"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."
"There are many picnic areas to choose from and trails that you can spend your day on. Situated next to the Spokane River, great scenery."
"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."
"If you want to camp but still be close to all the city amenities then this is the spot for you. Beautiful location by the river with miles of biking & walking trails."
"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."
"While some sites are more private than others they are all within walking distance to a drop toilet.
The only downside here would have to be the number of wasps throughout the grounds."
$30 - $97 / night
"We were heading to Lake Spokane Campground (LSC) and saw this site as we drove passed and thought it looked beautiful. We were put off by the reviews so carried onto LSC."
"Wonderful location on Lake Spokane, disappointing facilities not maintained"
"The toilets were nice and clean and there’s a nearby walking path through the woods that was covered in wildflowers!"

"This camping spot is conveniently located off a well groomed gravel road just a mile or so from the main paved road. It’s the first campsite we came to as we drove into Lake Roosevelt."

"This is a great place to come with your family and enjoy a day on the lake. They have big roomy sites and lots of lakefront."
"This campground has been around for awhile, but is under new ownership. It’s a really unique spot right on the shores of Loon Lake in Washington State."
$65 - $75 / night
"Easy to get around, quick access to a gas station and Wal-Mart is super close."
GuideGreat free camping near Spokane and supplies.
GuideGreat FREE camping near lakes, fishing. Vault toilets. Limited internet at top of road but none at lake side.
TravelerNearby campsites are far enough away that you have plenty of privacy. There is a creek that runs through this area, which is great for cooling off on hot days. Plenty of room for a few tents to go up and parking off the road.
GuideWe enjoyed our stay at this CCC built state park.
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. The mosquitoes on the trail were very present, but in the campground we saw very few. There are flush toilets and warm showers. TMobile cell service was surprisingly slow given our proximity to Spokane. We did not have reservations beforehand and got the last space available on a Monday, Advise reservations. I rated the campground at four because of it’s expense and because the sites on the upper loop are a little tight.
TravelerThis is a gorgeous camping area. A Washington Discover Pass is required. 14 day max stay. But once you drive down to the lake/camp sites there is ZERO cell reception. I’m camping at the top of the trail which has a few spots for those with RV’s. The road that leads down to the lake/camping area is steep and winding. I would not suggest anything over 25 foot length try to go down because you may not get back up. If you’re pulling a car or trailer you’ll want to be mindful. But many trucks pulling aluminum boats drive down to the boat launch that goes to the upper lake.
There is a second site about 22 minutes away (coffee pot recreation site) that is more accessible friendly for larger rigs and setups and a boat launch to the lower lake.
TravelerWe stayed at campsite 7 and had a great experience. The site was flat and spacious—easily fit both of our 12ft Gazelle tents with room to spare, and parking two vehicles was no issue. Bathrooms were very clean, and the individual showers were free, which was a great bonus. No mosquito or tick problems at all during our stay. It’s a family-friendly spot with decent privacy (6/10), low noise, and access to water, swimming, and a nearby boat launch down hill from campground. T-Mobile service worked well, and the site had a good mix of sun and shade. We’ll definitely be back.
ScoutWe got in around 10:30pm with our campervan and while most places were taken up, we thought we got lucky with the one closest to the lake... Only to wake up to see a tent there in the morning 😂 Beautiful view of the lake!
TravelerReally nice except for the broken glass, there was quite a bit of it scattered around which was disappointing.
GuideWe have stayed here two times, with our little starlight Tent Trailers. Almost a week each time. The setting is beautiful. The lake is clean and full of fish!!
Bald eagles, Loons, turtles, even Moose & Bears ! The resort office has a small cafe and store. This resort has been around for many years and is a bit run-down. Some their old log cabins are looking like very old log cabins. Wonderful if you don't care about level floors. They also have a multi-room motel if you want that instead. Common Bathrooms that also show their age.
There are boat docks, with slips for rent. Paying the dock fee or camping covers the Indian reservation recreation fee. An Indian reservation fishing license is required here, but not a Washington State License. If you have a WA license, you still need the Reservation License.
