Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Usk, WA

777 Reviews

South Skookum Lake Campground permits pets throughout its lakeside sites nestled in thick trees that provide privacy between campsites. The consistently clean vault toilets and well-maintained fire rings make this location popular with dog owners seeking a quieter outdoor experience. Most pet-friendly sites in the Usk area feature designated fire pits and picnic tables where campers and their dogs can relax together. Browns Lake Campground allows pets year-round and offers moderately secluded campsites that accommodate both tents and RVs. The campground's mile-long trail around the lake provides excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with a special cedar grove that many campers with pets enjoy visiting.

Leashed pets can explore the hiking trails surrounding South Skookum Lake, where the loop trail takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and offers wildlife viewing opportunities. Dogs swimming in Browns Lake enjoy the calm, clear water, though the 10-foot slope to reach the water features roots and weeds rather than a sandy beach. Cooks Lake provides more primitive options with approximately six dispersed sites that permit pets, though the six-mile gravel road access requires careful navigation especially with trailers. During summer months, the lake temperatures remain comfortable for dogs to swim, with tadpoles, turtles, and small water snakes visible in the shallows. Bears are present in the region, so proper food storage containers are essential when camping with pets at any of these locations.

    North Spokane RV Campground

    Well maintained and manicured

    Very clean with all the trim :) space between units, a dog park and playground, and nearby to restaurants while being just far enough on the edge of town to feel as such

    River Walk RV Park

    Parking lot near river and bike trail

    It is hard to find many positives about this place. It has nothing to do with the people, but only about the "campground". It is a parking lot. No grass. Very tight. Lots of seasonal folks. There is a dog park. It Is right on the river. It is right on the bike trail. It is close to town. Beyond that. There is nothing that I deem attractive or desirable about this place. So for me personally, we passed. Please check out the photos and judge for yourself.

    Blue Lake RV Resort

    Cute RV park

    Cute little RV park off the highway. Very quite with a small lake. Families can enjoy fishing, swimming, yard games, fire pit, and very dog friendly with a fenced dog park. We are tent campers and had a nice spot on lake. only a few tent sites. Super clean bathrooms with hot shower.

    Liberty Lake RV Campground

    Looks like a parking lot with RVs

    This is a newer RV park in Liberty Lake. They have only been open 2 years. Liberty Lake is between Spokane, WA and Coeur d’Alene ID. There are about 130 spaces or so, with concrete pads and paved streets. There is grass between sites, but they are much too close to be comfortable, and there is no shade! And, the rules!!! Lots more rules than most other camping areas.’ It also appears many of the residents are semi-permanent. They have free cable snd wifi, a dog park, playground, swimming pool, laundry, and dump station. The sites are 30/50 amp, most are pull through but the outer ring is back in. They also have propane. They are on the pricy side: an outside loop 50 ft. Site is $74/night. Good Sam gets you a 10% discount. It is easy access to I-90 both East and west.

    Coeur d'Alene RV Resort

    Nice Public Bldg

    We stayed the night in January and had a late check-in. Paid $69 and had access to full hookups. If you are not there before 5 pm they will not share the code for the bathrooms, etc so beware! Neighbors are told not to give out the code so we had quite a time trying to get in! The public building has bathrooms, laundry, pool, small store and a nice lounge. Lots are quite close together but it is neatly laid out with a few dog parks.

    Liberty Lake RV Campground

    City Slicker Camping

    All in all our trip was great. The campground is very clean and well maintained. All of the spots had big pads that were very easy to maneuver around. Very dog friendly park with a fenced off off lease dog park that was easy to access. The swimming pool was fantastic as well. If you are looking for a true outdoors in the woods camping spot this is not the place for you. You are maybe half mile from I-90 and road noise can be heard all hours. You are also in the middle of the town Liberty Lake. Minutes from Safeway, McDonalds and Starbucks. If that is your cup of tea this is the place for you.

    Liberty Lake Regional Park

    Quaint & Enjoyable!

    Tucked 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.

    Dragoon Creek Campground

    Beautiful and free

    Stayed here with my dog, pet friendly but the animals must be on a leash. Camp hosts are very attentive and make multiple rounds which is nice. Follow all posted rules and you’ll have a blast. Pack in and pack out.
