SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Cabela's parking lot in Post Falls doubles as a free overnight stop for RVs and travelers passing through northern Idaho, with a designated area along the north side of the building marked by signage. The stay limit is 48 hours, and check-in happens at the customer service desk inside the store. Spaces are flat and can handle long truck-and-trailer combinations or full-size RVs, and pull-through spots are available for bigger rigs. Campers who prefer to skip the dedicated RV section can also park along the outer perimeter of the lot.

The setup includes a few amenities that set it apart from a standard parking lot stop. There is a small horse corral and a dog kennel on-site, which makes this a practical layover for travelers hauling animals. Over busy weekends, the lot can fill up considerably, with one visitor counting around 20 vehicles during the Fourth of July. "Lots of room for all trailer types with places for horses and dogs," notes Chasey A. Toilets are available, trash service is provided, and the site is ADA accessible.

The surrounding commercial area gives travelers easy access to food and supplies. A Walmart, Taco Bell, and Starbucks are all within walking distance, and a Maverik with a diesel truck lane is nearby. Campers looking for more traditional outdoor sites can browse campgrounds around Newman Lake or check nearby alternatives such as Walmart - Post Falls. This spot works best for road-trippers and RV travelers who need a free, no-frills overnight stop with room for large rigs and animals.

Campers regularly cited this as an ideal overnight stop with flat, spacious sites and helpful staff. Multiple guests pointed out the convenient pet facilities and 48-hour limit. Most found it a quiet, practical rest spot despite close spacing.

Super nice employees and spot!

We were able to work with employees with parking extended because our rv needed work done so we could really drive it. They were understanding and sweet. Great spot. Walk away from Taco Bell, Starbucks, Walmart and more!

Great place for one night

Dedicated area for RVs with a 48h limit. There are pull through for bigger rigs, but we stayed with our 19’ Class B on the regular parking next to the RV area. There were a couple additional vans doing the same. Quiet place, we had a good nights sleep. Would choose it again.

Perfect 1 Nite Stop

We decided to try out the Cabela’s 48-Hour RV parking for one night. It was the perfect quick rest spot for my spouse and I. Lots of room for all trailer types with places for horses and dogs. The parking area is marked with signs for RVs. It sits to the left of the building.

Cabela’s is very boondocking friendly !

There were probably 20 RVs/vehicles camping over the 4th of July weekend. Cabela’s has a sign saying RVs are permitted for stays up to 48 hours. There’s even a horse pen and a dog pen for your furry friends that need to be outside!

Great overnite spot with plenty of room!

What a nice place to stay for the night. There is a designated area to park along the North parking area. There is signage directing you there but you can also park anywhere else along the outer perimeter of the parking lot(s).  (See Google Satellite View of the area to help you out.)

Please patronize the store as it is wonderful place to shop. Wife picked up a great flannel shirt to add to her collection while there. 

FYI, there is also a Maverik Store on your way by that has a truck lane for diesel that is pretty reasonably priced.
