Local community events: Seasonal festivals and university events draw visitors to the area. "If your here to see a game or experience a local event, then it will suit your needs," mentions a visitor about Latah County Fairgrounds RV Park.
What campers like
Convenient shopping access: Many parks offer proximity to grocery stores. "There is a nice playground and it's walking distance from Safeway," reports a Latah County Fairgrounds camper.
Peaceful settings: Despite highway proximity, some parks maintain quiet environments. "It as very quiet and there was a walking/biking path along the river," shares a camper about Soaring Hawk RV Resort, adding "Hells canyon is right up the road for tours going thru the rapids."
Shade availability: Tree cover varies significantly between parks. "I've never paid so much for a tent site in my entire life. It's important to note that even though it says it's an RV Park there are tent spots offered here. There were enough trees to set up our hammocks!" reports a visitor at Pines RV Park.
What you should know
Site spacing concerns: Many parks have limited space between sites. "The RV sites are very close together but they do come with electric hookups and water on each site. Depending what site you have, if you are towing a trailer you may have to drop it off and park at another location," advises a Latah County Fairgrounds camper.
Proximity to transportation: Train noise affects some locations. "There are train tracks very very close, but it was not disruptive surprisingly for the time we were there," notes a visitor at Palouse RV Park.
Seasonal considerations: Winter camping requires preparation. "I've been in search of local winter camping spots," mentions a Pines RV Park visitor, suggesting limited winter camping options in the region.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks offer play areas for children. "There was a playground on site but other than that it's nothing special," reports a Pines RV Park visitor.
Security considerations: Park management presence varies. "The park manager was very social. I don't mind but if you want privacy you may want to stay at a different location. My partner likes the privacy camping brings. We will never return, but if you have safety concerns with children, I can see this as being a bonus," shares a visitor at Pines RV Park.
Local activities: Nearby attractions can enhance family stays. "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," notes a visitor at Gone West RV.
