RV campgrounds near Cusick, Washington offer varied camping experiences across the northeastern region of the state. The Pend Oreille River valley reaches elevations between 2,000-2,500 feet, creating a cooler microclimate compared to surrounding areas. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F during the day, dropping to 50-60°F at night, with limited cell service available in more remote locations.
What to do
Fishing access: Jump Off Joe Lake Resort provides direct lake access with good fishing opportunities. "The lake is small and warm. There is great fishing. The staff are all super sweet," notes one camper who spent three nights at the location.
Golfing opportunities: RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club offers discounted golf rates for campers. "This is a great spot for golfers as well as non golfers. Note the club has pickle ball courts for free use! Great little restaurant and bar on site too with very cheap drinks ($9 Moscow mule!)," shares a reviewer.
Kayaking routes: The Pend Oreille River and nearby lakes offer paddling opportunities. "The golf course is beautiful and the area has backroads to all kinds of little towns with good burger joints. Kayaking very close," reports a Chewelah Golf & Country Club reviewer who lives and works at the facility.
Theme park access: Silverwood RV Park connects directly to Silverwood Theme Park via a pedestrian tunnel. "5 minute walk to theme parks under the highway. Site 74 backed up to a fence. Had no neighbors. But was furthest from the parks," explains a recent visitor who found the location convenient.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Eagles Landing RV Resort maintains well-kept shower facilities. "We loved this spot and will definitely be going back. Everyone was so nice and the bathrooms were beautiful and so clean," writes one five-star reviewer.
Peaceful settings: Willow Bay RV Resort & Marina offers a quiet lakeside environment. "The site really is beautiful - so green and well-kept, respecting the green belt area. I personally like that the pitches aren't marked out - it saves the grass and gives a lovely meadowy feel!" reports a visitor.
Swimming areas: Jump Off Joe Lake Resort includes designated swimming zones with floating docks. "Love JOJ, I have been coming here since I was 5 or so, beautiful location, fishing, camping; cabins, tents or RV. Swimming with floating dock, and playground area," mentions a regular visitor.
Resort amenities: Deer Park RV Resort offers numerous on-site services. "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," explains a satisfied camper who paid $60 per night.
What you should know
Site configurations: Some RV parks feature unique layout designs. "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," notes a Deer Park RV Resort visitor.
Road noise: Location relative to highways can impact sleep quality. "This spot was on track for 5-stars until the road noise from logging trucks became an issue starting at 3AM," mentions a Chewelah Golf & Country Club RV Park reviewer.
Train proximity: City of Sandpoint, City Beach RV Park sits near active rail lines. "Location is awesome very convenient but being right next to the train tracks is a bummer," warns a visitor who still gave the park a 3-star rating despite the noise.
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds in the region operate from late spring through early fall. "Yearly visits!" explains a Jump Off Joe Lake Resort visitor, but notes the resort only operates seasonally from April through October.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Jump Off Joe Lake provides family-friendly water activities. "We spent 3 nights here last week with our family and everyone had a great time. The lake is small and warm," shares a satisfied camper who appreciated the shaded sites.
Playground access: Jump Off Joe Lake Resort and RV Park includes children's play areas. "This was a beautiful place, but they charge extra for the 2 dogs and then the extra kid to since our family is 2 adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs. camp sites are priced on a 4-person base. Does have a playground and a swim area, lots of nice shade trees," mentions a visitor noting the extra costs.
Theme park packages: Silverwood RV Park offers convenient access to both theme and water parks. "A slamdunk if you're going to silverwood. The amenities are nice - showers, bathrooms, great little store. Spaces feel spaced out. We were in loop F. Highly recommend. Kids loved the playground too," reports a five-star reviewer.
Pet policies: Most RV campgrounds in Cusick allow pets with restrictions. "This is a five star campground based on our criteria. Only reason we give it four stars is they are letting the only trees they have for shade die and they are creating a mess. No shade without them. Grounds are largely in disarray. Also washers are top load agitator type. There are many positives though that will bring us back. It is largely a quiet small campground. It is very reasonably priced and is very dog friendly," notes a Chewelah Golf & Country Club reviewer.
Tips from RVers
Back-in considerations: Kalispel RV Resort accommodates mid-sized trailers. "Sites are back in only and accommodated our 26' travel trailer well. Site included enough space for a tow vehicle and one other vehicle. All nicely and newly paved," reports a recent visitor.
Hookup positioning: Check utility connection placement before setup. At Eagles Landing, one visitor noted "hookups are on the wrong side at most of the sites," which can require additional hose and cable lengths.
Maintenance issues: Assess facility upkeep before booking. "Nice appearance, but not desirable. No sewer connection or place to dump. Spaces not well marked and uneven. Bathroom and showers rundown and not cleaned," warns a Willow Bay RV Resort visitor who gave a one-star review.
Reservation timing: Many Cusick area RV parks fill quickly during summer months. "This is a relatively new property as evidenced by the smallish trees and lack of other shrubbery," notes a Kalispel RV Resort visitor, adding that while amenities are minimal, the customer service is excellent.
