      copper mountain rd dispersed

      Ok spot for overnight

      Driving directions are spot on. Good cell coverage (AT&T). Arrived around 6pm and drove the 1.8 mi. on gravel road. Road in decent condition. I’m pulling my 13’ Scamp, which rides low and had no problem as long as I took it slow. Drove 1/4 mi past the site in order to find a place to turn around. Site is well used and a little dirty. Has DIY campfire ring and lots of dead wood around though it looks like it’s just fallen, not v. tidy. Some trash. Great views about 20’ down. Site is right on road and a dozen + cars passed, including some in the middle of the night...not great due to noise and headlights. It is possible to hear the interstate, but only large trucks.

      Blackwell Island RV Park

      One night stay at Blackwell Island RV

      Great spot on the Spokane river. We spent one day at this RV park and really enjoyed it. Had a great view of the river. The sights are large and most are pull through. There is about a half mile loop around the park if you’re in for a good walk. Part of it goes through a short woods. Beach and a place to dock your boat if you have one and are fishing the lake CDA. Shower house and rest rooms are spotless. The park is kept very clean. Full hook ups if needed. There are many places to eat out or re supply in the area. Would come back on our way though this area again.

      We're from PA and have stayed here twice. Pretty open and nice to stay the night. The lake is nice too. Have seen a couple little pan fish. Road is a little bumpy so go slow

      St. Maries Riverfront RV Resort

      Quiet In-TownRiverfront View

      I was needing a quick in town location due to a medical emergency with my pup that cut my planned trip short. The sites are all brand new and still coming into their own.

      Spaces are sizable, but close together and will not offer much privacy, but it’s very clean and good for what it is, a place close to town with a great view of the river.

      I’ll definitely be staying here whenever I am in town to visit family.

      Camp Ward — Farragut State Park

      Employees are a joke

      I’ve never been so insulted by an employee in my life! The guest service desk is extremely rude and racist. So disappointing that a national park employee would treat a visitor with such disrespect. We will not be coming back due to the workers.
