    Mirror Lake: Bigfoot Campout

    Hidden Gem

    Great place to stay, very close to the lake ($5 access). Only about 20 minutes from Sandpoint.  Clean and clear camping spot.  Follow the directions you get from Dyrt!

    Schweitzer Mountain Fire Station

    Beautiful Drive & Free

    Came up here to escape the 90+ degree heat.  Seemed like everything in the area was either booked or $70 per night, so I opted for mountain air rather than AC on my trailer.

    Scenic 15 minute drive up from Sandpoint.  It's a paved two lane road with a number of switchbacks - I think even larger rigs should be fine as the hairpins were pretty wide.  Fire station and RV parking is located to the left of a large roundabout with a green Schweitzer sign.  Big gravel lot with space for dozens of rigs.  You shouldn't have trouble finding space.  There's a restroom and a number of garbage dumpsters you can use.

    Per the website, you're allowed to camp there for three days.  Didn't appear to be any check-in process or anything, you can just pull up and park.

    There's some road noise with a number of trucks driving by, but hey, it's a free place to camp for a few days.  Nice of them to offer this.

    Wolf Lodge Campground

    RV Park few miles from Couer D'Alene

    Standard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park.  Decent amount of highway noise

    River Walk RV Park

    Parking lot near river and bike trail

    It 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.

    Blue Lake RV Resort

    Cute RV park

    Cute little RV park off the highway. Very quite with a small lake. Families can enjoy fishing, swimming, yard games, fire pit, and very dog friendly with a fenced dog park. We are tent campers and had a nice spot on lake. only a few tent sites. Super clean bathrooms with hot shower.

    Liberty Lake RV Campground

    Looks like a parking lot with RVs

    This 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.

    Coeur d'Alene RV Resort

    Nice Public Bldg

    We 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.

    Wolf Lodge Campground

    Clean and convenient

    Made my reservation for an overnight stay over the phone on my way there. Staff was very kind and friendly. I came after the office was closed and a map was left for which tent site was mine. Very clean campgrounds, had a cute little dog park in it too. Ample amount of restrooms and showers available, that were spotless and well stocked.

    Liberty Lake RV Campground

    City Slicker Camping

    All in all our trip was great. The campground is very clean and well maintained. All of the spots had big pads that were very easy to maneuver around. Very dog friendly park with a fenced off off lease dog park that was easy to access. The swimming pool was fantastic as well. If you are looking for a true outdoors in the woods camping spot this is not the place for you. You are maybe half mile from I-90 and road noise can be heard all hours. You are also in the middle of the town Liberty Lake. Minutes from Safeway, McDonalds and Starbucks. If that is your cup of tea this is the place for you.
