"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."
$50 - $300 / night
"Nice little place in the Spokane Valley close to shopping Idaho boarder. Has small outdoor pool bike rentals. Good bathroom and showers."
"Large KOA conveniently located near I-90. Very clean bathrooms/showers. Pool, playground, community fire pit, and multiple dog areas."
"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."
$25 / night

"The prior review about it being a couple miles from I-90 is probably for the county park at the actual lake."

$20 - $40 / night
"This area accesses many miles of hiking/biking/horseback trails along the scenic Spokane River, but the campground itself is reserved for equestrians."
"There are pull through for bigger rigs, but we stayed with our 19’ Class B on the regular parking next to the RV area. There were a couple additional vans doing the same."
"There’s even a horse pen and a dog pen for your furry friends that need to be outside!"
ScoutWebsite miss represents the true character of this campground which has fallen into disrepair. Appears to be minimally maintained and there doesn’t appear to be any upgrades to sites. The concrete strips are are no longer level, one of the main bathroom/ shower “lodges” out of order, offering porta-potty or walk to other end of grounds. We were not notified of this by check in staff. $60/ night for full hook up simple back in site at this facility is high compared to other campgrounds offering same amenities in much better condition.
LegendOnly reason I am not giving this five stars that's because it runs between 35 to 75 a night to stay there ranging from camping to full RV hookup. However, it is very close to Spokane and has beautiful hiking trails, a beach where you can swim and kayak and canoe and fish, birds and wildlife around singing beautifully day and night. More of a family oriented Campground but great for a couple of nights.
GuideWe really had a great time here. The other campers were so friendly. Easy access to wineries and hikes. Clean facilities and sites. Definitely a place to stop.
ScoutThis 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. Not too far off the main highways in comparison to some of the other lakes int he area.
GuideGreat free camping near Spokane and supplies.
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.
TravelerI spent 1 night here on my way to Coeur d’Alene. I might spend a couple more! Great elevated views of Rose Lake through the trees at the boat ramp. Several fishermen loading up after a day on the lake. A little noisy, but not distracting.
There is a vault toilet with its own parking space. I van camped there. Above me were 2 parking lots where 2-3 other campers were. Plenty of room to spread out and have decent privacy.
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.
