      North Spokane RV Campground

      Well maintained and manicured

      Very clean with all the trim :) space between units, a dog park and playground, and nearby to restaurants while being just far enough on the edge of town to feel as such

      River Walk RV Park

      Parking lot near river and bike trail

      It is hard to find many positives about this place. It has nothing to do with the people, but only about the "campground". It is a parking lot. No grass. Very tight. Lots of seasonal folks. There is a dog park. It Is right on the river. It is right on the bike trail. It is close to town. Beyond that. There is nothing that I deem attractive or desirable about this place. So for me personally, we passed. Please check out the photos and judge for yourself.

      Wolf Lodge Campground

      RV Park few miles from Couer D'Alene

      Standard RV park with full hookups, bathrooms, showers, basic store, and dog park.  Decent amount of highway noise

      Soaring Hawk RV Resort

      Great park

      Quiet, spacious, beautiful smell of pine trees. Wouldn’t want to drive in after dark though. Two large dog parks. Park is gravel and you may need to do a little leveling, but it isn’t bad at all. Had enough room to park my 44’ rig and my truck right next to it. Would definitely come here again.

      Peaceful Pines RV Park & Campground

      Week Stay

      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.

      Soaring Hawk RV Resort

      Great stat

      Great new campground right outside of Plummer. There's been some sort of entertainment each night we've been here, fire dancers Friday and Saturday, a 4th of july bbq, 2 bands and fireworks at midnight tonight. There's several different sections to stay in, a dog park, lodge and laundry area. I would definitely come again.

      Liberty Lake RV Campground

      Looks like a parking lot with RVs

      This is a newer RV park in Liberty Lake. They have only been open 2 years. Liberty Lake is between Spokane, WA and Coeur d’Alene ID. There are about 130 spaces or so, with concrete pads and paved streets. There is grass between sites, but they are much too close to be comfortable, and there is no shade! And, the rules!!! Lots more rules than most other camping areas.’ It also appears many of the residents are semi-permanent. They have free cable snd wifi, a dog park, playground, swimming pool, laundry, and dump station. The sites are 30/50 amp, most are pull through but the outer ring is back in. They also have propane. They are on the pricy side: an outside loop 50 ft. Site is $74/night. Good Sam gets you a 10% discount. It is easy access to I-90 both East and west.

      Northern Quest RV Resort

      Great NEW location

      This is a newer campground in Airway Heights very close to the Spokane Airport and near the Northern Quest Casino. The campground has a pool, gym, dog park, and has free shuttle service to casino and airport. Very nice bathrooms (just not enough) also the trees are small, but once the trees mature there will be nice shade areas. Lots to do in the area and shopping very close. End of the day I will be staying here again.

      Coeur d'Alene RV Resort

      Nice Public Bldg

      We stayed the night in January and had a late check-in. Paid $69 and had access to full hookups. If you are not there before 5 pm they will not share the code for the bathrooms, etc so beware! Neighbors are told not to give out the code so we had quite a time trying to get in! The public building has bathrooms, laundry, pool, small store and a nice lounge. Lots are quite close together but it is neatly laid out with a few dog parks.


    Guide to Newman Lake

    Pet-friendly campgrounds near Newman Lake offer various accommodations for travelers with dogs. The area sits at an elevation of approximately 2,130 feet in eastern Washington, experiencing hot, dry summers and cold winters with moderate snowfall. Most campgrounds remain open from May through mid-September when temperatures are most favorable for outdoor activities.

    What to do

    Hiking with dogs: Beauty Creek Campground provides access to nearby trails where dogs can join their owners. "There's a small horse corral and a dog kennel. Sign said 48hr limit," notes Jonathan H. about the nearby Cabela's overflow area that serves as a convenient staging area.

    Water activities: Camp Coeur D Alene offers water recreation options for dogs and owners. "There's a small creek that runs through the campgrounds. Not great for swimming (very shallow) but luckily there are many swimming spots locally that you can visit instead," explains Serena G. about regional options.

    Urban exploration: Take your dog to explore nearby towns and parks. "We really had a great time here. The other campers were so friendly. Easy access to wineries and hikes," shares Ted N. about using Spokane KOA as a base for regional exploration.

    What campers like

    Budget-friendly options: Dragoon Creek Campground provides economical pet-friendly camping. "Free 3 nights with a Discover Pass. Really clean pit toilets. Nice camp host. Beautiful nature, can't complain about a thing!" says Rowan R. about this affordable option.

    Swimming spots: Liberty Lake Regional Park features water access for pets and families. "It 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," notes Steve M. about the diverse activities available.

    Convenience: Short-term parking options accommodate travelers passing through with pets. "Great place to rest after a long drive. Check in at customer service stay up to 2 days," explains Dave B. about the pet-friendly parking at various locations near Newman Lake.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds in the region have limited operating seasons. "We opened May 1st, the first day they opened! The campground has beautiful treed sites with lots of amenities. They are redoing the pool, and the bathrooms are very clean," shares Julie M. about Camp Coeur D'Alene.

    Insect issues: Several campgrounds report seasonal wasp and bee problems. "This campground has way, way too many bees. They are a nuisance can't relax without having to worry about a bee flying in your face," warns Aaron B. about certain locations during late summer.

    Site selection: Some campgrounds offer more private sites than others. "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," advises Lisa K. about selecting optimal camping spots.

    Tips for camping with families

    Noise considerations: Spokane KOA Journey warns about railway noise affecting light sleepers and sensitive pets. "The tent sites had a nice triangular metal and wood canopy for shelter from rain and also for shade. It is right next to an active railroad, so bring earplugs if you don't want to be woken up by trains several times," advises Kristen M.

    Safety features: Some locations offer better containment for pets and children. "The campground features spotless restrooms and showers that are well-stocked and accessible," note several reviewers about maintained facilities that enhance family camping experiences.

    Activity options: Choose campgrounds with diverse recreation. "We took the paddle boat our for a sunset cruise and it was a very memorable experience! Overall, felt safe and had a great time," shares Angela F. about family-friendly options at some locations.

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Blackwell Island RV Park accommodates various rig sizes with waterfront options. "Nicely located and well maintained large rv park on Lake Coeur d'Alene. This park offers both lake front and non-lakefront spaces with full hookups," reports Angela S. about the layout options.

    Level sites: RVers recommend checking site conditions before booking. "We loved how large the sites and overall area was, so we could back our rig in easily (40ft long x 13.5ft tall.) There were a lot of open sites, even during the holiday weekend," shares Kaitlin K. about favorable site dimensions.

    Amenities to expect: Most RV parks offer standard hookups with varying additional features. "Sites are concrete pads with a picnic table also on concrete. While sites are close, they are spaced well enough that you don't have to worry with hitting your neighbor with your awning or having to play Tetris with your slides," explains Brown Sign Junkies about typical site layouts in the region.
