      Northern Quest RV Resort

      Luxury Turf, Spotless Grounds, and Ultimate Convenience in Airway Heights,

      Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com

      If you are traveling through the Inland Northwest along the Interstate 90 or US-2 corridors on your way to or from Glacier National Park, Northern Quest RV Resort in Airway Heights (just west of Spokane) is a premier place to pull in. We stopped here along our route, and it immediately stood out as one of the cleanest, most manicured RV resorts we’ve stayed at.

      Site Quality and Resort Atmosphere

      The standard of maintenance across this entire property is top-tier:

      • Lush Turf at Every Site: One of the first things you notice is the beautiful, vibrant green turf surrounding every single campsite. It makes stepping out of your RV feel clean and comfortable, keeping dirt and dust out of your rig.
      • Immaculate Grounds: The roads, pads, and common areas are thoroughly maintained. The layouts offer plenty of breathing room, making it easy to settle in without feeling crammed against your neighbors.
      • Peace and Quiet: Despite being part of a full-scale resort and casino property, the RV park itself is remarkably quiet, calm, and secure at night.

      Resort Perks and Casino Shuttle

      You get all the conveniences of a luxury resort without having to unhook your tow vehicle to go explore:

      • Free Casino Shuttle: The park offers a complimentary shuttle service that picks you up right in the RV resort and drops you off at Northern Quest Resort& Casino for dining, entertainment, or gaming, then brings you right back to your rig.
      • Effortless Resupply & Fuel: Fueling a big rig is completely stress-free here. There is a large fuel station situated right next door, plus a convenient Maverik gas station just about a block away. Having multiple high-clearance fueling options right off the property makes morning departures quick and painless.

      The Hitched4fun Verdict

      Northern Quest RV Resort strikes the perfect balance between high-end RV resort luxury and effortless road-trip practicality. Between the pristine green grass pads, spotless grounds, ultra-convenient fueling, and complimentary casino shuttle, it takes all the friction out of a travel day. It is an outstanding stopover for big rigs and road-trippers alike, and our crew would gladly stay here again.

      Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!

      Lakes Divide Road

      Kind of Busy

      Road wasn’t bad for our Class C. Sites were right off the road and there was some traffic. Not very private.

      Genesis Mountain Farm

      N idaho at its best

      This location has RV parking in the field near the road, yurts on the mountain top, hot tub and sauna at the main house. Farm to table Dinners and breakfast available. Also rooms if you prefer. Almost 40 acres with a large hydroponic greenhouse to explore. Lots of farm animals. Would stop here again!

      North Spokane RV Campground

      Clean and convenient

      I've been staying here for about a week. It's very clean and well kept. The neighbors all seem to keep to themselves. Not a lot of shade but there are trees around the outside of the park. Getting in and out of the camping spots is very easy. We have full hook ups and WiFi is included along with water but you do get charged for electricity. Long term camping requires a background check but it's the best rate for such amenities. (My winter rate is 636 for 28 days). The only complaint I have is the noise. There is a lot of road noise throughout the day and a lot of the night. This isn't really the park's fault though, Spokane is noisy.

      Coeur d'Alene RV Resort

      A bit of road noise

      Nice enough and well maintained park.  Probably 1/3 - 1/2 of park appear to be full time residents.  Sites are close with gravel for RV and a cement pad with a picnic table at each one.  Combination of pull thru's and back-ins.  Good power and water pressure, sewer hookups can be a bit challenging depending upon the tree roots and the adapters you have.  Large shower and laundry facility.  Pool is inside with a spa tub - neither are huge.  Friendly staff and conveniently located just off of I-90.  Good Wi-Fi and cell service, but no cable TV.

      Killarney Lake Picnic Site

      This is not a camp site

      Be advised—- we wasted 45 minutes today looking at this “site” due to a previous review. The picnic site is only a little pull off to access well you guessed it, the picnic area. I’m guessing you’d get the knock if you parked there- we heard from others that they patrol often. The only camping areas nearby are by the boat dock at $20 a night right next to each other in a concrete parking lot (but close to water).

      Rose Lake

      No privacy

      Loud generators next to me as I type this and wall to wall neighbors. No privacy and nothing else in the area. Wouldn’t recommend.

      Bull Run Access Dispersed

      Very pothole heavy road

      Filled with rain even though it hasn’t rained recently- wouldn’t bring a big rig with low ground clearance through. Spots are all on the side of the road with no privacy.

    Fishing opportunities: Riley Creek Campground offers excellent fishing access with a dedicated fishing dock and boat launch. One visitor reported that "the small beach was fabulous" while another noted the convenience of "Doggie Island (dog friendly area since they aren't allowed on the beach) and the Boat Basin (an inlet where you can dock your small water craft)."

    Trail exploration: Round Lake State Park features well-maintained trails that circle the lake and extend into nearby forest areas. A camper mentioned that "a very nice trail runs completely around the lake and nicely maintained" while another enjoyed "morning walks in the trails were peaceful with coffee in hand."

    Swimming areas: At Priest River Campground, the swimming beach receives high marks for family-friendly access. A camper noted that "the beach is so kid friendly for the little ones; this was the best part for us. Our 3 year old really gained some water confidence while here."

    What campers like

    Private sites: Many campgrounds in the area offer good separation between sites. At Pioneer Park, a camper appreciated that "sites are huge and well spaced" while another mentioned "great park with wooded, nicely spaced sites."

    Clean facilities: Thousand Trails Little Diamond maintains good bathroom and shower facilities despite seasonal challenges. One visitor noted "Bathroom showers are ok. Laundry is good" while another mentioned "nice lodge/spa and pool open."

    Shade coverage: Visitors to Albeni Cove appreciate the tree cover during hot summer months.

    What you should know

    Noise considerations: Several campgrounds experience varying levels of noise from nearby roads or trains. At Spokane KOA Journey, a camper warned "it is right next to an active railroad, so bring earplugs if you don't want to be woken up by trains several times."

    Reservation timing: Campgrounds fill quickly during summer months. For Gilmore Campground at Farragut State Park, a visitor advised "Book early as this is a very popular place" while another mentioned "If you are going to swim at one of the bays while there get there early. In the peak of summer, the parking lot will fill up by 10 or 11 am."

    Tips for camping with families

    Hookup variability: Electric and water connections differ between campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Little Diamond, a camper explained "The sites share electric and water, no sewer and are positioned oddly they are on the off side and in front by the road. Some 30 and 50 amp just check the box."

    Dump station access: Not all sites provide full hookups. At Riley Creek, a visitor mentioned "No dump in sites, so a little bit of a bummer" while another noted "Partial hook ups (no sewer)" but there are "two dump stations" available.
