What you should know

Variable pet policies: Pet restrictions vary significantly between parks. One camper reported at Peaceful Pines: "I've never been so harassed before by a campground for having a pet. Definitely not pet friendly. There is literally one tree they make you stay at and you can't walk the campground with your dog."
Noise considerations: Trailer Inns RV Park and other facilities near highways experience traffic noise. At Liberty Lake, "You are maybe half mile from I-90 and road noise can be heard all hours."
Varying site spacing: Campground density differs between facilities. At Northern Quest, "The sites have a good amount of space between them," while other parks offer less separation.
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Some parks offer play areas for children. Liberty Lake RV Campground features "a playground, basketball court, dog park, clubhouse, pool and bathhouse. All are nice."
Motocross entertainment: For families who enjoy motorsports, Airway X provides built-in entertainment. "Our family of 4 is on a road trip from Seattle to Glacier NP via US-2. We needed a place to park our RV for the night. The X Motocross facility was very accommodating and friendly. They advised us that they were running races that night so it may not be quiet, but we didn't mind. The kids were entertained watching the motocross races."
Convenience factors: Some campgrounds offer easy access to services. "Our family and I recently stayed at Liberty Lake RV Campground... The sites were nice and large, with paved pads and all pull-through... The staff was great, the showers were good, and the laundry room was nice."

Casino access: RVers staying at Northern Quest RV Resort can access the nearby casino via shuttle. "They have a free shuttle to the casino that runs until Midnight. We went to the casino for supper. While the restaurant was smoke free the main casino was not."
