    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Spokane's camping areas range from state park campgrounds to private RV resorts, with most sites located within 20 miles of the city center. Riverside State Park offers multiple camping options including the popular Bowl and Pitcher Campground along the Spokane River, while Liberty Lake Regional Park provides both tent and cabin accommodations east of the city. Northern Quest RV Resort and Spokane KOA Journey feature more developed facilities for RVers seeking full hookups. Several campgrounds in the area support mixed camping styles, with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals available at the same location.

    Most developed campgrounds in the Spokane region operate seasonally, with peak availability from May through September. Liberty Lake Regional Park typically opens from mid-May to mid-September, while Nine Mile Recreation Area at Riverside State Park maintains a similar seasonal schedule. Several campgrounds like Spokane KOA and Trailer Inns RV Park remain open year-round for winter camping needs. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends, particularly for waterfront or hookup sites. Riverside State Park sites tend to fill quickly due to their proximity to the city and riverside location. A visitor noted: "If you want to camp but still be close to all the city amenities then this is the spot for you. Beautiful location by the river with miles of biking and walking trails."

    Campers frequently mention the balance of natural settings and urban convenience as a defining characteristic of Spokane area campgrounds. Riverside State Park receives praise for its extensive trail network and river access, though some reviewers note the campsite proximity can feel crowded during peak season. "The campground is in great shape, and neighbors were super respectful. Bathrooms were in amazing condition and staff was so friendly," reported one camper about Bowl and Pitcher Campground. Many campers appreciate the clean facilities and well-maintained shower buildings found at the larger campgrounds. Sites with more privacy are limited but available, with Dragoon Creek Campground offering a more rustic experience. For equestrians, Riverside State Park's dedicated Equestrian Campground provides specialized facilities with direct access to riding trails along the Spokane River.

      Trailer Inns RV Park

      Port in a storm for us.

      5/5 Stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I cannot thank the team at Trailer Inns enough for their incredible hospitality. I was mandatorily evacuated from Bowl and Pitcher State Park on the second day of a five-night reservation due to nearby wildfires. At 3:30 PM, they were the first place I called, and they immediately told me to "come on in, they had a spot. "They originally booked me for two nights with the option for two more if I couldn't return to the state park. When I couldn't go back, they extended my stay for the additional two nights with absolutely no questions asked. I have stayed at urban RV parks previously and understand what they are, so I have zero negative feedback. While the spaces are tight and there are a lot of permanent residents, everyone was incredibly friendly and quiet. I stayed on the side facing the reasonably quiet street next to I-90, so the interstate noise was minimal even at its worst. My site featured a brand-new, level concrete pad with full hookups, decent free internet, and convenient access to the clean laundry and bathroom facilities.

      Jump Off Joe Lake Resort and RV Park

      Cute and quite little place!

      We really liked this little campground! The beach was nice and the lake is perfect for swimming or paddle boarding/kayaking. The campsites are pretty close together but they have full hookups. You spend most of the day on the lake anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. We loved that it was close to home and an easy drive. We don’t have kids but it was a very kid friendly place. We have dogs and they loved the paddle board ride around the lake. We will definitely come back next summer!

      No thanks

      Sites are on top of each other! Feels like you’re packed in like sardines. Garbage was overflowing. Definitely would not recommend

      Riley Creek Campground

      River access

      This site was cool because we were away from the crowded other end of the campground. Great spot for a camper van or small RV setup.

      one of the more boring stops I've made. Easy access, clean pit toilet, no shade.

      North Fork Chewelah Creek

      Large rig approved - Private creek access

      I had a great time here with my huskies and my cat. I updated the location here on The Dyrt app. The exact address is 3399 Sand Canyon Rd, Chewelah, WA. There are at least 10 dispersed fire rings. Many of the sites have direct access to the creek. There are multiple trails that go up and down both sides of the creek and many logs that have fallen over it so you can walk across to the other side. The entire creek is fully shaded by trees and doesn’t get much sun. It only gets to about knee-deep in some parts - it’s July right now. People use this area for snow activities in the winter. There are many large areas with hard packed dirt that are relatively level and good for big rigs. There is one pit toilet bathroom that I can see and a few picnic tables. This is an active logging road right now so trucks go by every hour or so. There is definitely wildlife out here. Be cautious for bears and other large predators. I have seen wild turkeys, squirrels, tons of different birds, butterflies, and something large ran behind our campsite last night. There is plenty of shade and also plenty of open areas for setting up solar panels with all day sun. There is no cell service up here, but Starlink works great. The creek is beautiful and clear and cold. So refreshing and if you really needed to drink it, you probably could. I have not seen any hiking trails per se, however, you could walk up and down the logging roads and explore the forest line pretty easily in many parts. If you go up the logging road to the right, there is an old mine that you can access. There seems to be little pathways spread out randomly through the forest as you continue down the road. This is the perfect spot for boondocking, unless you’re worried about cell service. I’ve been able to leave my dogs off leash and they are so happy to run free through the creek and around the fields and through the forest. This place really does have so much to offer. We’re here by ourselves right now, so we have the luxury of privacy and perfect quietness to enjoy the sound of the creek and the bugs and the birds.
