Cloverleaf is a small, walk-in only campground near Gifford. Tent sites are tucked into the pines with lake shore access. This campground is great for those wanting a more rugged, primitive camping experience with standard amenities like fire rings and pit toilets. Although small, Cloverleaf Campground is not as popular as other campgrounds and doesnt often fill.
This campground is popular with families that enjoy a more primitive and private camping experience.

Stayed for only 1 night in a tent camping spot. All spots were occupied, lots of kids running around and screaming. Showers were great and clean. They do have structures for weather which was nice to consider it started to rain. Also there’s construction going on next to the fence for tent camping... not fun
Traveler
Location and tent sites are Nice. Bathroom is fine and they also sell ice.
GuideA nice campsite close to Spokane and Idaho. Friendly staff and clean. I really like this spot, but the noise from the trains is loud. Be sure to bring earplugs if you are tent camping.
TravelerBathrooms are ok. Only 2 stalls and 2 showers, but lots of campers. The tent sites are not very good at all. The ground is so hard The stakes can't even go into the ground. No fire pit and cramps tent spots.
ScoutKM and RPI rv resort, they do have a couple of designated tent sites, and 2 members-only cabins. Clubhouse is pretty much shut down, I guess you could say it has “long covid”, heh

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.
GuideTucked back behind a neighborhood of fairly luxurious homes and sitting near the lake, these sites offer a nice spot to catch a breath while traveling. We stayed at tent site 10 and it has been perfect. $27/night for tent and $38/night for RVs. Pet friendly, great host, facilities, and plenty of space.
TravelerWe pulled in to the public park and the attendant told us to check with the camp host even tho the sign said full.
We had our choice of two tent sites for our conversion van. We selected a shaded spot . They had ice for sale and take credit cards.

We had this place completely to ourselves when we stayed there...it was amazing! There is lake access with a small dock and boat launch, a common area consisting of covered picnic area with picnic tables, and a public vault toilet. We were camping in a tent trailer; easy access and ample space to turn around. Sites are fairly level and are back-in only...though there appeared to be a spot for RV parking (no hook-ups). There is a line of trees near the camp sites offering partial shade (depending on where the sun is), but the sun gets pretty brutal; other than the covered picnic area, shade is limited.
Note: There was no water available when we visited (locks on pipes & faucet handles removed), so be sure to bring your own!
Wildlife: We witnessed a confrontation between a giant heron and an osprey...it was pretty impressive! The heron made a noise that sounded a lot like what I'd imagine a pterodactyl would have sounded like. Also, we heard what must have been a pack of at least 6 or 7 coyotes a little after 11pm...and then heard wolves howling in the wee hours of the morning. Super cool!
Lake: We didn't have a boat or fishing poles...but I'd imagine that the lake would be great for both. It had a fair bit of algae...so probably not a lake you'd necessarily want to swim in. My husband, however, found the lake to be great for flying his RC float plane. Oh! And there was an old abandoned cabin on the opposite side of the lake...creepy cool.

I love the Colville National Forest and enjoy discovering different campgrounds within it.
I like to camp at Pioneer Park when I am in Newport visiting family and will always choose campsite 14! It is the best out of all the campsites there, very private, incredibly spacious, and with a nice trail to the water. I only tent camp so I don't know how accommodating it is for an RV, however.
GuideThe tent sites had a nice triangular metal and wood canopy for shelter from rain and also for shade. It is right next to an active railroad, so bring earplugs if you don’t want to be woken up by trains several times. The bathrooms were LARGE and pretty clean. Good laundry facility. A good spot to stop for the night.
TravelerSites were close together and little privacy. The tent sites and cabins were the best in the park. The staff was wonderful. Some parts of the park needed updates. The park is nearby to the river trail that is paved and takes you along the Spokane river. Linens and bath towels included in deluxe cabins would be a huge plus.
GuideI stayed in the tent part of the campground, and the sites (especially the first few) are awfully close. This is a great campground for camping with friends but I don't recommend it for a quiet getaway.
Regardless, I still enjoyed my time with my dog and the tent sites were nicely shaded so I wasn't baking in them. There's many hiking trails nearby to explore and you're walking distance from the lake.

Nice, pleasant campground on the bay. Some tent sites overlooking the water, or can be used with truck camper or van. Some sites across the road can see the bay. Not big rig friendly. Water available. Clean pit toilets. &24/$12 with senior pass. 36 miles from town, but takes about an hour to get here. Stayed 8/1. Campground closed after 9/25.
LegendThis 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.

I had the same experience as another reviewer. An algae bloom cancelled a nearby reservation, but I came late here and got a great welcome from the owner. I drove 7 miles on a dirt road and still found myself next to a busy highway and loud-tootin' train area, which gave him a good laugh. He was interesting and open-minded politically, so it was a value-added conversation. The 2 assistants I met were just as accommodating. I'm used to traffic and train noise anyway - ear buds at night took care of any problems. They do fun events like firework shows, DJs/karaoke, fishing tourneys and car/jet ski shows. The tent sites are open area that allows fires, but I also noticed they were working on creating more private tent sites at both ends of the large property. The lake was beautiful and not too big or small. Mosquitos were not worse than expected as the wind helped a bit. Everything worked, including the full-service bathrooms (4 quarters = 5 shower minutes) and mainly empty office/store that the owner was planing on stocking more as time went by. Thriving bird populations add to the good vibes.

