SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Camping near Spokane Valley, Washington ranges from developed campgrounds with full hookups to primitive sites in the surrounding public lands. The Spokane KOA Journey offers year-round camping with tent sites, RV spots, and cabin accommodations within city limits. Just east of Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake Regional Park provides tent, RV, cabin, and glamping sites with water and electric hookups from May through September. Northern Quest RV Resort and Trailer Inns RV Park round out the commercial options, while Riverside State Park offers public land camping with both standard and equestrian-specific campgrounds northwest of the city.
Most campgrounds in the area require reservations, particularly during the busy summer months from May through September. Paved roads provide good access to established campgrounds, though some sites have limited space between neighbors. "Train noise can be an issue at some locations, particularly at the Spokane KOA where trains run nearby and can be quite loud at night," according to one visitor. Most developed campgrounds feature standard amenities like drinking water, electric hookups, and toilets, while some also offer shower facilities, dump stations, and laundry services. Winter camping options are more limited, with only a few facilities like Spokane KOA and Riverside State Park remaining open year-round.
Camping conditions vary significantly across the Spokane Valley area. Campers at Liberty Lake Regional Park appreciate access to hiking trails and water recreation, while those seeking urban convenience favor the KOA or Trailer Inns. A reviewer noted that "Overall it was a good overnight stop as most KOA's are, however, be aware that there is a train that runs by very close to the camping spots on the eastern side." Several campgrounds like Northern Quest RV Resort receive high ratings (4.875/5) for their amenities and location. For those requiring larger spaces, reviewers caution that some parks have narrow sites that can be challenging for bigger rigs. Free camping options are limited but include Dragoon Creek Campground north of the city, which offers primitive sites with pit toilets but no hookups.

CDA River RV, Riverfront Campground
Very enjoyable
We wanted to dry camp beside the river and fortunately for us we got a great spot for 2 nights. Far from everyone else. As the campground is situated along the famous Coeur d’ Alene bicycle path it gave us the opportunity to explore. Great experience. Lovely new and clean bathhouse with warm water. The host (Betsy) was very pleasant and welcoming. Enjoyed getting some exercise walking around the campground.

ScoutBald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
A gem up high on Mt. Spokane
If you'd like a lovely campground standing 3000 ft above the northeast Columbia basin, this would be hard to beat. It's simply beautiful. A couple hundred feet you can peer twenty miles to the east (probably more). The campground is small (8 sites) and compact (you'll have neighbors near), but that's a good design choice --- the little plateau at Bald Knob simply isn't big enough for more.
If you're up for a stroll, then climb (or drive!) to the top of Mt. Spokane. On a clear day you can see three states (WA/ID/MT) and two countries (USA/Canada). If you get to the campground and then *don't* take a side trip to the top of Mt. Spokane, you will need to have your head examined. [N.B. If you're driving a motorhome, do *not* drive to the summit past the campground: the narrow one-lane (paved) road is just not going to let you go up while other cars are coming down.]
If you go there at the right time of year, you can stroll a couple hundred feet and harvest huckleberries. Actual huckleberries. I had waffles with fresh huckleberries, so eat your heart out.
This is one of the pricier campgrounds ($39/night in 2026), but there's potable water and restrooms with flush toilets and even hot water(!). And of course, there are bear-proof food lockers and garbage bins for each site.

Nice place, nothing fancy
This was a nice place the owner was very friendly. I was able to stay hooked up as I was just staying the night. Others had to unhook and park their trucks away from the campsite. There is a train across the lake that runs all hours of the day and night.
Very expensive for a full hook. $85 for one night. All grass sites can't put out a rug or pad outside your door.

