What to do
Water recreation access: Eagles Landing RV Resort offers direct access to water activities. "We loved this spot and will definitely be going back. Everyone was so nice and the bathrooms were beautiful and so clean," notes Cayla H.
Golf course proximity: Deer Park RV Resort connects directly to golf facilities. "It's right on the golf course. Seems to be a lot of long term campers. Put your trash out and they come by and pick it up in the morning. If you need propane, you set your bottle at the curb they will fill it and return it to your cradle," shares Ralph M.
City exploration: Kootenai County Fairgrounds RV Park serves as a convenient base for exploring Coeur d'Alene. "Really nice and clean campground perfectly situated to explore Coeur d'Alene and the area. The camphost was super friendly and always happy to help," reports Roger P.
What campers like
Tree coverage: Tamarack RV Park provides mature tree canopies. "A really pretty setting, though the spaces feel a little narrow. I'd definitely come back," writes yolunde S., while another camper notes it's a "Great Little Tree Covered RV park."
Beach areas: Blackwell Island RV Park offers water access points. "Beautiful location convenient to downtown and on the water. The sites are close to others which for us isn't a big deal but don't expect isolation," states Kurtis K. Another camper adds: "The beaches were very nice for both people and dogs."
Level site configuration: Most RV parks in the region provide well-maintained, level spaces. At Bergsparken RV Park, "All three sites are level pull through with plenty room for extra vehicle. Sites are well separated with views of Mt Spokane and gorgeous sunset views," according to Jerry A.
What you should know
Train noise considerations: Several campgrounds near major transportation routes experience train noise. At City of Sandpoint, City Beach RV Park, "location is awesome very convenient but being right next to the train tracks is a bummer," notes Matt J.
Hookup layout issues: Some sites have unconventional utility placement. At Liberty Lake RV Campground, 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."
Year-round availability: Several RV parks operate through winter months. Tamarack RV Park stays "Open year round" according to Nicholas M., though winter travelers should confirm site availability and prepare for snow conditions.
Tips for camping with families
Amusement park access: Silverwood RV Park provides direct theme park access. "5 minute walk to theme parks under the highway. Site 74 backed up to a fence. Had no neighbors. But was furthest from the parks," explains Jason S.
Recreation amenities: Many parks include amenities specifically for families. "The pool is nice with adult swim in early mornings and late evenings. They have mini golf, real golf, pool, sana, fitness fun, lounge area, kids playground, dog area, and more," reports Zanna H. about Deer Park RV Resort.
Public beach access: Waterfront locations offer swimming opportunities. At Blackwell Island RV Park, "Swimming beach, great floating. Showers and BR closed. Needs some TLC, picnic tables ready to break. Sites not very level," notes Jolene L.
Tips from RVers
Big rig accessibility: For large motorhomes, check specific access routes. At Kootenai County Fairgrounds RV Park, "If you are coming off of interstate 90, don't use exit 13. The round about is way to small to handle big rig or any camper. The best route is exit 12 big rig friendly," advises Rick Shannon P.
Propane delivery services: Some parks offer onsite propane refill. At Deer Park RV Resort, "propane delivery service so you can get your tanks filled without having to get out of your slippers," shares Zanna H.
Solar power opportunities: RVers interested in solar power should consider specific locations. Kootenai County Fairgrounds RV Park has "No shade, good for solar. Good cell and internet connection. Campground is designed well so sites have more space than other campgrounds," according to Stacey G.
