Best Glamping near Ione, WA

Sullivan Lake Campground and Beaver Lodge Resort house upscale glamping accommodations near Ione, surrounded by the scenic Colville National Forest and Pend Oreille River. The glamping options include fully-furnished canvas tents, safari-style accommodations, and premium cabins with comfortable beds, electricity, and private picnic areas. "We love it! Beautiful area, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. The cabins are rustic but clean," noted one visitor about Beaver Lodge. Edgewater Campground offers more glamping-oriented sites with bear boxes, fire rings, and spacious areas that accommodate larger groups. Each location provides varying levels of amenities from basic comfort upgrades to full electric hookups, showers, and on-site markets depending on the property.

The pristine waters of Sullivan Lake and the Pend Oreille River provide exceptional water recreation opportunities directly from these glamping sites, with swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating available. A network of hiking trails surrounds the properties, including the lakeside trail at South Skookum Lake that circles the water in approximately 45 minutes. According to a camper, "The lake was great for a swim and to play fetch with our dog. The place was nearly empty when we arrived so we got to pick what to our knowledge was the only site with a slight view of the lake." Most glamping accommodations remain open from late May through early September, with some properties like Beaver Lodge Resort operating year-round. Visitors should note that cell service varies significantly between locations, with better connectivity near the campground entrances.

Cute RV park
Cute little RV park off the highway. Very quite with a small lake. Families can enjoy fishing, swimming, yard games, fire pit, and very dog friendly with a fenced dog park. We are tent campers and had a nice spot on lake. only a few tent sites. Super clean bathrooms with hot shower.

It's very secluded and beautiful, the people here were all polite. Lots of nature to explore but pack in what you pack out, no running water but that's perfect. It's REAL camping. had a very nice timeee

Blue Lake RV Resort
Not enough warning to cancel reservations with air quality
I would have given it 4 stars about 5 years ago when we first stayed as it seemed a lot friendlier staff willing to please their customers but I'm not sure if it was sold since then but I had to give it only 2 stars this time because the negatives outweighed the positives. Pros: Friendly staff that helps you park if you need it. Location is fairly close to the town of Bonners Ferry and Sandpoint so you are never too far from civilization. Although I've never used it, they do have wine in the evenings for their guests...not sure if they charge or not. They also sell wood and when we were there 5 years ago, they delivered it to our site. Also, the site we stayed in that time was not full hook ups and the staff still helped us dump without having to move our rig. Cons: Everything everyone says about the pot holes, dirt road, train noise and turn off from the 95 is spot on. The one thing I didn't hear anyone mention is the noise from the 95 of cars that can be as loud as the constant train passing in the middle of the night. So, quiet and serene is not a good description. The"lake" although which can be fun for small kids fishing and maybe paddle boating, is more of a large pond that is dark and gloomy like and so when you first see it, you might be disappointed at it being called a lake. Although friendly, I didn't find it as hospitable as it used to be when we were first there five years ago and you get the distinct feeling that they are barely surviving as they will not do anything extra to refund or make things whole if you experience is not up to par. Here is why: We were charged half of the amount to reserve the spot we wanted and in order to keep a particular spot you pick, you have to pay a little extra to reserve it or you can still risk having them move you to a different spot if they want to. That's a first. It's true they can't control the weather and I don't really blame them for that, but good vacation industries will go out of their way to keep their customers happy when things are not up to par. We paid for six days and with the stifling heat, along with the fires that were in the area, we were smoked out and weren't told that campfires were restricted per an ordinance they were given before we made the trip there. The entire camping experience was ruined because the only choice we had to not to feel choked out was to stay indoors in the RV. We only stayed one night since this was miserable and decided to leave the next day. When we got home we received an email requesting our input of our stay and we told them a partial refund would have been nice since accommodations were not up to standards. Instead, we were told that in order for them to stay in business and because they have few drop ins, they have to take 50% deposits up front. This seems fair but we paid for the entire week, so it seems to me that in good faith and good customer service, 50% or even some refund at all would have kept us coming back despite the cons. They also claimed that charging 50% is better than some places that want all the money upfront when you book. We have been RVing for years in this area and there are much better places to go that do not do this I'm not really sure why they asked us for our input in the first place. Anyway, as a result we won't be back.

Lionhead Campground — Priest Lake State Park
Fabulous Family Fun
There are 3 campgrounds. One is a group camp that sells out quick. Reservations are 9 months in advance and it is a phone call of luck that will get you this prime area. The group camp has its own private dock and beach. The cabin has multiple bunk beds and a kitchen with fridge and range/oven. Also a microwave. 2 showers and 2 restrooms. There are RV slots available here. We love the privacy and ability to not worry about any unlocked vehicles or items left in the beach The other two sites are Lionhead and Indian Creek. Indian Creek as a store and laundry facilities. They also have a few cabins to rent. Showers and rv slots available. Lionhead is further up the road (just north of the group camp) and is a little smaller.

Sherman Overlook Campground
Great one night plus spot in NE corner Washington state.
Cool sleeping at this elevation when hot weather persists in lower lands. We pull a 32’ Outdoors RV trailer behind a full size 6’ bed and quad cab Dodge truck. We would have fit in a few of spots and there was 8 total with tighter loop turn around at end. Water was off due to Covid and was no trash dumpster but did have outhouses. Nice trail to go hiking out back of campground and simple walking wheelchair loop at Overlook parking lot. Was some road noise when the few cars around here passed us since CG is beside road at summit of Pass but was still nice private spaces with table, fire ring and near level parking pads.

Cloverleaf Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area
Beautifully rugged camping
Spots are clean with fire pit and tables. Dirt trails on the water which is a beautiful little cove on lake Roosevelt. Bald eagles, and lots of bugs. Most often in the summer you can hear the big pow wows going on across the river at night. See a universe of stars and enjoy feeling close to nature in this uncomnercialized quaint small campground. Which btw, is ALWAYS full when I've gone there. The only downfall is that the local teens like to have big ragers there and when that happens its only USUALLY for one night then they leave but they get loud and obnoxious. I've experienced that happening 7 out of 10 times I've camped there. Good spot to fish, kayak, float a sun island, rock hound, bird watch, critter watch, rest, relax, and get, away from people.

Edgewater Campground
Gorgeous campground on the Pend Oreille River
This is one of the better looking campgrounds in the area. It sits right on the Pend Oreille River in the Colville National Forest, so fishing is good as well as the great views. The campground was nicely maintained and the host was very pleasurable to chat with. The campground offers drinking water, day use area, boat launch, trash removal, and vault toilets. Firewood is also sold by the host.

The sites are spacious and well separated. Each includes a fire pit, picnic table and tent pad. The website claims that all sites are accessible for any RV but I noticed a couple that might be difficult for large RV's.

With the beauty and maintenance comes a price and that is:

$20/single site

$40/double site

$10/Extra vehicle

$5/Day Use

All in all this place is great but a little pricey for me. I would still highly recommend it to others though as it is a beautiful place to stay, especially iof you have a boat.
