About

Pioneer Park Campground sits on the Pend Oreille River in northeast Washington, surrounded by groves of ponderosa pine, white pine, hemlock and grand fir trees at 2,000 feet elevation. The spacious, shady campsites feature an understory of wild roses and thimbleberry. Located at the southern edge of Colville National Forest near the Idaho border, the campground offers excellent bass and trout fishing, a boat ramp, swimming area, and picnic shelter. The Pioneer Park Heritage Trail is a highlight, featuring twelve interpretive displays along a 0.3-mile boardwalk that showcases the history of the Kalispel Tribe with scenic river views. The campground's proximity to Newport provides convenient access to restaurants and entertainment, including Little People's Park for children. The forest spans 1.1 million acres and encompasses the Okanogan, Kettle River and Selkirk Mountain Ranges.

Directions

From downtown Newport, travel east on U.S. Highway 2 for 0.75 miles. Immediately after crossing the Pend Oreille River bridge, turn left on South LeClerc Road and travel 2 miles north to the campground entrance.
