Panhandle Campground

When you head out for Panhandle Campground, don’t forget it’s BYOB— bring your own boat, that is. Just 30 miles north of Newport, this intimate campground (tents and RVs welcome!) lies next to the Pend Oreille River, opening the doors for freshwater adventures. Boaters can start their day right from the campground’s own boat launch, tubers can plop in just steps from their campsites, and fishers can catch bass and trout in the river and nearby streams. And, if you just want to kick back and watch the birds overhead, check out the wetlands on the south end of the campground.
