from $12 - $111 / night

Kind of Busy
Road wasn’t bad for our Class C. Sites were right off the road and there was some traffic. Not very private.

Genesis Mountain Farm
N idaho at its best
This location has RV parking in the field near the road, yurts on the mountain top, hot tub and sauna at the main house. Farm to table Dinners and breakfast available. Also rooms if you prefer. Almost 40 acres with a large hydroponic greenhouse to explore. Lots of farm animals. Would stop here again!
Sehvanna S.TravelerNorth Spokane RV Campground
Clean and convenient
I've been staying here for about a week. It's very clean and well kept. The neighbors all seem to keep to themselves. Not a lot of shade but there are trees around the outside of the park. Getting in and out of the camping spots is very easy. We have full hook ups and WiFi is included along with water but you do get charged for electricity. Long term camping requires a background check but it's the best rate for such amenities. (My winter rate is 636 for 28 days). The only complaint I have is the noise. There is a lot of road noise throughout the day and a lot of the night. This isn't really the park's fault though, Spokane is noisy.

GuideCoeur d'Alene RV Resort
A bit of road noise
Nice enough and well maintained park. Probably 1/3 - 1/2 of park appear to be full time residents. Sites are close with gravel for RV and a cement pad with a picnic table at each one. Combination of pull thru's and back-ins. Good power and water pressure, sewer hookups can be a bit challenging depending upon the tree roots and the adapters you have. Large shower and laundry facility. Pool is inside with a spa tub - neither are huge. Friendly staff and conveniently located just off of I-90. Good Wi-Fi and cell service, but no cable TV.

Clean but small Campground
This campground is well maintained, overall quiet except for when logging trucks pass by. There is a boat ramp available, and deer come around the campground.
Emily A.GuideKillarney Lake Picnic Site
This is not a camp site
Be advised—- we wasted 45 minutes today looking at this “site” due to a previous review. The picnic site is only a little pull off to access well you guessed it, the picnic area. I’m guessing you’d get the knock if you parked there- we heard from others that they patrol often. The only camping areas nearby are by the boat dock at $20 a night right next to each other in a concrete parking lot (but close to water).

No privacy
Loud generators next to me as I type this and wall to wall neighbors. No privacy and nothing else in the area. Wouldn’t recommend.

Bull Run Access Dispersed
Very pothole heavy road
Filled with rain even though it hasn’t rained recently- wouldn’t bring a big rig with low ground clearance through. Spots are all on the side of the road with no privacy.
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.
