    This is the oldest campground in the Eastern Washington State starting late 18th century. It occupies 5 treed acres of land and 1,200 ft of shoreline right on the Silver Lake (Spokane County). The services include RV sites (both Full Hookups and Electric/Water hookups), Camp sites, Diamond Event Venue and vacation home rental (B&B). The SUPER easy access (5' to Interstate 90 & 15' to downtown Spokane) combines the country-side environment where you can meet and greet deer, moose, ducks, goose, turkey, quail, farm animals, AND FISH, with the quick access to the modern-day amenities of a vibrant downtown Spokane, making this resort a short escape to the countryside that you long for. Welcome to the Park.

    Not much to do...

    Well, it was a beautiful area , with great scenery but if you have kids under 10 yrs old there is absolutely nothing for them to do. I mean NOTHING. We won't go back. We never saw a single staff member or volunteer in 3 days.

    Wonderful Spokane campsite in a gorgeous state park!

    I love camping at Bowl and Pitcher at least once a year. It's a well kept campground in a gorgeous state park with great hiking and walking trails! I strongly suggest campsite 24 for tent campers, it is the one I always get when I camp here. It is large, nicely shaded, and more private than a lot of the other campsites at the campground.

    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.

    Nice Little Campground

    Great little campground on a meadow behind Liberty Lake. Bathrooms, showers, and a sink for dishes available. Sites aren't super private, but have adequate space. Felt very safe for solo camping. Great halfway between Rainier and Glacier.

    Fantastic Layover

    I was so happy to find this place when looking for a place to stay overnight with my horse. The facility has a perimeter gate as well as gates to each pasture (2). The fencing was nice metal panels between sturdy posts. There was Hotwire strung on the inside of the pasture in places to keep horses off the Arbor Vitae trees. Grass was mowed short and my horse could see another horse all night. He had a big water trough to drink from. The hosts checked on him and sent me updates through the evening while I was in town. I recommended them to others I met on my ride through the Lolo area. I was very impressed and happy with the experience.

    Great spot on the lake for 4th of July

    Came here with another family for the a few days during the 4th! Took the boat too. Great spot for fishing and playing with the kids. We stayed on the premium lake view site which was solid and away from much of the other campers so it felt private.

    Bathrooms and showers were far away and weren't that great. Fireworks from here for the 4th were awesome though!

    Biggest gripe with this campground was that every day twice a day the sprinklers would turn on and crush our campsite, so we had to cover sprinkler heads with buckets. So odd that they would have that while people are camping here.

    Great site, a little loud

    The campsite was in great shape, and neighbors were super respectful. Only complaint would be car noise (we stayed right by the road though), but it wasn’t that bad. Bathrooms were in AMAZING condition and staff was so friendly.

    Excellent as usual

    We have tented here several times over the years while motorbike camping, this time was in our 5th with the bikes in garage. We stayed in the Birch Loop with water and hydro hook up. Nice mature shade trees with good clearance. Short walk to a great beach. Staff were great to deal with. Short drive for Costco and such. Great location for a motorbike base camp. So many great roads…especially the Spiral Highway and Snake River. When the jet boats are out playing which seemed mainly on the weekend it could be annoying to some but we really didn't notice it. Birch loop is well shielded from the river by mature trees. Happy Camping. Oh, and don't park on the grass.

    Great River Access

    Overall a nice park. Some things seem to be in disrepair like broken water pumps, branches down everywhere, a lot of sick trees, etc. Nice beach for swimming and launching kayaks. No real view of the water from the campsites but easy access via walking trail. Lewis and Clark center was pretty sparse but the video was interesting. Campers were all very respectful and it was very relaxing. I would camp here again. Site #15 in the A loop definitely had the best view of the water.

    Sites Close Together

    While in a beautiful setting with a lot of hiking & biking trails around, the loops part of this campground have the sites close together with no privacy. We were happy to see a heavy presence of Park Rangers over 4th of July weekend. If you're used to dispersed camping, you won't be happy with how close your neighbors are. Maybe it's the perfect campground for non-busy times.

    Terrific sunsets!

    Nice level car camping spot. Rolled in and took one of the 2 upper road RV sites away from the main campsites below and was treated with a great sweeping view of the lake with a stellar sunset. Good fire ring with grate. Open bbq grill. Picnic table has seen better days. Didn't use the showers. Clean bathrooms. Would stay there again.

    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

    Great location

    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 & walking trails.

    Cons: campsites are very close together with no privacy. If you are looking for an "off the grid" vibe, this is definitely NOT your spot.

    Nice campground

    Nice campground. Level spaces for the most part. Ample space between sites, pull they'd, picnic tables and fire pits. Large pine trees, so plenty of shade and pine cones, clean restrooms. Would stay again. Price is $40/night with electric and water, dump station.

    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.

    Busy and well maintained

    Did not have reservations but got lucky with an open site. Make a reservation ahead of time if you want to be guaranteed a site. The campground is full and a bit loud. But very clean and well maintained, including the bathrooms. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Multiple water spigots close by. Lots of walking trails nearby and a cool suspension bridge over the river. Other than the lack of solitude, absolutely no complaints.

    Beautiful, Clean Facilities, Crowded

    Great trails along the river adjacent to the campground. Warm showers cost a dollar or two, but they're clean and the bathrooms are clean. Would get five stars if they camping sites were more private.
