Best Campgrounds near Steptoe, WA

Really nice except for the broken glass, there was quite a bit of it scattered around which was disappointing.

This is a really lovely RV park, well cared for, nice owners. It’s pretty small, and it’s got a really peaceful and quiet vibe. The main road is right there but it was surprisingly quiet. There is propane fill here at $3.50/gal, not bad. 

Shower (there’s only one) was nice and clean, 4 quarters for 7 minutes. No laundry facilities here on site. There’s a large book & DVD lending library in the office. There’s zero cell reception here but the wifi was decent, it reached our spot in the back, though it did shut down for a few hours in the night. 

Really liked it here. We used the Passport America discount, and with taxes/fees paid $18 for a FHU pull through site, so roughly double that for full price. There’s not much to do here though if you don’t have a car. No place to walk to, no place to take your dogs to walk. Good if you’re passing through.

One of my favorite day spots. Lots of fire rings and beautiful sunsets.

Clear Lake Recreation Area is amazing! The scenery is beautiful, and there are plenty of activities for everyone.

Free pack in pack out dispersed camping

Primitive campsite with loads of space. Stopped for a night here. Good spot.

Nothing fancy, to new for large shade trees but well maintained and clean. Quiet area. Nice clean shower and restrooms

The host greeted us were shown the site warned about the irrigation coming on and then left alone. All the sites are water, power and sewer. LVery quiet park kind of out in the middle of nowhere but if you want to visit Palouse falls, this is a great place for your rv base. Found several other local attractions

Quiet campsite in Fishtrap Recreation Area.

Pros:

Very quiet open sites. Plenty of opportunity for solar 3 bar 5g Tmobile Open mostly level sites Not very busy Some larger sites able to accommodate bigger rigs (25' at least)

Cons:

No amenities (where we are, maybe further in they have them) Dusty and dry Fire restrictions in place Sites have some trash in them.

Overall we enjoyed it for a layover stay. It's very quiet, open skies were good to recharge solar and stargaze and it was a nice break from some of the more crowded campsites.

We followed the map from the post confirmation email we received from the Fairgrounds that included the gate code as well. We realized we hadn't recieved the email with the gate code, so about an hour out, we emailed to ask about the gate code. We got an immediate reply, which was nice. Once we got in the campground (CG) area, we had the choice of the closely spaced pull throughs A-1 through A-8 or the B back-in area that consists of 35 sites spread out over several rows. We decided on site B-29 with water and electric(50/30/20) that had one of the two nice-sized picnic tables in the CG plus two trees for some shade. Since the back-in sites are in a large grass/dirt field, you can pull around and make them pull throughs. You have to figure out how you are going to angle in the sites and hook up to the water and electric, as the utilties for each site aren't exactly intuitive. The power worked well and we got about 50 psi on the water. We got 4 bars on Verizon and since there are not a lot of trees, a clear shot for Starlink. This CG is bare bones, but we enjoyed that there were only about four campers while we were there on a Friday- Monday in July. There are plenty of little dumpsters and a dump station up near the north part/entrance. There’s a restroom building towards the CG entrance but it’s just a men’s and women’s two stall bathroom. There’s no shower facility in the CG. We enjoyed our three day stay.

This location is currently closed because of the recent fire.

It is peaceful, not very busy. Nice trees around. Owners seem a little haphazard, nice people but it’s maybe a little bit janky here. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d stay awhile.

This campsite was the perfect break in our drive from North Cascades to Glacier. The road was easy to find and there were so many great sites. There is a porta potty too. We found a site that was both tent-able and hammock-able. Lots of mosquitoes though!

Arrived early in the afternoon and got the last spot, looked to be a lot of people staying longer term; but still was quiet and there are lots of places to walk with pets/explore around camp.

We were on the last night of a long cross country road trip and looking for a place to stay on line. We were actually headed to another place, but followed signs to this place and I’m so glad we did! The camp host came out and greeted us warmly, despite being nearly midnight. She picked out the perfect spot for us and walked us there. I’m glad she did, because all spots are all grass and it’s a little difficult to tell where one stops and another starts. The campground has tent and RV sites, and is on the edge of Sprague Lake. Large, well manicures trees offer dappled sunlight, and an amazing front seat to birds! place is spotless. The woman was even raking goose poop. The woman in charge runs a tight ship, but the result is a quiet, clean, grassy oasis with bald eagles nesting next door. Two slight drawbacks, there are train tracks on the other side of the lake. It’s noticeable, but not deafening. Also, it was a bit pricey with a per person charge, a tax, then a 5% fee to pay with a credit card… but better than any alternative we had.
