The Moscow, Idaho area offers motorhome travelers several RV campground options within a 30-mile radius. At 2,579 feet elevation, the region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 80°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Cell service quality varies significantly between campgrounds, with stronger signals in developed areas and weaker connectivity in outlying parks.
What to do
Trail access: Robinson County Park provides electric-only RV sites near hiking trails. "Such a nice place! It's a little tight to get into with a bigger rig, we have a 32ft class A, but overall it's really nice. 5 spots with 20/30/50 amps and only $25 every 24 hours," notes a visitor to Robinson County Park.
Water activities: RVers staying at Premier RV Resort can access waterfront recreation. "We booked a last minute one night stay here. Our spot was by the water and walking path along the lake. The spot was paved with lawn surrounding," reports one camper at Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake.
Local events: Seasonal events bring additional activities for visitors. "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," shares a camper about summer activities at Soaring Hawk.
What campers like
Affordability: Robinson County Park offers budget-friendly options. "This is a great place to take your dog for a walk. The trail is a nice loop through the woods, and there is a nice picnic area, swings, and volleyball court," writes one visitor.
Convenience: Multiple campgrounds provide easy access to local shopping. "The park was beautiful the bathrooms were just remodeled. You were not super close to your neighbors. There was a walking/biking path along the river. Hells Canyon is right up the road for tours going thru the rapids," explains a visitor to Soaring Hawk RV Resort.
Pet amenities: Several parks accommodate pets with dedicated areas. "Quiet, spacious, beautiful smell of pine trees. Two large dog parks. Park is gravel and you may need to do a little leveling, but it isn't bad at all," reports a Soaring Hawk guest.
What you should know
Site spacing: Varies significantly between parks. "Admittedly I camp to gain distance from people and cities, so my review will have that lean. This site is within the city limits and quite run down. Lacks a sense of immersion in nature, sites are right on top of one another," states one visitor about Pullman RV Park.
Seasonal operations: Many RV campgrounds near Moscow close during winter months. "This RV park is right in town near all the local amenities. Lots to do here, hiking, boating, swimming. There are nice shade trees and nice space between campsites," notes a summer visitor to Pines RV Park.
Additional fees: Some parks charge beyond the base rate. "The biggest thing I disliked about this site is that the 30 dollars they charged us was not enough. They will charge an additional 3 dollars per head and 5 dollars for an additional car. If you go in a group like we did, that really adds up," warns a camper about Pines RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks offer play structures for children. "There is a nice playground and it's walking distance from Safeway. If your here to see a game or experience a local event, then it will suit your needs," mentions a visitor to Latah County Fairgrounds.
Child policies: Verify child restrictions before booking. "The manager does NOT allow kids although this is not advertised or posted anywhere! We were lucky to have only made contact with the assistants which were great but the manager not so much," cautions a family who stayed at Hillview RV Park.
Campus proximity: University events provide family-friendly activities. "The tent sites are very close together and are right near to a road. There's a cute bridge that separates the RV camping from the tent camping with various day use areas," explains a camper describing Robinson County Park.
Tips from RVers
Rig size considerations: Carefully evaluate park access for larger motorhomes. "Fairly private on a Saturday. Only a couple spots, but no competition. Drive in was a bit concerning with a 13'4" height. Routed through neighborhood in addition to power line height concerns," warns an RV owner about Robinson County Park.
Level sites: Some parks require additional equipment. "Had enough room to park my 44' rig and my truck right next to it. Would definitely come here again," notes a visitor to Soaring Hawk regarding spacious sites.
Wi-Fi reliability: Connectivity varies between Moscow area RV campgrounds. "If you are looking for a convenient place to stay in the Palouse region, this campground was easy to pull into and register using their app! Loved watching the harvest trucks bringing the crops into the co-op across the street," reports a visitor to Gone West RV.
