. Hiking is also a great way to see mountain views. Kit Price was completely renovated in 2021, including new tables, fire rings, paved parking spurs, and restrooms. All sites are handicapped accessible. Natural Features : The campground is situated along the North Fork Coeur d' Alene River at an elevation of 2,550 feet. Campsites are very open with smaller trees and brush species dominating the area. Keep reading

Popular Coeur d' Alene Lake is about 65 miles west of Kit Price. Wildlife in the region include mule deer, black bear, and osprey and calliope hummingbirds. Recreation : Tubing, swimming and kayaking on the North Fork Coeur 'Alene River are popular summer activities. Rafters like to head downstream for the class I-III rapids. Catch and release fishing for cutthroat trout is also popular. Facilities : Amenities include picnic tables, grills, paved parking spurs, accessible vault toilets and drinking water. Kit Price does not have electric hookups.

Phone before you drive

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

Booking window6 months outBooking opens 6 months ahead; today unlocks arrivals through April 16, 2027. The agency publishes no reservable season in the record we hold, so the window may close earlier than that.recreation.gov

What you actually pay

The sign priceU.S. Forest Service
The U.S. Forest Service publishes no per-night rate for this campground that we can read, so there’s no sign price to print. That’s a gap in the record, not a free campground.
The booking feerecreation.gov
We hold no recreation.gov booking record for this campground, so we can’t say whether a booking fee applies.
What a stay costs
The agency publishes no nightly rate for this campground, so there’s no total to show.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service publishes no season and no closure for this campground, and it takes no bookings we can read. That’s a gap in the record and not a locked gate.

Night sky: VIIRS Day/Night Band annual cloud-free composite, VNL V2 2024 (Earth Observation Group, Colorado School of Mines), read at the published coordinate: 0.34 mcd/m² of artificial all-sky glow, ranked against the 523 rated federal campgrounds in Idaho · Sep 8, 2026
