"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."

$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."
"All of the spots had big pads that were very easy to maneuver around. Very dog friendly park with a fenced off off lease dog park that was easy to access. The swimming pool was fantastic as well."
"We were able to work with employees with parking extended because our rv needed work done so we could really drive it. They were understanding and sweet. Great spot."
"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."
$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."
ScoutFound this last minute after deciding to drive further than planned. Quite a few spots available. It is quite open with no tree so not so great for windy days.
GuideThe Gilmore campground was clean and well-managed and we found the camp hosts super friendly and helpful. The campground has vault toilets and a few flush toilets as well as private showers with hot water. Campsites were well spaced from one another. The campground has a big green for frisbee, horseshoes, etc.
Farragut State Park has abundant hiking, water activities and interesting interpretive exhibits. And Lake Pend Oreille is simply breathtaking.
We had limited Verizon connectivity — 2 bars at most.
The village of Bayview, a few minutes’ drive or vigorous bike ride away, has a well-stocked little mercantile that carries all the necessities.
As out-of-staters, we didn’t mind paying twice the in-state rate for our site. Our state income taxes support our own state’s parks — not Idaho’s.
ScoutClean campground our site worked great for our Sprinter van. Site is crowded for larger pull through but it appeared to work for the campers. Site had outdoor kitchens and several showers. Would stay again if in area. If you purchase wood they deliver to your site
TravelerFirst time taking the godson camping and this was the perfect spot. The godson's mom told me she went to this area when she was young and then I saw it here on The Dyrt. At first I entered the coordinates listed on the page and it took me to the opposite entrance to Colville National Forest - there are no places to camp on that side due to the steep drop. Make sure you follow the written directions - just follow Sand Canyon all the way out and it will take you to the proper entrance to Colville National Forest. There are a few different pull-offs to camp sites. The one we stayed at was a bit further down the rock road. It is a loop off the main road and there are several camp sites along the creek. There is also a vault toilet - very clean - in this area. The godson loved it - he even played in the freezing cold water. I enjoyed the peace and quiet!
GuideWe enjoyed our stay here. We experience wild turkeys, a variety of birds, the sound of coyotes not far, field squirrels and snakes. There is trash dumpster and 1 porta potty that when we were here was kinda gross. Use your own if you have one. Quite a few spots you can pull into. Road is decent the 02 Outback handled them loaded. The spaces are all different some more level and others.
TravelerIn a suburb and RR tracks. Lots of traffic.
TravelerWe were able to work with employees with parking extended because our rv needed work done so we could really drive it. They were understanding and sweet. Great spot. Walk away from Taco Bell, Starbucks, Walmart and more!
RangerWould try this again maybe when it’s nicer weather. It was too hot for us to hang around. Not many spots with shade. The one that we did find had a lot of garbage around it. There were some dumpsters by the trail heads and bathrooms.
GuideThis is a RV resort, they have everything you may need. Full hookups, big and hot showers, a store, laundry. We had been boon docking for a little over a week so it was nice to have a bit of luxury for a couple nights. The best part, right on the water. We took our paddle boards out and it was great!
