ScoutRight in the middle of civilization, and packed in, but very nice. Nice trees, nice facilities, well maintained. Families are here, well behaved. Booked online. The owner noticed us and introduced himself. Will use again when I want the amenities.
GuideThe only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because it’s a high density campground. There are some nice features like a community grilling area and laundry. Plenty of showers and bathrooms and they were clean. There is a small patch of grass between each site and a picnic table for each site. The sites and roads are asphalt. Our site was level. Very clean campground.
GuideI 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.
GuideBeautiful campgrounds, deeply immersed in rules.
GuideMe and the pup had a lot of fun there only stayed two nights
LegendThis 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.
LegendThis campground was a KOA but has now changed to “Roam Spokane”. I don’t know what difference it makes. We arrived at 12:15 after a 5 hour drive, with lots of construction, (and a reservation) to be told check in isn’t till 1:00 pm. They eventually gave us our spot at 12:30. The site is small, barely large enough for our 20ft. Travel trailer plus tow vehicle. 30/50 amp available. Also tent sites and cabins. Lots of dust and dead grass. The railroad runs directly behind the campground so it’s noisy at times. The bathrooms and showers are clean, one of the 4 showers was out of service! There is a laundry, playground, pool, dog park, basketball court, and dump station. The internet is pretty good.
ScoutThis is no longer a KoA. It’s a private mobile home park now. Sad for us.
GuideVery nice place, paved and level!! Mature pine trees very tall!
