Dragoon Creek Campground's spacious sites welcome pet owners with clean grounds and generous 3-day stay limits with a Washington Discover Pass. Pets must remain leashed throughout this DNR-managed facility, where campsites are well-spaced with natural vegetation providing privacy between sites. Riverside State Park also accommodates pets at its Bowl and Pitcher Campground, Nine Mile Recreation Area, and throughout the park's extensive trail system. Most campgrounds in the Chattaroy area require pets to be leashed at all times, with owners responsible for waste cleanup. Sites at Liberty Lake Regional Park and Mount Spokane State Park maintain pet-friendly policies while offering diverse accommodation options including tent sites, RV spots, and some cabin facilities. Campground hosts make regular rounds to ensure pet policies are followed, particularly during peak summer months when the grounds reach capacity.
Pet owners frequently utilize nearby trails in Mount Spokane State Park and along the Little Spokane River for dog exercise. Water access at Dragoon Creek provides a shallow wading area suitable for dogs needing cooling off during summer months, though it's not substantial enough for swimming. Several campgrounds experience significant bee activity during summer months, requiring pet owners to monitor animals for potential stings or allergic reactions. The Spokane KOA Journey and Deer Park RV Resort offer more developed facilities for those wanting amenities like full hookups while traveling with pets. Local veterinary services are available in Deer Park and northern Spokane, approximately 15-25 minutes from most campgrounds. Winter camping with pets is limited primarily to Riverside State Park and the Spokane KOA, as Dragoon Creek and other DNR sites typically close from Labor Day to Memorial Day.
"Stayed here with my dog, pet friendly but the animals must be on a leash. Camp hosts are very attentive and make multiple rounds which is nice. Follow all posted rules and you’ll have a blast."
"It does require a Washington park pass and there is a camp post that comes around multiple times during the day to check everyone’s and make sure they are not extending their stay past the limit."
"Standard State Park facilities set near downtown Spokane in a beautiful river gorge. You don't feel close to the city at all here with plenty of space to hike and bike. The dogs loved it too."
"Multiple water spigots close by. Lots of walking trails nearby and a cool suspension bridge over the river. Other than the lack of solitude, absolutely no complaints."
from $12 - $141 / night
Check Availability"Sites were narrow had to ask a fellow camper to move his truck was very difficul to manuver the camp ground streets Large beautiful trees Facilities were clean Laundry was adequate Dog poop everywhere"
"It is located in between Spokane proper and Coeur d'Alene (so Spokane Valley). There are tons of spots to choose from, but it gets pretty busy in the summer."
from $50 - $300 / night
Check Availability"It doesn't seem like a heavily used campground, possibly because of it's close proximity to the city or maybe because there are no swimming areas nearby."
"Spokane is Washington's largest state park, it is a little odd that they have so few campsites (eight of them, if I'm remembering correctly), but I certainly don't mind a small campground."
from $31 / night
Check Availability"Tucked back behind a neighborhood of fairly luxurious homes and sitting near the lake, these sites offer a nice spot to catch a breath while traveling."
"Regardless, I still enjoyed my time with my dog and the tent sites were nicely shaded so I wasn't baking in them."
from $25 / night
Check Availability"The sites share electric and water, no sewer and are positioned oddly they are on the off side and in front by the road. Some 30and 50 amp just check the box."
"We had 3 spots all next to each other with plenty of room in between. Lots of activities for the kids and all around fun."
"They have mini golf, real golf, pool, sana, fitness fun, lounge area, kids playground, dog area, and more."
"We had as I call, circle the wagons layout. 4 RV spots are placed around a common grass area. This would be nice for a group, but a bit weird for a stranger placed in this circle."
from $60 / night
Check Availability"The toilets were nice and clean and there’s a nearby walking path through the woods that was covered in wildflowers!"
"The resort is right on Long Lake, there is an area to swim, and it’s a good spot for waterskiing. There are picnic pavilions and a boat launch, and lots of camping sites."
"Good dog walking around the area."
"The camp ground we stayed at was maintained nicely and was very spacious where we weren't too close to our neighbors but were close enough to holler some of our camp fire stories around night time."
from $12 - $68 / night
Check Availability"The walking trails are great. Be ready for encounters with deer, rabbits, wild turkey, quail, and even the occasional elk and moose. Really love this place!"
LegendVery clean with all the trim :) space between units, a dog park and playground, and nearby to restaurants while being just far enough on the edge of town to feel as such
LegendIt 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.
LegendStandard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park. Decent amount of highway noise
ScoutQuiet, spacious, beautiful smell of pine trees. Wouldn’t want to drive in after dark though. Two large dog parks. Park is gravel and you may need to do a little leveling, but it isn’t bad at all. Had enough room to park my 44’ rig and my truck right next to it. Would definitely come here again.
ScoutI’ve never been so harassed before by a campground for having a pet. Definitely not pet friendly. There is literally one tree they make you stay at and you can’t walk the campground with your dog.
