Dogs must be leashed and picked up after, with no breed restrictions noted. Tamarack RV Park and Vacation Cabins provides pet-friendly accommodations including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabins, though spaces are close together under mature trees providing good shade. Camp Coeur D'Alene and Blackwell Island RV Park also accept pets in all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spaces, and cabin options when available. Most campgrounds near Hayden Lake require pets to remain on leash at all times, with dedicated pet waste stations located throughout the grounds.

Mokins Bay Campground offers forested pet-friendly sites with access to Hayden Lake via steep trails suitable for active dogs. The wooded setting provides natural shade and privacy between sites, with multiple tent location options within each campsite. Alpine Country Store & RV Park features excellent grassy areas for dogs with convenient access to pet supplies at the adjacent store. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, with violation potentially resulting in being asked to leave. When camping with pets near Hayden Lake, prepare for occasional wildlife encounters and train dogs to respond to recalls. Sites at Kootenai County Fairgrounds lack mature shade trees, making summer camping potentially uncomfortable for pets in hot weather. Tent campers should note that some locations require tents to be placed on gravel pads rather than grass areas, which may affect comfort for dogs that typically rest outside the tent.

LegendStayed here on our last night returning home from Colorado. We had the whole campground to ourselves. It’s a great spot for one or a few nights. Heavy woods. We had a great spot with walk Down to a view of Hayden lake. Would camp here again. Very winding road to get to the campground but good pavement. Pit toilets. Fire wood is for sale . Forest service campground with senior national parks discount.
RangerMokins Bay Campground is located on Hayden Lake. We camped here June 2016. This campground has vault toilets, although very clean. They have potable water and buckets to use for putting out your camp fires nightly. There is a little bit of hiking area right close, but the groundskeeper said to not swim in the area around the camp. This part of the lake is used for fishing so there are lots of lures and hooks in the water, not safe. There really was no beach area for swimming here either and the camp DOESN'T sit right on the lake.
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.

The campground also provides "free canoes" which makes water activities accessible without additional equipment costs.
Horseshoe tournaments: Many campsites feature community horseshoe pits for friendly competition. Liberty Lake Regional Park has "paved/gravel roads" and is "close to play structure and small beach," making it ideal for mixing outdoor activities with beach time.
Moose sightings: Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with resident moose near some campgrounds. At Camp Coeur D'Alene, one camper mentioned "nearby wildlife, including a resident moose. We didn't get to see her but enjoyed looking."
Private shower facilities: Blackwell Island RV Park offers individual bathroom/shower combinations rather than communal facilities. A guest noted, "Nice private bathroom/with shower. Nice laundry facilities. Free cable and spotty wifi."
Creek-side tent sites: Beauty Creek Campground provides rustic tent sites with creek access when water is flowing. "Creek doesn't seem to run most of the year but that was alright with me. There are a number of sites around a field and a few more further up in the campground and more secluded," reports one camper at Beauty Creek Campground.
Site spacing varies significantly: Tamarack RV Park offers mature trees but tight quarters between campers. A visitor observed: "The spaces are small. However, the restrooms and showers are very nice and convenient."
Interstate noise levels: Several campgrounds near Hayden Lake sit close to I-90, creating consistent traffic noise. At Wolf Lodge Campground, one reviewer warned: "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."

Water safety considerations: Lake access often involves steep terrain that may challenge small children. At Whitetail Campground, a visitor cautioned: "The water was close but it is a steep grade down and back out of the water which made bringing a kayak or SUP difficult."
Dump station access: Multiple dump stations exist near Hayden Lake for convenience. Kootenai County Fairgrounds offers "a sewer dump station with 4 dumps, located just west of this park."
Site leveling challenges: Many RV sites require leveling blocks or equipment. At Liberty Lake Regional Park, a camper advised: "Bring your blocks. Nice cozy camp site. Can be a bit crowded but is nice here."
Power considerations: Spokane KOA Journey provides special tent site shelters beneficial during rain. "The tent sites had a nice triangular metal and wood canopy for shelter from rain and also for shade. It is right next to an active railroad, so bring earplugs if you don't want to be woken up by trains several times."
