Misty Kolar and her team worked hard to ensure we didn’t have a thing to worry about. The lodge was immaculate, the outdoor areas were clean for guests to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery and they were available for questions and to problem solve anything that came up (as things do!)! The catered food from their family-owned restaurant, The Gateway, was fantastic!! Everyone we spoke to raved about the food. We can’t say enough good things about this experience. Thank you!!

Full disclosure, I never set foot in the park. But I did need to cancel a reservation over a month before arriving and they are charging me 10 percent of the total value of my reservation to do so.

But I did need to cancel a reservation over a month before arriving and they are charging me 10 percent of the total value of my reservation to do so. I spoke to the park and they pointed out that it was buried in their terms and conditions, but who reads those when making an online reservation for a campground?! Anyway, I think they should clearly state on the landing page for their website that you cannot cancel any reservation without penalty regardless of how much advance notice you provide. The site does not say that in a way that most would actually take notice. I've been RV'ing for over 10 years and never heard of such a harsh policy, especially over 30 days away from a reservation. BEWARE!

Beautiful area off the beaten path! So much to do including the Trail of the Couer d'Alene. Couer d'Alene was about 30 minutes away but we enjoyed exploring the smaller towns instead.

We stayed at the Soaring Hawk RV Resort in our 40’ Super C motorhome towing a Jeep. We had absolutely no problem pulling into the resort and when we arrived we couldn’t believe how spaced out it was. We had plenty of room to unhook our Jeep and had easy access to our very large back on site. Once we walked around we saw how large the resort is and how many spacious sites they have. The lodge a... We stayed at the Soaring Hawk RV Resort in our 40’ Super C motorhome towing a Jeep. We had absolutely no problem pulling into the resort and when we arrived we couldn’t believe how spaced out it was. We had plenty of room to unhook our Jeep and had easy access to our very large back on site. Once we walked around we saw how large the resort is and how many spacious sites they have. The lodge and laundry room are very nice and the views are nice as well. There are many shaded sites as well as full sun sites. The prices are very reasonable for such a nice resort. We would definitely stay here again.
