Family friendly spot for passing through
We stayed here for just one night while driving through, but we would definitely stay again!
The campsites don’t offer much privacy from your neighbors. The setup is more like a parking lot, with the sites backed up along the same edge and only a small amount of space between them. That said, the lake view is really nice.
The park itself is great, with a playground, tetherball, and basketball court. We especially enjoyed the boat and gear rentals. The boats were clean, well-maintained, and in great condition. We stayed on a weekday, so the rentals were half price, which was a nice money saver. They also had inner tubes available at no extra charge to pull the kids behind the boat, which was a fun bonus!
Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric). There’s also a small restaurant on-site with affordable prices, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
We paid $45 for one night with full hookups, which we thought was a great value. We would definitely stay here again!

John S.ScoutBald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
A gem up high on Mt. Spokane
If you'd like a lovely campground standing 3000 ft above the northeast Columbia basin, this would be hard to beat. It's simply beautiful. A couple hundred feet you can peer twenty miles to the east (probably more). The campground is small (8 sites) and compact (you'll have neighbors near), but that's a good design choice --- the little plateau at Bald Knob simply isn't big enough for more.
If you're up for a stroll, then climb (or drive!) to the top of Mt. Spokane. On a clear day you can see three states (WA/ID/MT) and two countries (USA/Canada). If you get to the campground and then *don't* take a side trip to the top of Mt. Spokane, you will need to have your head examined. [N.B. If you're driving a motorhome, do *not* drive to the summit past the campground: the narrow one-lane (paved) road is just not going to let you go up while other cars are coming down.]
If you go there at the right time of year, you can stroll a couple hundred feet and harvest huckleberries. Actual huckleberries. I had waffles with fresh huckleberries, so eat your heart out.
This is one of the pricier campgrounds ($39/night in 2026), but there's potable water and restrooms with flush toilets and even hot water(!). And of course, there are bear-proof food lockers and garbage bins for each site.

Bald Knob Campground — Mount Spokane State Park
slightly pricey, TOTALLY WORTH IT! attention senior citizens!
If you'd like an alpine campground with easy access, unbelievable views, and excellent facilities, this is it.
in the TLDR department,
(*) paved road to within the last few hundred feet of your campsite.
(*) potable water
(*) restrooms with flush toilets and hot water (!)
(*) 8 campsites --- kind of cramped, but nice.
(*) 20 minutes drive to summit of Mt. Spokane with "unbelievably spectacular view"
(*) if you're there in mid- late- July, huckleberries are right there. I had them on waffles this morning.
Depending upon where you start, this campsite is about 45 minutes from Spokane WA. You'll have to have some patience with the last 15 miles or so of the (paved) road, as it is pretty curvaceous.
This campsite is at about 5100 ft on a shoulder of Mt. Spokane, whose summit is 5800 ft. Let's just say, if you go to the trouble to get to this campground, and *don't* take a side trip to the summit, there's not much I can do for you. If you're not familiar with the geography in this region, Mt. Spokane stands about 3800 ft above the valley floors in the Spokane Valley and adjacent valley floors. In other words, you'll have a stunning views on clear days. From the summit of Mt. Spokane, you can see two nations and three states.
The campground itself is small: 8 sites --- so prefer to reserve online.
At each site:
(*) a bear-proof garbage bin
(*) a bear-proof food bin
(*) a potable water source (shared)
(*) a surprisingly nice, clean restroom with (omg) flush toilets and (omg) hot water.
(*) they don't have showers, but gurl: you know what you can achieve with a sink and hot water and some wash cloths.
(*) it's a small thing, but there is some cell-phone coverage there. This means that if you're a smart phone and computer nerd, you can watch Netflix at night.
The thing is, as stupendous as this site is, it's a "one night" site.
However, I will be back next summer, because Bald Knob is just so amazing.
