Liberty Lake Regional Park provides cabin rentals about 18 miles northeast of Rockford, Washington. Most cabins in this area sit at elevations between 2,100 and 2,400 feet, resulting in warm summer days and cool nights. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing from November through February, affecting cabin availability at several locations.
What to do
Hiking trails near cabins: Riverside State Park has multiple trails connecting directly to cabin areas. "This is a larger campground great for RV, trailers and tents. The sites are enclosed in a circle, making a nice walk or bike ride. The campground has partial hook ups and is very camper friendly otherwise," notes one visitor to Bowl and Pitcher Campground.
Water activities: Liberty Lake offers swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating options within walking distance of cabin accommodations. A visitor to Camp Coeur D Alene shared, "The camp is close to the freeway and on the edge of the lake. The camp offers tent camping, full service RV camping, and cabins for rent. There are hiking trails adjacent, a well stocked camp store and laundry facilities."
Wildlife viewing: Most cabin locations provide opportunities to observe deer, various bird species, and occasionally moose. "We were there over July 4th weekend and they had a fireworks display on the beach. There were deer in the campground every day, we saw moose, owls, pilated woodpecker, and hawks," reports a visitor to Liberty Lake.
What campers like
Lake access: Many cabins provide relatively easy access to water recreation. According to one camper at Liberty Lake Regional Park, "It was a very great experience camping here the spots are very spacious and fairly quiet and clean. I enjoyed staying here will definitely be coming back to stay again."
Distance from urban areas: Most cabins maintain a wilderness feel while remaining accessible from Spokane. "Only 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," notes a Liberty Lake visitor.
Outdoor cooking options: Many cabins come with outdoor grills and picnic areas. A visitor to Hawleys Landing Campground shared, "Beautiful campgrounds! We biked on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed the beach at Rocky Point. We definitely will camp here again!!"
What you should know
Off-season closures: Several cabin locations operate only seasonally. Wolf Lodge Campground cabins are available from mid-May to early October, while locations like Northern Quest RV Resort maintain year-round operations.
Varying levels of amenities: Cabin features differ significantly between locations. A visitor to Spokane KOA Journey noted, "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."
Reservation requirements: Most cabin locations require advance booking, especially during summer months. "We pulled in to the public park and the attendant told us to check with the camp host even tho the sign said full. We had our choice of two tent sites for our conversion van. We selected a shaded spot. They had ice for sale and take credit cards," shared a Liberty Lake camper.
Tips for camping with families
Accessibility considerations: Some cabin areas have steep terrain or longer walks to amenities. One visitor to Liberty Lake Regional Park commented, "This is a nice site that is known for its hiking trail. It is also close to play structure and small beach. It has paved/gravel roads. The road in was kinda sketchy if you are pulling a large RV."
Noise levels: Some cabin locations experience more noise than others. A camper at Wolf Lodge Campground shared, "Lots of free or low priced activities for the kids. We loved kayaking down the creek at the campground and saw wildlife. Only downer is it's right on the freeway. We just ran our AC/fan at night and it blocked out the noise."
Recreation options: Many cabin locations offer additional activities for children. "The campground is close to the water and lots of picnic areas. The RV spots are pretty close, but is surrounded by nature and trails," noted one visitor to Liberty Lake.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing: RV cabins at many locations have limited spacing between units. A visitor to Tamarack RV Park noted, "Nice little RV park. Only complaint is that the sites are close together. The asphalt pads themselves are nice sized and ours is pretty level. Tons of mature trees providing shade."
Seasonal considerations: Summer months generally offer the most favorable conditions for cabin camping in this region. A camper at Spokane KOA Journey mentioned, "This KOA was a convenient stopover for us during our travels on I-90. The staff were nice and the site was level. The bathrooms were typical (clean but well used)."
