Overnighted here on a roadtrip. Felt safe and it was quiet, Google Maps directions worked and I picked a spot. I wish more folks would pack out their trash! Tp included

GuideHaag Cove Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area
I was there in October. It's an okay spot on Roosevelt Lake, but the trash was terrible. On one side, it's surrounded by locals, and they can do whatever they want on their property. They were shooting guns, so it was not very pleasant.

Few miles off the interstate flat spots
Very flat spot several miles off ethe interstate. Small 2 lane road next to it. Lots of sites, nothing marked just back in and hang out. No water and electricity, but great for FREE! Convience store down the road with gas and a few things.

Tamarack RV Park And Vacation Cabins
Right in the middle of civilization, and packed in, but very nice. Nice trees, nice facilities, well maintained. Families are here, well behaved. Booked online. The owner noticed us and introduced himself. Will use again when I want the amenities.

Luxury Turf, Spotless Grounds, and Ultimate Convenience in Airway Heights,
Reviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
If you are traveling through the Inland Northwest along the Interstate 90 or US-2 corridors on your way to or from Glacier National Park, Northern Quest RV Resort in Airway Heights (just west of Spokane) is a premier place to pull in. We stopped here along our route, and it immediately stood out as one of the cleanest, most manicured RV resorts we’ve stayed at.
Site Quality and Resort Atmosphere
The standard of maintenance across this entire property is top-tier:
- Lush Turf at Every Site: One of the first things you notice is the beautiful, vibrant green turf surrounding every single campsite. It makes stepping out of your RV feel clean and comfortable, keeping dirt and dust out of your rig.
- Immaculate Grounds: The roads, pads, and common areas are thoroughly maintained. The layouts offer plenty of breathing room, making it easy to settle in without feeling crammed against your neighbors.
- Peace and Quiet: Despite being part of a full-scale resort and casino property, the RV park itself is remarkably quiet, calm, and secure at night.
Resort Perks and Casino Shuttle
You get all the conveniences of a luxury resort without having to unhook your tow vehicle to go explore:
- Free Casino Shuttle: The park offers a complimentary shuttle service that picks you up right in the RV resort and drops you off at Northern Quest Resort& Casino for dining, entertainment, or gaming, then brings you right back to your rig.
- Effortless Resupply & Fuel: Fueling a big rig is completely stress-free here. There is a large fuel station situated right next door, plus a convenient Maverik gas station just about a block away. Having multiple high-clearance fueling options right off the property makes morning departures quick and painless.
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Northern Quest RV Resort strikes the perfect balance between high-end RV resort luxury and effortless road-trip practicality. Between the pristine green grass pads, spotless grounds, ultra-convenient fueling, and complimentary casino shuttle, it takes all the friction out of a travel day. It is an outstanding stopover for big rigs and road-trippers alike, and our crew would gladly stay here again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!
Sehvanna S.GuideNorth Spokane RV Campground
Clean and convenient
I've been staying here for about a week. It's very clean and well kept. The neighbors all seem to keep to themselves. Not a lot of shade but there are trees around the outside of the park. Getting in and out of the camping spots is very easy. We have full hook ups and WiFi is included along with water but you do get charged for electricity. Long term camping requires a background check but it's the best rate for such amenities. (My winter rate is 636 for 28 days). The only complaint I have is the noise. There is a lot of road noise throughout the day and a lot of the night. This isn't really the park's fault though, Spokane is noisy.

A bit of road noise
Nice enough and well maintained park. Probably 1/3 - 1/2 of park appear to be full time residents. Sites are close with gravel for RV and a cement pad with a picnic table at each one. Combination of pull thru's and back-ins. Good power and water pressure, sewer hookups can be a bit challenging depending upon the tree roots and the adapters you have. Large shower and laundry facility. Pool is inside with a spa tub - neither are huge. Friendly staff and conveniently located just off of I-90. Good Wi-Fi and cell service, but no cable TV.
Guide to Ford
Lake Spokane Campground welcomes pets across its spacious sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and access to hiking trails along the Spokane River. Riverside State Park's Bowl and Pitcher Campground, open year-round, also accommodates pets in tent sites, RV spots, and select cabins. Both campgrounds require pets to remain leashed at all times, with a standard 6-foot leash requirement for dogs. Campers consistently note the clean, well-maintained grounds provide plenty of space for walking dogs, with paved pathways through wooded areas offering shade during summer months. Pet waste stations are located throughout these campgrounds, and owners are expected to clean up after their animals. The campgrounds have no breed restrictions but limit pets to two per site at Lake Spokane and three at Riverside State Park.
Shoreline trails at Lake Spokane offer excellent dog walking opportunities with water access points where pets can cool off during summer camping trips. Nine Mile Recreation Area provides additional pet-friendly trails with lake views and swimming areas, though pets must be kept out of designated human swimming zones. Veterinary services are available in Spokane, approximately 45 minutes from Ford, making advance planning important for emergencies. Dragoon Creek Campground's free sites offer a budget-friendly option for pet owners, with vault toilets and picnic tables, though no drinking water is available. Northern Quest RV Resort features full hookups and dedicated pet exercise areas with waste stations. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, requiring special attention to pet hydration and heat safety when camping between June and August.
