City of Harrison RV Park & Campground offers full hookup spots for pets with riverfront sites located within walking distance of Lake Coeur d'Alene's public swimming area. Pets are permitted at all sites in the campground, which features electricity, water, sewer connections, and shower facilities. Leashed pets can accompany campers on the nearby Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes that runs directly behind the campground. Camp Coeur D'Alene, another pet-friendly option, accommodates dogs at both tent and RV sites, plus allows pets in their cabin rentals from May through September. Both campgrounds maintain clean facilities with fire rings and picnic tables at each site. The campgrounds have become popular destinations for visitors with pets seeking water access, as most sites are situated close to shorelines where dogs can cool off during summer months. Camping photos and user guides for Harrison, Idaho are available on The Dyrt.
The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes provides an excellent opportunity for exercising dogs on a 7-mile ride from Heyburn State Park to Harrison, where eagles swoop over the lake as cyclists pass. Hawleys Landing Campground in Heyburn State Park permits pets at its tent, RV, and cabin sites while offering access to both the trail system and lake activities. Pet owners should note that wildlife encounters are common in the area, so proper leashing is essential, particularly at dawn and dusk when animal activity increases. The steep terrain at some lakeside campgrounds like Bell Bay requires consideration when bringing pets down to water access points. Most campgrounds in the area maintain pet waste stations and enforce quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances. During peak summer season (June-August), advance reservations are strongly recommended for pet-friendly sites as they typically fill first, especially at waterfront locations.

LegendVery clean with all the trim :) space between units, a dog park and playground, and nearby to restaurants while being just far enough on the edge of town to feel as such
LegendStandard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise
LegendIt is hard to find many positives about this place. It has nothing to do with the people, but only about the "campground". It is a parking lot. No grass. Very tight. Lots of seasonal folks. There is a dog park. It Is right on the river. It is right on the bike trail. It is close to town. Beyond that. There is nothing that I deem attractive or desirable about this place. So for me personally, we passed. Please check out the photos and judge for yourself.
ScoutQuiet, spacious, beautiful smell of pine trees. Wouldn’t want to drive in after dark though. Two large dog parks. Park is gravel and you may need to do a little leveling, but it isn’t bad at all. Had enough room to park my 44’ rig and my truck right next to it. Would definitely come here again.
ScoutI’ve never been so harassed before by a campground for having a pet. Definitely not pet friendly. There is literally one tree they make you stay at and you can’t walk the campground with your dog.
ScoutGreat new campground right outside of Plummer. There's been some sort of entertainment each night we've been here, fire dancers Friday and Saturday, a 4th of july bbq, 2 bands and fireworks at midnight tonight. There's several different sections to stay in, a dog park, lodge and laundry area. I would definitely come again.
LegendThis is a newer RV park in Liberty Lake. They have only been open 2 years. Liberty Lake is between Spokane, WA and Coeur d’Alene ID. There are about 130 spaces or so, with concrete pads and paved streets. There is grass between sites, but they are much too close to be comfortable, and there is no shade! And, the rules!!! Lots more rules than most other camping areas.’ It also appears many of the residents are semi-permanent. They have free cable snd wifi, a dog park, playground, swimming pool, laundry, and dump station. The sites are 30/50 amp, most are pull through but the outer ring is back in. They also have propane. They are on the pricy side: an outside loop 50 ft. Site is $74/night. Good Sam gets you a 10% discount. It is easy access to I-90 both East and west.
GuideThis is a newer campground in Airway Heights very close to the Spokane Airport and near the Northern Quest Casino. The campground has a pool, gym, dog park, and has free shuttle service to casino and airport. Very nice bathrooms (just not enough) also the trees are small, but once the trees mature there will be nice shade areas. Lots to do in the area and shopping very close. End of the day I will be staying here again.
GuideWe stayed the night in January and had a late check-in. Paid $69 and had access to full hookups. If you are not there before 5 pm they will not share the code for the bathrooms, etc so beware! Neighbors are told not to give out the code so we had quite a time trying to get in! The public building has bathrooms, laundry, pool, small store and a nice lounge. Lots are quite close together but it is neatly laid out with a few dog parks.

Highway and railroad noise: Some campgrounds are located near busy transportation routes. At Wolf Lodge Campground, a visitor noted: "This campground is next to the interstate. I called last minute as we were driving through and was offered a tent site next to 'the creek'—turns out the creek is the ditch between the highway and campsite. It's loud, and bright with lights from the highway."
Seasonal insect activity: Mosquitos can be problematic, especially near water. A camper at Rainy Hill Campground reported: "Needed to find a camp spot last minute on a Friday evening.

Several hiking trails, including an equestrian trail, waterfall, fishing and lots of wildlife."