Bald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
slightly pricey, TOTALLY WORTH IT! attention senior citizens!
If you'd like an alpine campground with easy access, unbelievable views, and excellent facilities, this is it.
in the TLDR department,
(*) paved road to within the last few hundred feet of your campsite.
(*) potable water
(*) restrooms with flush toilets and hot water (!)
(*) 8 campsites --- kind of cramped, but nice.
(*) 20 minutes drive to summit of Mt. Spokane with "unbelievably spectacular view"
(*) if you're there in mid- late- July, huckleberries are right there. I had them on waffles this morning.
Depending upon where you start, this campsite is about 45 minutes from Spokane WA. You'll have to have some patience with the last 15 miles or so of the (paved) road, as it is pretty curvaceous.
This campsite is at about 5100 ft on a shoulder of Mt. Spokane, whose summit is 5800 ft. Let's just say, if you go to the trouble to get to this campground, and *don't* take a side trip to the summit, there's not much I can do for you. If you're not familiar with the geography in this region, Mt. Spokane stands about 3800 ft above the valley floors in the Spokane Valley and adjacent valley floors. In other words, you'll have a stunning views on clear days. From the summit of Mt. Spokane, you can see two nations and three states.
The campground itself is small: 8 sites --- so prefer to reserve online.
At each site:
(*) a bear-proof garbage bin
(*) a bear-proof food bin
(*) a potable water source (shared)
(*) a surprisingly nice, clean restroom with (omg) flush toilets and (omg) hot water.
(*) they don't have showers, but gurl: you know what you can achieve with a sink and hot water and some wash cloths.
(*) it's a small thing, but there is some cell-phone coverage there. This means that if you're a smart phone and computer nerd, you can watch Netflix at night.
The thing is, as stupendous as this site is, it's a "one night" site.
However, I will be back next summer, because Bald Knob is just so amazing.
Guide to Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley camping options range from full-service RV resorts to basic tent sites across eastern Washington and nearby Idaho. Located at 1,900 feet elevation in the Spokane River valley, the area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often reaching 90°F from July through August. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that can drop below freezing, with snowfall common between November and February.
What to do
Hiking trails: Liberty Lake Regional Park offers several miles of forested trails with varying difficulty levels. "There is a nice camp site close to the water and lots of picnic areas. The RV spots are pretty close, but is surrounded by nature and trails," notes Theresa G. The park features a waterfall hike popular with day visitors.
Water activities: Bowl and Pitcher Campground in Riverside State Park provides scenic river access. "Great place to explore. Lots of hiking trails. Nice beach area for swimming," mentions Kris S. The Spokane River offers fishing opportunities with smallmouth bass and rainbow trout being common catches.
Winter recreation: Northern Quest RV Resort makes a convenient base camp for winter activities. While most area campgrounds close during colder months, the few that remain open provide access to nearby Mt. Spokane for skiing and snowshoeing. "We really had a great time here. Easy access to wineries and hikes. Clean facilities and sites," shares Ted N.
What campers like
Proximity to urban conveniences: Many campers appreciate the balance of nature and nearby services. At Trailer Inns RV Park, one healthcare worker noted, "I'm staying here for an assignment at Sacred Heart. Super close to the hospital and the owners are very friendly and helpful."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Despite being near urban areas, many campers report regular wildlife sightings. Bergsparken RV Park visitors mentioned, "Be ready for encounters with deer, rabbits, wild turkey, quail, and even the occasional elk and moose. Really love this place!"
Cleanliness of facilities: Dragoon Creek Campground receives praise for maintenance. "The bathrooms are incredibly clean, the campsites we considered were all clean as well. Even though it straddles the creek, creek access isn't easy," according to Henry H. Many campgrounds maintain similar standards with regular cleaning.
What you should know
Train noise affects some locations: Railroad tracks run near several campgrounds in the area. At Spokane KOA Journey, Meghan B. warns, "This KOA is surrounded by residences and businesses, and also right next to very active train tracks. The trains have been quite frequent day and night."
Seasonal availability varies widely: Most campgrounds operate from May through September. Liberty Lake Regional Park operates seasonally, while others remain open year-round with reduced services in winter.
Free camping options are limited: Dragoon Creek Campground offers free camping with a Discover Pass. "Free 3 nights with a Discover Pass. Really clean pit toilets. Nice camp host. Beautiful nature, can't complain about a thing!" reports Rowan R.
Reservation requirements: During peak season (June-August), reservations are essential at most established campgrounds. Some sites can be reserved up to nine months in advance.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated facilities: Several campgrounds offer playgrounds and family-friendly amenities. Northern Quest RV Resort includes "Wi-Fi and Pool. Spacious lots with grass and asphalt pads. Easy to get around, quick access to a gas station and Wal-Mart is super close," according to Wes W.
Consider noise levels: When camping with children, some locations provide quieter settings. Bergsparken RV Park offers "Wonderfully quiet. The night breeze is very relaxing with the sound of the wind in the tall trees," says Bill B.
Swimming options: Liberty Lake Regional Park offers lake swimming during summer months. "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. More of a family oriented Campground," mentions Steve M.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing considerations: Many RV parks have tight spacing between sites. Liberty Lake RV Campground reviewer Brown Sign Junkies notes, "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."
Road access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult access roads. At Liberty Lake Regional Park, Angel A. cautions, "The road in was kinda sketchy if you are pulling a large RV." Allow extra time when navigating to campgrounds with narrow access roads.
Overnight parking options: For those just passing through, Cabela's in Post Falls (about 15 minutes from Spokane Valley) offers free overnight parking. Lawrence P. explains, "There is a designated area to park along the North parking area. There is signage directing you there but you can also park anywhere else along the outer perimeter of the parking lot(s)." Stays are limited to 48 hours.
