ScoutRight in the middle of civilization, and packed in, but very nice. Nice trees, nice facilities, well maintained. Families are here, well behaved. Booked online. The owner noticed us and introduced himself. Will use again when I want the amenities.
GuideThe only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because it’s a high density campground. There are some nice features like a community grilling area and laundry. Plenty of showers and bathrooms and they were clean. There is a small patch of grass between each site and a picnic table for each site. The sites and roads are asphalt. Our site was level. Very clean campground.
ScoutSites are very close together. A lot of full time campers. Not bad for an overnight stay on a trip. Water, electric and dump station for $50 plus tax.
GuideI am in a cab over camper at a tent site and do not need power or water. Easy to level a nice grassy sites. Sites are a bit close together for tents and RVs. Very quiet and I would stay again. Only one night passing through.
GuideBeautiful campgrounds, deeply immersed in rules.
GuideA decent rest stop to sleep for the night. I have 21ft travel trailer and there are quite a few spots. It does have water and a dump station at the entrance.
GuideMe and the pup had a lot of fun there only stayed two nights
LegendThis is a small, regional campground in Liberty Lake, between Spokane WA and Coeur D’Alene ID. It’s quiet and there are lots of trees, hiking trails, equestrian trails, a lake, waterfall, and wildlife. The campground is small, just 17 regular water & 30 amp; electric sites, and 3 premium sites with full hookups on top of the hill. There are also a few cabins. The bathroom/shower is dated, but it’s clean. Getting to the park and campground is a little complicated because you have to go through a residential area, then down a narrow road to the park, and an even narrower one way road down a steep grade to the campground. But it’s worth the effort for the quiet and accessible hiking. We saw deer, moose, pileated woodpeckers in the campground.
LegendThis campground was a KOA but has now changed to “Roam Spokane”. I don’t know what difference it makes. We arrived at 12:15 after a 5 hour drive, with lots of construction, (and a reservation) to be told check in isn’t till 1:00 pm. They eventually gave us our spot at 12:30. The site is small, barely large enough for our 20ft. Travel trailer plus tow vehicle. 30/50 amp available. Also tent sites and cabins. Lots of dust and dead grass. The railroad runs directly behind the campground so it’s noisy at times. The bathrooms and showers are clean, one of the 4 showers was out of service! There is a laundry, playground, pool, dog park, basketball court, and dump station. The internet is pretty good.

Hiking opportunities: Heyburn State Park features multiple trail systems connecting its campgrounds. Jared from Hawleys Landing Campground noted, "We biked on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed the beach at Rocky Point." The trail extends through the park and offers multiple access points for day hiking.
Wildlife viewing: Cabin accommodations provide reliable shelter while exploring local wildlife areas. Julie M. from Camp Coeur D Alene reported: "Hiked the trail on the backside of the campground, which followed along a stream. There's nearby wildlife, including a resident moose. We didn't get to see her but enjoyed looking."
Privacy options: Some cabins offer more seclusion than others. According to Jared, who stayed at Hawleys Landing Campground, "We were lucky enough to land the island campground which made the whole experience amazing! This place has great amenities (free canoes, hot showers, flush toilets, free firewood) which made it the nicest campground I had been to for awhile."
Complimentary amenities: Many cabins include extras beyond basic accommodation. James C. from Camp Coeur D Alene noted, "This CG has everything you can ask for from Kayaks on lake CDA to shower, laundry etc and more than one. Everyone is very friendly and just want you to have a good time! Camp sites are well thought out."
Shade coverage: Forest canopy provides temperature control during summer months. When staying at Tamarack RV Park And Vacation Cabins, Anthony T. found the "Fantastic little RV park" with "tree covered" sites makes cabin stays cooler during summer months.
Seasonal availability: Availability varies significantly by season, with most facilities reducing operations after September. Waldron Campground has "check in is way too late (2 pm), they require you to check in at visitor center, and the parking lot is not large enough to accommodate all the rvs checking in at 2 pm," according to mary F., so plan arrival times accordingly.
Highway proximity: Several cabin options near Cataldo sit close to I-90, creating noise considerations. BoGwen J. from By the Way Campground reported, "Your right next to freeway very noisy. The AC couldn't drown out the traffic noise. Wore earplugs. Very nice people and a clean spot! Bonus the moose come to visit."
Bathroom access: Bathroom facilities vary widely between cabin options. Julie H. noted By the Way Campground has "clean, warm bathrooms with showers and very friendly management," while Joe B. added it contains "four total restrooms, two of those have showers, and they have a laundry facility available as well."
Kid-friendly activities: Several campgrounds offer specific family amenities. Samantha W. recommends Hawleys Landing stating, "Our favorite campground, We visit every year! The Trail of the Coeur D'Alene runs through this campground. Biking the 7 mile ride to Harrison is a great way to spend the day, you cross the lake over a bridge, watching eagles swoop over the lake as you ride."
Safety considerations: Look for campgrounds with contained play areas and water safety features. Wolf Lodge Campground provides "Lots of free or low priced activities for the kids. We loved kayaking down the creek at the campground and saw wildlife," according to Jenn, making supervised recreation easier.
Off-site attractions: Plan for day trips from your cabin base. Nancy C. from Wolf Lodge Campground mentioned it's "Close to the city. Beautiful area," making it convenient for families to alternate between camping and town-based activities during extended stays.
Site spacing: RV sites with cabins typically feature closer spacing. Dan L. from Tamarack RV Park noted, "Wish there was space to sit outside at the picnic table but spaces are too tight - we would be on top of our neighbor's sewer. Very level spot and no street noise."

Hookup specifications: Available power varies between properties. According to Jessica R., when staying at Tamarack RV Park, "This campground is nice, but right on a busy road. That makes it convenient but loud. Try to get a site in sections A or E. If in B, C or D try to get a high number (farther away from the road)."