It's a relatively small loop campground along a creek, close to the Pend Oreille River. Gravel road, ideal for tent camping. When we camped there in September of 2017, there were 3 occupied spaces, all of whom left the next day so we had the whole campground to ourself. There were primitive bathrooms, and from my memory no running water. I also don't think we paid, because we couldn't find anyone to give money to. Maybe this is because it was fall, or maybe it's actually free. Either way, pleasant experience here!
RangerWe actually live right down the road from this park and now a days, hike here regularly. But back in the day, we camped here a few times when a big vacation was not an option. This is a nice little campground with plenty of tent sites and trails to check out. It is really close to Spokane but is nestled in such a way that you would not realize the city is there. Can be dry and hot in the summer but in the fringe seasons, it is a great place to visit.
Traveler
We tent camped, sharing a site with some friends in an RV. Only some of their sites are reservable, others are walk up. We did not have reservations so had to join a lottery to get one of the walk up sites. Despite arriving early in the morning, we did not know until mid afternoon if we got a site. Half way through our stay we had to move sites and again go through the lottery system. Fortunately we got sites both times, others were not so fortunate.
Otherwise it is a well taken care of camp ground. Lots of paved hiking paths, a beautiful beach, and a great play structure. No camp store on site.
Scout
Great family place, so much to do for everyone. Especially if you love the water. The campsite is butted up to the lake, which makes it great for sunsets and sunrises. There is hardly any shade at the campsite. The RV/camper sites have full or partial hook-ups. All back in. The campsite is clean and very friendly. You can rent kayaks, and paddle boards there. There are tent sites and have public bathrooms and showers. Make sure you have cash or check when you check in unless you made a reservation on the website. Definitely will be back, gorgeous place to stop and stay for awhile.
GuideStayed with with our trailer with some friends who were also tent camping. Overall it was nice and quiet. Train runs directly next door and passing late at night and can be VERY loud. Office closed very early and was mostly not around. Fairly empty due to staying during the week. Had what looked like some permanent or long staying folks. We had a corner spot with lots of grass which made the stay more enjoyable. Not the best or cleanest KOA but I would stay here again if in the area.
Dumping became an issue. Our spot had a sewer problem we found out which overflowed if too much water was poured down the drain. Had to move spots when leaving just to dump.
ScoutThis 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

The volunteers were amazing so helpful and friendly! Camp site 12 is where you want to be especially if you like the sunshine. Only site on the river tent site only with bbq pit and picnic table and some shade. Bathrooms are close the fishing dock is closer and you could even swim in your own hole! The public beach is about 30 yards away and great for younger kids. Also from camp site 12 you can see the playground if you were to bring kids! They have free hot showers and firewood for sale on site as well. The rangers come give a presentation every third Friday I went and it was on all the different kinds of pines we have in INW.
Guide
One of our favorites on a month long camping trip cross country. The lake was great for a swim and to play fetch with our dog. The place was nearly empty when we arrived so we got to pick what to our knowledge was the only non-tent site a slight view of the lake. Bathrooms were clean. No showers. A tad buggy but not too bad for being near a lake. Didn't get to do the trail because we didn't bring bear spray as a sign at the time advised. You drive for a bit down a dirt road to get here but the Google Maps directions were pretty spot on (slightly off at the end but there was signage to help navigate). A nice coffee shop in the nearest town too.
LegendThis is my second visit to Liberty Lake Regional Park. After 4 years, it’s still a great park, if a little older. There are about 18 RV sites, all with water and 30amp electric, and 2 full hookup sites up on the hill. There are also about 15 tent sites, and a group site. The road coming into the campground is steep and narrow with a sharp turn at the end so larger RVs would have a problem. Also, the sites are not level. Some RV owners had to Jack up the front to get level. The bathrooms are clean, if a little worn. We came to visit grandkids, and they enjoyed Liberty Lake as well. There is lots of shade, a swimming beach, playground and picnic area. There are also several hiking trails that start at the campground. UN
LegendThis campground has been around for awhile, but is under new ownership. It’s a really unique spot right on the shores of Loon Lake in Washington State. It’s a bit remote for one night, but if you’re planning a family reunion over a long weekend or something, this would be a great spot.
They’ve got a variety of accommodations — RV spots for those that use them, plus more permanent structures like “vintage cabins and retro apartments” (this sounds a little suspicious, but I swear, they’re good enough as long as you bear in mind that this is a campground. They even have a cafe and a little store so you only have to rough it solo as much as you want to.
They have a little marina with boat slips if you have your own, or you can rent from them and take advantage of everything the lake has to offer. Due to the remote location compared to other lakes closer to the Washington State metro areas, there aren’t a ton of people on the water here at any time of year, even during holidays.
I’m not sure how tent camping would work here, I’m sure they would find a way to accommodate it if you wanted to try, but if I was in a group sans RV I’d probably splurge on a cabin and call it a day.
Ranger
Not the best place to hang out, unless you are attending an event here.
The RV map I included makes it look a lot nicer than it is, but it’s not terrible. By biggest complaint is that there are few trees.
It’s a reasonable size plot of land where you can park your RV.
They do not allow tent sites but you really would not want to camp that way in this space.
There is space to spread out and hang out side, and it has mixed terrain of pavement and gravel.
There is not much cover here so having a way to shade yourself if the summer is key to being cool in the few hottest weeks of the year.
It can get pretty noisy in this area depending on the time of year that you go, but that’s what you expect with a city parking spot with festivities around.
Nestled in the scenic landscapes of Washington, Tumtum offers a variety of tent camping options that cater to outdoor enthusiasts looking for adventure and tranquility.
