Cabin accommodations near Chattaroy, Washington provide overnight options within the forested landscape of eastern Washington state, approximately 20 miles north of Spokane at an elevation of around 1,900 feet. The area experiences warm, dry summers with temperatures regularly reaching the 80s and cold winters with significant snowfall. Camp Coeur D'Alene's cabin area remains open from May 20 to September 15, with most other cabin facilities in the region following similar seasonal operations.
What to do
Hiking at Bowl and Pitcher: Access the suspension bridge and trail system at Bowl and Pitcher Campground for day hikes along the Spokane River. "There is tons of wildlife and lots of trails and riverbank to explore. My favorite thing was the suspension bridge over the river. Lots of space for swimming and fishing," notes one visitor.
Fishing at Loon Lake: Catch trout, bass, and perch at Deer Lake Resort where cabin guests have direct water access. "This place has it all! Showers, weekend breakfast, a store, a kayak launch, you name it. This is a great place to come with your family and enjoy a day on the lake," reports a camper who stayed in the lakefront cabins.
Water recreation: Rent boats and water equipment at regional cabin facilities for summer activities. "Great spot to stay for a bit. They have cabins and rv spots and car/tent spots with direct lake access and kayaks/peddleboats to rent," mentions a guest at Camp Coeur D'Alene.
What campers like
Cabin variety: The camping cabins near Chattaroy offer diverse accommodation styles from rustic to fully furnished. "The campground has beautiful treed sites with lots of amenities. They are redoing the pool, and the bathrooms are very clean," reports a visitor at Camp Coeur D'Alene.
Wildlife viewing: Many cabin sites provide opportunities to see local wildlife. A camper at Liberty Lake Regional Park notes, "There were deer in the campground every day, we saw moose, owls, pilated woodpecker, and hawks."
Peaceful locations: Cabin rentals often provide more privacy than standard campsites. "This is a larger campground great for RV, trailers and tents. The sites are enclosed in a circle, making a nice walk or bike ride," states a camper about Bowl and Pitcher Campground.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during peak summer months. "We did not have reservations beforehand and got the last space available on a Monday. Advise reservations," warns a camper at Liberty Lake Regional Park.
Amenities vary widely: Check what each cabin includes before booking. "Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries," while some provide more comprehensive furnishings.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between cabin locations. One visitor noted about Bowl and Pitcher, "This is a perfect getaway for people looking to unplug as no cell service is available," while another cabin facility reported, "TMobile cell service was surprisingly slow given our proximity to Spokane."
Tips for camping with families
Convenient kitchen options: Select cabins with cooking facilities for easier family meals. "This CG has everything you can ask for from Kayaks on lake CDA to shower, laundry etc and more than one. Everyone is very friendly and just want you to have a good time! Camp sites are well thought out," explains a visitor at Camp Coeur D'Alene.
Safe swimming areas: Choose cabin locations with designated swimming spots for children. "This is a place that my family and I visit a lot. We love how calm the river is and the convenience of bringing dogs. There is a nice cement slab just in the water so it makes a safe place for kids," reports a visitor at Bowl and Pitcher.
Entertainment options: Look for cabin facilities with on-site activities for children. "We showed up May 1st, the first day they opened! The campground has beautiful treed sites with lots of amenities. They are redoing the pool, and the bathrooms are very clean. Very friendly staff. Hiked the trail on the backside of the campground, which followed along a stream," shares a visitor at Amongst The Pines.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose cabins near hookup areas if combining RV and cabin camping with family groups. "Sites one through 18 are on the river and much more spacious and have full utilities. We enjoyed the beauty of the Spokane River, walking across the suspension bridge and hiking the trails," explains an RV camper who stayed at Bowl and Pitcher Campground.
Access considerations: Some cabin areas have limited access for larger vehicles. "The road in was kinda sketchy if you are pulling a large RV. It is surrounded by a heavily wooded area that is very beautiful and well kept up," warns a visitor to Liberty Lake Regional Park.
Alternative accommodations: Consider casino resort cabins for additional amenities. "Nice park with concrete sites available. But free Internet leaves something to be desired," notes a visitor to Northern Quest RV Resort, which offers cabin options alongside its RV facilities.
