    Camp Coeur D Alene

    Tucked in the side of the mountain on the water

    Even though the sites are small and close together, they are at different levels as you go up the hill combined with the sites and cabins being tucked under the giant pines, gives you a sense of privacy. It's a really cute campground/resort. They offer tent area, Rv area and log cabins of various sizes. Pool. Boat launch with access to coeur d'Alene lake. Beautiful setting. Cell signal is good.

    Spokane KOA Journey

    Nice spot close to Lake Coeur D'alene

    This is a great stop point before getting into Idaho. The campground was very well maintained and great to stay at. It is located in between Spokane proper and Coeur d'Alene (so Spokane Valley). There are tons of spots to choose from, but it gets pretty busy in the summer. The cabins were great and had everything you needed to get by.

    There is a laundromat, store, sports area, lots of space for dogs and a game room at the main lodge. I really liked the community fire pit since there wasnt a fire pit at each site. One cool thing about this site is they have "gazebo sites" for RV campers. They also have an outdoor movie theater set up, but we werent able to take advantage of that perk.

    We were able to drive a short way to Lake Coeur d'Alene for their Fourth of July events and even rented a lake boat for tubing.

    Great site for families, RVers, and pet owners.

    Camp Coeur D Alene

    Very nice family campground

    Lots of amenities including pool, bathrooms, hot showers, fire pits with free wood and free access to canoes. The sites are small and close together but being at different levels you get some privacy. Giant pines also provided shades that was quite welcome.

    One of the reason we spent some time there was to ride on "Trail of Coeur D'Alene".  The trail was not close enough to ride from the campground but could be reach by car in about 20 minutes.

    By the Way Campground

    Great Stay, Wonderful Managers.

    Our family had a great one night stay. It was very last minute but they had a tent spot available. They do have around fifteen RV spots a few small cabins, and a handful of tent spots. The tent spots are around the perimeter of a gazebo that had electric hookup. They have four total restrooms, two of those have showers, and they have a laundry facility available as well. Everything was clean and we'll kept! Planning on staying again!

    Clear Lake Military

    Excellent facility—beautiful and clean!

    Military site with everything you could possibly need—tent, RV, and tiny cabins. This site was very well maintained, and very highly trafficked in the summer. Access to water and excellent for some good old fashioned family fun :)

    Spokane KOA Journey

    Dated, crowded, no shade

    We stayed one night in a deluxe cabin. It was spacious enough, with a partial kitchen, AC, and full bath. The grounds are well-kept but older. The cabin was tired—cabinets with loose hinges, squeaky bed, tub drain was slow, WiFi wasn’t working. Each cabin has a propane grill and the one by ours was too dirty to use. There is no shade on the cabins or many of the tent sites and it’s often so hot here in the summer that the AC can’t cool very well. It was 82 in our cabin despite running the AC and keeping all the blinds closed. The pool is clean but very cold and there is no shade on the playground so go in the morning or evening if you don’t want to get burned. Nothing nearly except a Wendy’s and a convenience store. Trains going by all night nearby.
    Fine for one night, but don’t recommend an extended stay Note: they do not allow EV charging but there is no written policy anywhere on the website or in any of the registration emails.

    Wolf Lodge Campground

    Well taken care off

    Was looking for a tent site close to Coeur d‘Alene and found this park. The tent sites are on a grassy area by the creek. 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. Park is packed with RVs and families and there is no privacy whatsoever. Otherwise very well taken care off with little shop and nice clean restrooms/showers.

    KOA

    Large KOA conveniently located near I-90. Very clean bathrooms/showers. Pool, playground, community fire pit, and multiple dog areas. Generally quiet area except a nearby train blowing its horn a couple times during the night.

    Hawleys Landing Campground — Heyburn State Park

    Great Campground but loud maintenance

    We stayed at Chatcolet campground for two nights in late June. The campground is really nice with lovely hosts and clean flushable toilets. We booked site 128 and didn’t realise it was a tent only site with a short walk from where you park to the picnic table, fire ring and tent pad. We have a rooftop tent so we parked and set up our tent and then just carried our chairs, food and wood down to the picnic table. Privacy on these sites isn’t the best, I would recommend booking this site along with 129 as a group site to give yourself good privacy.

    Overall this campground was great, the toilets were clean, they are porcelain, flushing toilets inside a hut. There was drinking water and some nice walks to the lake, if you have bicycles there is a really nice cycle that you can do. The reason for rating this 3 out of 5 is that there was very noisy and intrusive maintenance going on from 7am to 5pm in the sites next to us which was very disruptive. No warning had been given about maintenance in the campground, notice was only given regarding roadworks leading into the campground.

Biking on paved trails: Hawleys Landing Campground offers direct access to the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, a paved biking path crossing over the lake. One regular visitor explains, "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, and finish your day with ice cream at Harrison Creamery and Fudge Factory!"

What campers like

Cabin accessibility and layout: Cabins at Wolf Lodge Campground provide convenient overnight options with practical layouts. A visitor mentioned, "We booked through Airbnb. When we arrived, we learned that the campground was an old KOA. It had a decent shower room and we stayed in a small, clean cabin right by the entrance of the park."

Community gathering spaces: Sedlmayer's Resort & Campground offers cabins with access to communal fire pits and delivers personal fire pits upon request. "Fire pits are communal but we didn't mind it all, so we went to buy wood at the store. They asked if we had a fire pit and we said no so they delivered us our own personal fire pit and wood to our campsite," reports a satisfied camper.

Swimming areas with family-friendly features: Many cabin locations provide access to designated swimming areas on the lake. A visitor to Farragut State Park notes, "The Beaver Bay swimming is wonderful and perfect for all ages," while another camper at Sedlmayer's Resort adds, "Peaceful, quiet, and beautiful! Right on the lakefront with your own private beach."

What you should know

Site spacing considerations: Cabin sites at many locations are positioned close together, affecting privacy. A visitor to Tamarack RV Park And Vacation Cabins observed, "Campsites are very close together, we could nearly reach out and touch our neighbors," while another noted, "Wish there was space to sit outside at the picnic table but spaces are too tight."

Seasonal availability variations: While some cabin facilities operate year-round, many have limited seasons. Liberty Lake Regional Park operates from May 17 to September 15, and Camp Coeur D'Alene runs from May 20 to September 15.

Noise factors: Several cabin locations experience noise from nearby roads or transportation routes. A Wolf Lodge Campground visitor reported, "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."

Kid-friendly swimming locations: Choose cabins near established swimming areas with gradual entries. A visitor to Riverside State Park mentioned, "There is a nice cement slab just in the water so it makes a safe place for kids."

Educational opportunities: Some parks near cabin facilities offer learning experiences. A visitor to Farragut State Park notes, "This is one huge park. I wanted to stay here as my father went through Naval basic training here in 1942. Since then the base has been turned into a college and then into a state park. A nice museum is located here with the history of the naval training base."

Tips from RVers

Seasonal road access: Riverside State Park has limitations for larger vehicles. "The largest site length is 45 feet, so large RVs won't fit," advises one visitor, while another cautions about seasonal access: "The road in was kinda sketchy if you are pulling a large RV."

Utility connections: Check specific cabin sites for available connections if supplementing with an RV. A camper at Farragut State Park notes, "Water and electricity at site. Plenty of trails to walk. Three dump and water stations," while another mentions, "Our electric post was damaged so cord kept coming unhooked. Had to bungee cord it."

Reservation timing: Peak season requires advance booking for cabins and RV sites alike. "We were there over July 4th weekend and they had a fireworks display on the beach," mentions a visitor to Liberty Lake, highlighting the popularity during holidays.
