Beyond Hope is located on the east side of beautiful Lake Pend Orielle, about a half hour drive from Sandpoint. The beach and marina are very nice as is the onsite Italian restaurant which has a large outdoor deck for dining and enjoying the amazing sunsets! The sites, like most private RV resorts, are close together but some of them do have a view of the lake. The bathrooms are very tiny but fairly clean. Nice place for a weekend get-away! We camped here in a Motorhome.

UNFORTUNATLY THIS RV RESORT IS CLOSED due to being sold off for further development. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is primarily for families who are on vacation and using the lake. It is a destination resort. Can't add much to previous comments except the staff told me this year (2008) is the last year for the park. They had survey stakes with flags all over the place. Apparently they are taking out the park and going to subdivide into condos. So check before heading to this campground to make sure they are still open. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quite different from any other campground due to fact there are deer running freely through the campground. Lovely setting. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really were unhappy with this campground. We stayed in 3 KOAs in 3 states before getting here, and all of them we rated 7 or 8. The only positives of Beyond Hope is boat access to the lake and deer in the park. On arrival, the first thing they have you do is make a u-turn to be taken to your website. There isn't enough room to make this u-turn in a 39' motorhome without making a 3 point turn. We had to unhook our tow vehicle due to how tight the entrances and roads were. For such a rural park in a beautiful area, they pack you into fairly small sites and the gate entrances and turns in the site are very tight for big rigs. We wouldn't call this a big-rig or child friendly campground. There's really nothing to do here at this campground - especially if you have kids. Fortunately, we were just using it to park our RV and sleep at night while we visited family nearby. Otherwise, we'd have been really bored. It's over priced for what you get. No pool, no playground. We couldn't find any hiking trails. People walk and jog on the main road to the campground, which isn't safe. The main office didn't open until 10am (which is very late for a campground). There is a restaurant here, but they don't serve breakfast, so we never ate there. Staff was OK but not overly friendly. We got the feeling that they are smug with being full this time of the year and have a "take it or leave it" attitude. We see no reason to stay here again - there are other choices up here that we will try next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was by far the best RV park we've ever seen. We made our reservation months in advance, and it paid off. Our view from our trailer was the beautiful lake. Grassy sites were nice and they were staggered, so although the other trailers were close, they didn't feel so close. The restaurant was good, but very expensive. We wished we would have stayed longer to enjoy the Hope Resort more. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is a MUST SEE!!!! There is deer all over the place. Although they say don't feed the deer everyone does. I had the opportunity to have a buck drink water out of my hand. What an experience that was. The sites are grass and large. The restaurant and lounge wasn't open the day we arrived. We will definitely come back to this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is in a game refuge and the deer roam freely. Although you are not supposed to feed the deer many visitors do and the deer can be persistent, but not aggressive. We had about 10-12 deer in our space every afternoon looking for a handout! The grounds are manicured, lush and very well taken care of. The staff and owners are outstanding - can't say enough about the hospitality. A five star restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily - very good! We stayed in our fifth wheel almost a month until the season was over. Can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in September of 2005, the deer were beautiful at first, then it came time to walk my dogs, there was deer droppings everywhere. They roam free so they freely eliminate. Even though you are not supposed to feed the deer, so many do that they just come to your table and try to eat your food. Due to the grass you are not allowed to put down any rugs so watch your step. The dogs think the deer droppings are chew toys or food, it's disgusting. Having the lake near is nice, you can launch your boat or visit the restaurant. Pleasant uninterrupted evenings are nonexistent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV Park in inside a game preserve which we thought would be cool but after being there, it wasn't. The deer were actually kind of scary as they would come right up to you and people fed them and petted them. We tried to eat outside the first night and gave up as we couldn't scare them away. The sites are nice; all grass but the hookups aren't so well placed. In every site we looked at they were uphill from the RV so things didn't drain so well. The kids liked the access to the swimming beach and had a great time there. It was very quiet in the evenings which we enjoyed - no traffic sounds! The women's bathroom was having work done on it so it wasn't usable and the men's wasn't as clean as most that we've stayed in. The sites were nice though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Location, location, location. Nice park, well run. Seems to have become a favorite for several to stay for months at a time. A few semi permanent tenants, with nice decks built up to their trailers or 5th's. Great views of the lake from some spots. Dock and boat ramp available. On the leeward side of the lake, so cooler in summer, warmer in winter. Game preserve, so Bambi walks thru the camps all day. You know, come to think of it - may be best for the rest of you to not visit this park. Charming place, with great sun sets! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The people are very friendly. The sites are gravel and not too well defined but ours was level and most of the other appeared level as well. Our site had excellent 30 amp power. There were deer just outside our motorhome in the evening. We paid with a check as they do not accept credit cards. We camped here in a Motorhome.
