If you have a family reunion that you are planning for or a weekend getaway with friends and you are looking for a primitive camping experience on a warm summer weekend, Berlin Flats Group Area is the place to go! Berlin Flats Group Area is located along Shoshone Creek which is near the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River. Here visitors can tent camp or pull out their RVs and trailers.
The campground sits among lodgepole and other mixed pines at an elevation of 2,600 feet and is located among the mountain peaks of the Cascades. If you are a wildlife watcher or photographer you will have the chance of seeing deer, moose, elk, osprey and calliope hummingbirds.
