Crystal Gold Mine
Nice little campground next to I90 with bike trails right across the street. Lots of highway noise and our site was a pull thru but not a lot of space. You can take a tour of the actual gold mine and see some relics

Very nice small campground
I 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.

Great place to camp
Clean, beautiful spacious the people that own the campground are friendly and helpful. It’s a great place to camp the real bonus is there’s food there so you don’t have to do any cooking. It’s delicious!

John S.ScoutBald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
A gem up high on Mt. Spokane
If you'd like a lovely campground standing 3000 ft above the northeast Columbia basin, this would be hard to beat. It's simply beautiful. A couple hundred feet you can peer twenty miles to the east (probably more). The campground is small (8 sites) and compact (you'll have neighbors near), but that's a good design choice --- the little plateau at Bald Knob simply isn't big enough for more.
If you're up for a stroll, then climb (or drive!) to the top of Mt. Spokane. On a clear day you can see three states (WA/ID/MT) and two countries (USA/Canada). If you get to the campground and then *don't* take a side trip to the top of Mt. Spokane, you will need to have your head examined. [N.B. If you're driving a motorhome, do *not* drive to the summit past the campground: the narrow one-lane (paved) road is just not going to let you go up while other cars are coming down.]
If you go there at the right time of year, you can stroll a couple hundred feet and harvest huckleberries. Actual huckleberries. I had waffles with fresh huckleberries, so eat your heart out.
This is one of the pricier campgrounds ($39/night in 2026), but there's potable water and restrooms with flush toilets and even hot water(!). And of course, there are bear-proof food lockers and garbage bins for each site.

Bald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
slightly pricey, TOTALLY WORTH IT! attention senior citizens!
If you'd like an alpine campground with easy access, unbelievable views, and excellent facilities, this is it.
in the TLDR department,
(*) paved road to within the last few hundred feet of your campsite.
(*) potable water
(*) restrooms with flush toilets and hot water (!)
(*) 8 campsites --- kind of cramped, but nice.
(*) 20 minutes drive to summit of Mt. Spokane with "unbelievably spectacular view"
(*) if you're there in mid- late- July, huckleberries are right there. I had them on waffles this morning.
Depending upon where you start, this campsite is about 45 minutes from Spokane WA. You'll have to have some patience with the last 15 miles or so of the (paved) road, as it is pretty curvaceous.
This campsite is at about 5100 ft on a shoulder of Mt. Spokane, whose summit is 5800 ft. Let's just say, if you go to the trouble to get to this campground, and *don't* take a side trip to the summit, there's not much I can do for you. If you're not familiar with the geography in this region, Mt. Spokane stands about 3800 ft above the valley floors in the Spokane Valley and adjacent valley floors. In other words, you'll have a stunning views on clear days. From the summit of Mt. Spokane, you can see two nations and three states.
The campground itself is small: 8 sites --- so prefer to reserve online.
At each site:
(*) a bear-proof garbage bin
(*) a bear-proof food bin
(*) a potable water source (shared)
(*) a surprisingly nice, clean restroom with (omg) flush toilets and (omg) hot water.
(*) they don't have showers, but gurl: you know what you can achieve with a sink and hot water and some wash cloths.
(*) it's a small thing, but there is some cell-phone coverage there. This means that if you're a smart phone and computer nerd, you can watch Netflix at night.
The thing is, as stupendous as this site is, it's a "one night" site.
However, I will be back next summer, because Bald Knob is just so amazing.

Nice little camp ground. 12$ a night. A few other campers around but still have space on either side of my van. Picnic benches at each site
Joel R.LegendLiberty Lake Regional Park
Quiet campaigning in tall trees
This 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.
Guide to Cataldo
Cabin and glamping options near Cataldo, Idaho provide alternative camping experiences in northern Idaho's forested terrain at elevations around 2,200 feet. The area between Coeur d'Alene and Kellogg offers camping opportunities from May through September, though some sites remain open year-round. Overnight temperatures can drop significantly even in summer months.
What to do
Hiking nearby trails: Liberty Lake Regional Park connects to several hiking paths with varying difficulty levels. "We hiked the trail on the backside of the campground, which followed along a stream. There's nearby wildlife, including a resident moose," notes a Camp Coeur D'Alene visitor.
Mine tours and gem panning: The historical Crystal Gold Mine offers educational activities beyond just accommodation. "The 40 minutes tour of the mine is awesome!! And, it comes with an opportunity to pan for gold and gems. Don't count on striking it rich with gold but you will certainly leave entertained and with a great bit of mining education," explains one camper.
Bike trail access: Chatcolet Campground provides direct access to regional bike paths. "We picked this campground for its access to the Trail of the Coeur D'Alenes. The campground is small and peaceful, at least mid week. Lovely views of the lake through the trees," reports a visitor.
What campers like
Lakefront activities: Multiple campsites offer water recreation options beyond standard amenities. At Wolf Lodge Campground, "Canoe and float rentals, live music on weekends. Full hook ups, clean showers and laundry too. It was perfect for our quick stop over."
Family-friendly atmosphere: Gilmore Campground at Farragut State Park offers spacious sites with community activities. "The campground has a big green for frisbee, horseshoes, etc. Farragut State Park has abundant hiking, water activities and interesting interpretive exhibits," writes a camper.
Quiet, wooded settings: Many sites provide natural surroundings despite highway proximity. At By the Way Campground, "Small RV park, with a few tent sites. Hosts were lovely people. Large clean bathrooms and showers. Park like environment. Was warned a Moose family likes to walk through, but didn't see them."
What you should know
Highway noise: Several glamping options near Cataldo sit close to Interstate 90. "Unfortunately, ground is very uneven and the interstate with heavy truck traffic is right next to it. Felt like the traffic was going through my tent," notes a Wolf Lodge Campground reviewer.
Limited cell service: Connectivity varies throughout the region. At Gilmore Campground, visitors report "limited Verizon connectivity — 2 bars at most. The village of Bayview, a few minutes' drive or vigorous bike ride away, has a well-stocked little mercantile that carries all the necessities."
Reservation requirements: Peak season demands advance planning. "Need to book months ahead or get there early to get a spot," advises a camper at Gilmore Campground. Most glamping facilities near Cataldo follow seasonal operations, typically May through September.
Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with activities: Some locations offer built-in entertainment for children. At Camp Coeur D'Alene, "The camp offers tent camping, full service RV camping, and cabins for rent. There are hiking trails adjacent, a well stocked camp store and laundry facilities."
Consider noise factors: Highway proximity affects sleep quality for light sleepers. One camper at Wolf Lodge noted, "We just ran our AC/fan at night and it blocked out the noise" while another mentioned "decent amount of highway noise" at various sites.
Check bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality varies between locations. At Chatcolet Campground, "The toilets are flush, but look like outhouses from the outside. A pleasant surprise when you get in." Some locations feature full shower facilities while others offer more basic options.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Many RV sites require adjustment. "The spaces are big and open. There seem to be a lot of long timers but that's fine. No laundry or bathhouse. Would probably pass next time and keep going to Coeur d'Alene to find something a little nicer as a vacation spot," notes an RVer at Crystal Gold Mine.
Off-season limitations: Facility closures affect value during shoulder seasons. "The showers were closed for the season and the bathrooms were not well maintained. They had no toilet paper, lots of bugs, and the lights were out," reports a visitor to a nearby park.
Space constraints: Site layouts vary significantly between glamping facilities near Cataldo. At Silverwood RV Park, "Spaces feel spaced out. We were in loop F." whereas other locations note "The RV sites are very close together on a gravel lot, but are full hookup."