ScoutGreat new campground right outside of Plummer. 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. There's several different sections to stay in, a dog park, lodge and laundry area. I would definitely come again.
GuideThis is a newer campground in Airway Heights very close to the Spokane Airport and near the Northern Quest Casino. The campground has a pool, gym, dog park, and has free shuttle service to casino and airport. Very nice bathrooms (just not enough) also the trees are small, but once the trees mature there will be nice shade areas. Lots to do in the area and shopping very close. End of the day I will be staying here again.
LegendThis 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.
GuideWe 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.
Seasonal campgrounds near Chattaroy typically close between late September and mid-May, with higher elevation sites shutting down earlier due to snowfall. The area sits at elevations ranging from 1,700 to 3,000 feet, creating temperature differences of 10-15 degrees compared to Spokane. Most campgrounds have fluctuating occupancy patterns with midweek availability common even during summer months.
Disc golf at county parks: Pend Oreille County Park offers an 18-hole disc golf course through forested terrain. "Over 7 miles worth of trails and Disc Golf all free. We just ask that you donate to the park, if able. All improvements are done by donations," notes reviewer Theresanne V.
Hiking with elevation gains: Mount Spokane State Park provides trails with significant wildflower displays in early summer. "There's a very nice hiking trail right across the road from the campground that has great scenic views along the way and lots of wildflowers. The peak of the mountain is a short drive from the campsite and I absolutely recommend driving up there to watch the sunset," reports Kelsey G.
Huckleberry picking: August visitors to Mount Spokane often find abundant huckleberries on designated trails. One camper noted, "We encountered A LOT of hikers and huckleberry pickers. There were still tons of berries left to be picked and we saw many people carrying buckets full."
Affordability options: Pend Oreille County Park provides budget-friendly camping with basic amenities. "Camping $20/night. Day Use, Hiking, Horseback riding, Over 7 miles worth of trails and Disc Golf all free," explains a camp host. Some campers appreciate the primitive nature: "We are a primitive (boondock) campground. If you enjoy hiking, trail riding (bicycle/horse), Disc Golf, or just kicking back and listening to the birds or the wind in the trees, this is the place for you."
Temperature relief: Bald Knob Campground provides significantly cooler temperatures during summer heat waves. "I went camping here in early July when Spokane had a heat wave of over 100 degrees temperature everyday, and on Mt. Spokane the temperatures were a good 10-15 degrees cooler," reports Freddie Faith M.
Clean facilities: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Chattaroy maintain pristine restroom facilities. At Lake Spokane Campground, "Bathrooms with showers, beautiful sites, water access. Very nice," notes Julie K. Another camper adds, "The bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day which got rid of my fear of a gross abandoned bathroom."
Seasonal closures affect planning: Lake Spokane Campground closes annually in late October. One camper reported, "Trees, water access, flushing toilets and showers. Great CG but closes tomorrow (10/21) for winter." Another noted it's typically open "May 15 to October 1."
Site selection matters: Significant site quality variations exist within campgrounds. At Mount Spokane, "I booked the last available campsite at the campground for our trip as it was last minute, it was definitely the worst of the campsites but it still was not that bad. I'd stay at that same site (site #2, btw) if it was the only one available again. It had a single tree (so no hammock setup for us) which did little to offer any shade."
Train noise affects light sleepers: Spokane KOA Journey experiences frequent train activity. "It is right next to an active railroad, so bring earplugs if you don't want to be woken up by trains several times," advises Kristen M. Another camper confirms, "The trains have been quite frequent day and night... and for some reason so has a rooster (all morning, day, and evening... it's crazy)."
Water play options: Several campgrounds provide swimming areas with safety features. "There is a nice cement slab just in the water so it makes a safe place for kids," explains Arica C. about Riverside State Park.
Structured activities: Some campgrounds organize scheduled programs for children. "They do a breakfast I think on summer weekends, but that might have just been for the holiday weekend," reports one camper. Another mentions, "They have daily activities if you want to keep busy or keep the kids busy."
Playground proximity: Request sites near recreational amenities for convenience with children. "If you are camping with kids the spots closer to the playground equipment are perfect," suggests Dan P. Campers also note that some parks organize "activities for the kids" during peak summer weekends.
Site layout configuration: Some RV parks feature communal layouts to accommodate groups. "We had as I call, circle the wagons layout. 4 RV spots are placed around a common grass area. This would be nice for a group, but a bit weird for a stranger placed in this circle. Other sites configurations are available," explains Patrick J. about Deer Park RV Resort.
Limited sewer options: Many campgrounds lack full hookups. "We spent 3 weeks at Liberty Lake Regional Park while visiting our son and grandkids in Spokane. The dump station is quite a drive, back out, up the hill," reports Joel R.
Service availability: Some campgrounds offer enhanced amenities for RVers. "They collect your trash at your site every day, and have a propane delivery service so you can get your tanks filled without having to get out of your slippers," notes Zanna H.
