About

Springy Point Campground is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility situated on the shores of the Pend Oreille River near Lake Pend Oreille, one of the largest and deepest natural lakes in the western United States. The campground offers 38 shaded campsites nestled among firs, cedars and pines, with 36 standard non-electric sites and 2 walk-to sites. Located just across the water from Sandpoint, the campground provides stunning views of the Cabinet and Selkirk Mountains. Water sports dominate the recreation scene at Springy Point, with an on-site boat ramp providing convenient access for kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, jet skiing and fishing. A large swimming area offers comfortable access to the river's clear waters. The Long Bridge provides a scenic route for biking or hiking into Sandpoint for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Wildlife enthusiasts can take a short trip to the Pack River Area for bird and moose watching opportunities. The area is the traditional home of the Kalispell Indians, and French settlers named it "Pend Oreille," meaning "ear pendant," after observing the large shell earrings worn by the Kalispell people.
