  Pullman RV Park

  Management is very prompt professional And polite

  Love the spot i chose-shaded RV site $35 per night. Very quiet except for occasional street noise because I was near the tent site and tent camping. Very close to this beautiful historic town with scenic views like no other. Highly recommend.

  Robinson County Park

  Great place for day use. Camping is Meh.

  The tent sites are very close together and are right near to a road.

  The RV sites are decent with a bbq and a bench. There are spots to have a bonfire, but it won’t be on your site if you have a RV.

  There’s a cute bridge that separates the RV camping from the tent camping with various day use areas. There is a park that’s across the field from the RV cites with a playground and bonfire spot.

  Scenic Six Park

  Quiet, lots of shade, well kept and maintained

  I camp in my vehicle, so I rented a tent site. They gave me a RV site because they were not full, same price as tent site.

  The owner was very friendly and helpful. The campsite was nice and level. The bathrooms we are very clean, there was only one shower and the ladies, but it was very clean and well-kept.

  I may have to come this way a couple more times in the future, for work. And if I do, I will definitely camp here again!

  Winchester Lake State Park Campground

  Beautiful tall pines!

  We have come here to fish on several occasions but never camped! We tent camp and we enjoy semi-level ground, which we had! The bathrooms are pit but are kept very clean!

  Rock Creek BLM Campground

  Remote and Quiet

  Stayed one night with two other campers.  The sites are designed for people with horses and RV's.  Tent camping was a little rough but worked.  Very dry area so expect dust.  The stars at night were amazing.

  Down By The Depot RV Park

  Allows Tents on RV sites (Don’t Recommend)

  This park is very attractive. It appears to be well maintained and cleaned.

  BUT... Do not tent camp here. I will admit I was hoping to hammock camp (I bring a tent too in case), and it was clear it would not be a camping environment.

  And, if you are an RV camper, there’s no spot to really hang outside. There’s no fire pits or tables on the sites.

  McKay's Bend Recreation Site

  Good area to hang out for a few hours.

  We checked this area while scouting spots for our logging sports team.

  There were very few tent site cams but a lot of RV areas.

  When we scouted it out, it was totally full. Because there’s so few spots for what we wanted we decided our chances of getting a spot elsewhere on the first show was more likely.

  Giant White Pine Campground

  Pretty campground but noisy road

  We checked out campground and the giant white pine but decided not to camp there due to its proximity to a busy road. Lots of logging trucks made it awfully noisy for tent camping. Might be OK in a RV. The 14 sites are spacious and pretty, and only $8 per night. No electric hookup available. There was a network of trails for hiking and biking originating from the campground.

  Chief Timothy Park

  Great small getaway close to town

  Chief Timothy is a great campground not far from clarkston that provides all he ammenties any camper would want. They have rv and tent sites available. Great atmosphere very well kept grounds makes this a great place to take your family! Pull thru sites for rvs makes it easy to come and go as you please. They have a designated swimming area and a boat launch if you have a boat. My family always loves camping here.

  Tucannon Campground

  Absolutely beautiful

  So, I should start by saying that we didn't end up camping here, as it's a first-come, first-serve camping site. It was about a two hour drive from Walla Walla, and we didn't get there in time to find an open camp site. We did drive around the entire camp site and walk around, and it was beautiful. Suitable for both RV and tent camping. I'd just like to warn potential campers that the GPS gave us the wrong directions and took us on this very backwoods road that was pretty much not a road and the side of a mountain. There is a real road going to this campsite!

  Emerald Creek Campground

  Gorgeous small campground

  This was the prettiest campground we stayed in during an extensive road trip through Idaho. It was only half occupied during the end of June, so we enjoyed privacy and numerous bird songs. Care and creativity were used when building the sites; ours had tent sites on 2 levels, and another had little stairs carved into the dirt. Our site was very large and had very stately evergreen trees and a trail heading out. Sites for RVs seemed nice, too. There were clean vault toilets and a pump for potable water...all for $6. There's a nearby site (4 miles away) where garnets can be sluiced For at a Forest Service site. We didn't go there but maybe next time, as we are eager to return!

  Chief Timothy Park

  Chief Timothy review , tents and cabins

  The actual location and grounds are amazing. Right on the Snake river. So much walking and fishing. And swimming. Kayaking. Even cat fishing. The tents sites are very crammed next to each other though. The cabins are cute and small. No bathrooms in them but there are Public bathrooms and showers. Very busy on major holidays in the summer.

  Pines RV Park

  Pricey but had a friendly enviroment.

  I’ve been in search of local winter camping spots. 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.

  I think the price is high just because it’s in touristy location.

  There were enough trees to set up our hammocks!

  The biggest thing I disliked about this site is that the 30 dollars they charges us was not enough. They will charge an additional 3 dollars per head and 5 dollars for an additional car.

  If you go in a group like we did, that really adds up. 🥵

  There was a playground on site but other than that it’s nothing special.

  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.

  Freeman Creek Campground — Dworshak State Park

  A little bit of everything!

  Freeman Creek at Dworshak State park has great opportunity for all levels of camping. Tent sites, RV/Trailer sites, or a few small primitive cabins (no bathrooms or kitchens in the cabins). There is also access to the reservoir for boating, fishing or to mini-camp sites all along the reservoir. Kokanee fishing is great from March to about late July. The spawn begins in August, so the fish move up the reservoir as the season progresses. Smallmouth bass fishing is great! The Idaho state Smallmouth record was caught in this lake. Day use parking is available for a small fee. For Idaho residents with the State Parks pass reduces the fee. A lot of wildlife viewing too! If you are lucky you may see a black bear feeding on blackberries, deer are numerous, elk frequent the lake, and one of my favorites is to watch Osprey dive in the lake for fish.

  I have been at this park in every month of the calendar, but only camped from April thru October.

  Little Boulder Campground

  Quiet Escape

  Located just south of Deary, ID this campground is usually quiet and has lots of camping sites. RVs can fit into most spots and there are designated areas for tents at each site. There is a short trail that encircles the campground with a longer hike across the road from the campground which follows the river.

  Premier RV Resort at Granite Lake

  Nice Weekend Stay

  Very friendly staff that keeps the facilities clean. Full hookups with lots of pull through spaces if needed. We fully utilized the bike path along the river each day for nice long rides into Idaho and back to Washington. Would stay again.

  Ladybug Campground

  This is a beautiful and quiet campground

  We were there in mid March, the only ones there at the time. There are seven campsites total, three can be accessed with an RV, we did ok with a 27' travel trailer, but I wouldn't recommend going there with anything larger. the rest of the sites would be tent only. There is a clean outhouse, no water or garbage service.  We will stay there again.
