Riverside State Park Equestrian Campground maintains horse corrals along with access to miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails along the scenic Spokane River. The campground includes fire rings, picnic tables, trash collection, and drinking water, all designed for equestrian campers. Toilet facilities are available, though the campground does not have showers or hookups for RVs. For equestrian training, an arena, round pen, and trail training course are located a quarter mile from the main camping area. The campground has earned a perfect 5-star rating from visitors who appreciate the well-designed horse facilities. Permission may be granted for camping in adjacent areas suitable for high lining horses when accommodating large groups or during overflow periods.

The equestrian campground connects to an extensive trail system through Riverside State Park, which provides numerous riding options for horse owners.

Riders access the trail system directly from the campground, connecting to routes that follow the Spokane River. The horse-focused amenities include the training arena and obstacle course, allowing riders to work with their horses during their stay.

The beautiful setting with breath-taking scenery creates the perfect atmosphere for bonding with horses while providing comfortable camping accommodations for both rider and mount.

    Riverside State Park Equestrian Campground — Riverside State Park

    Equestrian camping at it's best

    This area accesses many miles of hiking/biking/horseback trails along the scenic Spokane River, but the campground itself is reserved for equestrians. There is also an arena, round pen, and trail training course a quarter mile up the road from the campground.  For large groups and/or overflow, permission may be granted for camping in adjacent areas suitable for high lining horses.  Even though this area is only 20 minutes from our home, we frequently camp there just for fun!

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Nice quiet hidden campground

    This is our 3rd visit to Liberty Lake Regional Park. It’s a small campground on Liberty Lake just east of Spokane WA. It’s a little hard to get to, and not suitable for large Class A motorhomes!

    There are 16 regular RV sites with water & electric, and they have added 3 sites on top of the hill with full hookups. Also 12 tent sites. Close to Spokane. Hiking and horse trails.

    Bowl and Pitcher Campground — Riverside State Park

    Equestrian Camping

    Riverside State Park has a magnificent equestrian campground on the west side of the river.  The main campground has electrical hookups, horse corrals & pit toilets.  With permission, overflow camping is available by the arena facility and readily accommodates "high lines" for your horses.  Many miles of trails intersect at this point, or close by.  There are many hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking and even ORV activities in this huge park.  We visit frequently, but spring and fall are probably the most scenic times.

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Quiet park close to Spokane

    We spent 3 weeks at Liberty Lake Regional Park while visiting our son and grandkids in Spokane. The road in is a little narrow, but once in, it’s a great little campground. Most of the sites are fairly level. We stayed at 2 different sites over 3 weeks, and both were level. They are close together! They provide a fire pit if you want one. Picnic table, water and electric. The dump station is quite a drive, back out, up the hill. There is a clean shower/bathroom building and a beach within walking distance of the campground. While we were there the campground hosts did a fantastic job of keeping everything clean and tidy. Several hiking trails, including an equestrian trail, waterfall, fishing and lots of wildlife. There were deer in the campground every day, we saw moose, owls, pilated woodpecker, and hawks. We were there over July 4th weekend and they had a fireworks display on the beach.

    Bowl and Pitcher Campground — Riverside State Park

    Quiet, well maintained, though expensive state park.

    We enjoyed our stay at this CCC built state park.
    Sites one through 18 are on the river and much more spacious and have full utilities. We enjoyed the beauty of the Spokane River, walking across the suspension bridge and hiking the trails. The mosquitoes on the trail were very present, but in the campground we saw very few. There are flush toilets and warm showers. TMobile cell service was surprisingly slow given our proximity to Spokane. We did not have reservations beforehand and got the last space available on a Monday, Advise reservations. I rated the campground at four because of it’s expense and because the sites on the upper loop are a little tight.

    Beautiful Campground Minutes from Spokane

    The Bowl and Pitcher campground sits on the Spokane river just minutes from downtown Spokane. It doesn’t feel like it’s close to town. The area offers miles of hiking and biking trails. The campground has rv sites with water and electricity and tent camping sites. There’s a dump station too.

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Liberty Lake Tidy and quiet

    This is a Spokane County campground about a mile from the Idaho border. It’s located down a country road so use the website to find it. It had two ex-marine hosts when we visited so the potential for yahoos is low. In fact it was neat, tidy, and quiet when we visited for one night. It is a popular place for locals and fills quickly. Warm showers are included. Beware that tent sites 2&3 accommodate one compact vehicle only, this is not clear from website which will accept payment for 2. The other would have to park elsewhere as directed. The park is pleasant with lake access and hiking trails

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Not inexpensive but beautiful

    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, 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 but great for a couple of nights.
