Wolf Lodge Campground

48 RV Sites

Wolf Lodge Campground in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, offers 48 RV sites at Wolf Lodge Bay on the eastern arm of Lake Coeur d'Alene, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 62 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join boat and kayak rentals, a general store, and on-site dining. Forty-eight sites span back-in water-and-electric, back-in water-electric-sewer, pull-thru water-and-electric, and pull-thru water-electric-sewer categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 62 feet. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get, which is unusually plain and genuinely useful. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, a business center, and bike rentals handle the practical side. Boat rentals and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A community fire pit, pavilion, playground, dog park, shuffleboard, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, hiking, biking, and on-site dining fill the rest. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Lake Coeur d'Alene is among the most beautiful mountain lakes in the American Northwest, and Wolf Lodge Bay hosts one of the lower 48's most remarkable wildlife spectacles — bald eagles congregate here by the dozen each winter to feed on spawning kokanee, drawing viewers from across the region. Summer is peak in northern Idaho, with the December and January eagle season drawing a distinct second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

An outdoor pool, sport courts, volleyball, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a lake nearby for boating, paddling, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing, plus hiking, biking, off-road riding, and stargazing. Pets are welcome, with a dog park, and golf is close.

Genesis Mountain Farm

6 Glamping Sites

Genesis Mountain Farm in Sandpoint, Idaho, occupies a spectacular setting in Bonner County's Selkirk Mountain foothills above the Pend Oreille River valley, offering a distinctive farm-stay and event venue camping experience on a working mountain property where the forested Selkirk Range, a tributary creek, and the sweeping views characteristic of northern Idaho's lake-and-mountain country create the backdrop for hiking, biking, birding, and the stargazing made possible by Bonner County's genuinely dark skies. Positioned near one of the American Northwest's most beautiful small resort towns, the farm welcomes guests year-round in a natural setting of rare quality. Genesis Mountain Farm's accommodations lean toward the experiential and intimate—a dining experience, showers, bathrooms, and immersion in the working mountain farm property's natural character define the stay rather than resort-scale amenity infrastructure. The property's mountain, river and creek access, and forested terrain provide the primary recreation, supplemented by planned activities, hiking and biking trails through the surrounding Selkirk foothills, and the boating and off-roading opportunities accessible from the farm's Bonner County location. The wedding venue function of the property reflects the setting's natural beauty and its appeal to couples seeking an outdoor celebration in northern Idaho's dramatically scenic mountain environment. Sandpoint, a short drive from the farm, is consistently ranked among the most beautiful small towns in the American Northwest—a community of 8,000 on the northern shores of Lake Pend Oreille, one of the deepest and most scenic lakes in the United States at 43 miles long and up to 1,150 feet deep. The town's Cedar Street Bridge public market, First Avenue's independent restaurant and retail district, and the performing arts culture of the Panida Theater create a cultural vibrancy unusual in a city of Sandpoint's size, and the surrounding Selkirk and Cabinet mountain ranges provide four-season outdoor recreation of genuinely exceptional quality. Lake Pend Oreille's cold, deep waters support a remarkable fishery including trophy-sized lake trout, bull trout, and the Gerrard rainbow trout strain introduced from British Columbia that regularly produces fish exceeding 30 pounds—among the largest wild rainbow trout in North America. Schweitzer Mountain Resort above Sandpoint operates one of the Pacific Northwest's largest and most underrated ski areas, with 2,900 acres of skiable terrain and the Lake Pend Oreille views from the summit providing a visual setting that rival resorts in more commercially prominent destinations cannot match. The Cabinet Mountains Wilderness and Selkirk Mountains backcountry extend the hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the Bonner County landscape. Genesis Mountain Farm operates year-round in northern Idaho's four-season climate, where the Selkirk foothills' elevation and Sandpoint's lake-moderated microclimate create winter snowpack for skiing, spring wildflower seasons across the mountain meadows, summer hiking and water recreation, and the spectacular fall foliage display that colors the Pend Oreille valley's mixed conifer and hardwood forest through October. The farm's year-round openness and wedding venue calendar serve guests across every season, and the Schweitzer Mountain ski season from November through April creates a distinct winter recreation demand from skiers seeking a base camp above the lake in Sandpoint's immediate vicinity.

Red Rock RV Park

137 RV Sites, 1 Tiny House

Red Rock RV Park in Island Park, ID, offers 137 full-hookup RV sites and 1 tiny house, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites are sorted by service and layout: 30/50-amp back-ins, 30/50-amp economy sites, 30/50-amp premium pull-throughs, and 30/50-amp pull-in sites designated for motorhomes. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 70 feet the premium pull-throughs take long coaches. A general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, laundry, and a laundry drop-off and pick-up service cover the practical side — that last one is a genuine luxury on a long trip. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. Pickleball, picnicking, and lodgepole pine forest fill the grounds, with boating and a state park nearby. Island Park sits at the base of Sawtelle Peak in Fremont County, approximately 22 miles from Yellowstone's West Entrance on the US-20 corridor, on the Island Park caldera above the Henry's Fork of the Snake. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Yellowstone season books out months ahead.

Granite Point Resort

Granite Point Resort occupies 28 acres of Loon Lake shoreline in eastern Washington's Stevens County, offering lakeside sites and accommodations with a beach, boat rentals, a general store, and on-site dining. A recreation center, game room, and sports courts round out a self-contained summer destination in the inland Northwest. Lakeside sites and accommodations serve guests across a range of formats. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. On-site dining covers meals, which matters at a resort where guests tend to settle in for a week rather than an overnight. The lake frontage carries the recreation. A beach gives direct swimming access, boat rentals put guests on the water, and boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the property. A recreation center and game room handle indoor hours, with sports courts, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes outdoors and a playground for families. The programming is well-rounded enough that guests rarely need to leave. Pets are welcome. Loon Lake sits in the ponderosa pine and mixed conifer country of northeastern Washington, among the clear glacially scoured lakes and quiet small towns of the inland Northwest — a summer retreat quite different in character from the Columbia River and Puget Sound destinations that draw the bulk of the state's visitors. The resort has built its reputation over many seasons as a family destination, and demand reflects that. Summer is decisively the peak, with returning families booking year to year — reserve well ahead for July and August.
