Gallagher Lake Camping & RV Resort

89 RV Sites, 11 Cabins

Gallagher Lake Camping and RV Resort in Oliver, British Columbia, offers 89 RV sites and 11 cabins on a spring-fed lake in the South Okanagan, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 83 feet, open all year. Voyageur full service categories — including cable and a no-pets option — join a partial service tier, with a private sandy beach and pickleball courts. Eighty-nine sites span Voyageur full service, Voyageur full service 50-amp, Voyageur full service with cable, Voyageur full service no pets allowed, and Voyageur partial service categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 83 feet. Two things worth knowing: the partial service category does not carry the full hookup set, and there is a dedicated no-pets section for guests with allergies or a preference for quiet. Eighty-three feet accommodates the longest coaches. Eleven cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. A private sandy beach on the spring-fed lake anchors the recreation, with sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking filling the rest. Wine tasting and golf courses are close, along with Tickleberry's, the Golden Mile Fruit Market, and Vaseaux Lake. Oliver calls itself the Wine Capital of Canada, set in the only recognized desert ecosystem in the country. Summer and harvest drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Black Beach Resort

On the southwestern shore of Curlew Lake in Republic, Washington—in Ferry County in the Okanogan Highlands where the Kettle River Range's forested ridges, the Colville National Forest's 1.1-million acres of ponderosa pine and mixed conifer, and the Sherman Pass Scenic Byway's Continental Divide crossing create the remote northeast Washington outdoor destination that the Republic mining and ranching community has anchored since the 1890s gold rush—Black Beach Resort, the largest camping destination on Curlew Lake's southwestern shore, provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer on manicured waterfront grass sites, one-, two-, and three-bedroom cabin rentals with full kitchens, lake views, and private bathrooms, three fishing and boating docks, a boat launch, boat and motor rentals, a swimming area, a playground, sports courts, volleyball, a convenience store, showers, WiFi, firewood, and hiking trails in a lakeside resort whose Curlew Lake trout fishery, the Colville National Forest access, and the Ferry County's remote high-country character create the eastern Washington lake resort experience that the Spokane and Tri-Cities markets drive to find in the Okanogan Highlands' untrafficked valleys. The largest resort on Curlew Lake. Boat and motor rentals on-site. Colville National Forest surrounds it. Full hookup waterfront RV sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer on manicured grass alongside one-, two-, and three-bedroom cabins—each with a full kitchen, private bath, bed linens, and lake views—create the accommodation spectrum for the fifth-wheel angler and the family whose cabin preference matches the angler's routine. Three fishing and boating docks, a boat launch, and the boat and motor rental fleet eliminate the trailer-and-launch logistics for the arriving guest whose Curlew Lake week centers on the trolling and still-fishing that the lake's rainbow and cutthroat trout population sustains through the summer and fall. The swimming area, playground, sports courts, and volleyball serve the non-fishing family members whose Curlew Lake morning does not involve a rod, and the convenience store, showers, and WiFi handle the daily practical infrastructure in a remote Ferry County setting where the drive to Republic's limited services is acceptable precisely because the resort itself provides the essentials. Republic sits in Ferry County at 2,600 feet in the Sanpoil River valley, in the county seat whose gold mining heritage and the Stonerose Interpretive Center's fossil leaf and insect collection from a 49-million-year-old Eocene lake bed—where visitors excavate actual Eocene plant and insect fossils from the shale deposits—create the Ferry County identity that outdoor recreation and heritage tourism values in northeastern Washington's relatively undiscovered interior. The Colville National Forest's 1.1 million acres encompass the Kettle River Range and Selkirk Mountains' southern flank—the Sherman Pass Scenic Byway's highest paved pass in Washington State at 5,575 feet and the White Mountain Lookout's Kettle Crest panorama create the recreation inventory accessible in 20-to-40-minute drives from Curlew Lake. Curlew Lake State Park, 1 mile north, supplements the resort's amenities with additional boat ramp access and the state park day-use area on the lake's north end. Black Beach Resort operates seasonally through the northeastern Washington summer and early fall, with the Memorial Day through Labor Day trout and bass fishing season the primary open period and the September fishing—when the Curlew Lake's cooling water improves trout activity in the shallower lake margins—extending the productive season into the fall color period. Reserve your waterfront site or cabin at Black Beach Resort and let the three docks, the boat rentals, and Curlew Lake's rainbow trout deliver the Ferry County Okanogan Highlands lake resort that the Pacific Northwest's most remote and rewarding eastern interior provides.

Winchester RV Resort

14 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites

Winchester RV Resort in Republic, Washington, offers 14 RV sites, five cabins, and four tent sites among mature maple, willow, and pine in Ferry County, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted up to 113 feet — a rare length allowance for a small, wooded property. Buddy sites, a game room, and direct Ferry County Rail Trail access round it out. Fourteen sites run from 30/50-amp back-ins to standard and deluxe 30/50-amp pull-throughs, including buddy sites for parties traveling together, all carrying water, sewer, and electric and sized to 113 feet, with picnic tables. Five cabins and trailer rentals serve guests arriving without a rig, and four tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, propane fills, laundry, dump station, RV storage, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. One vehicle per site; extra vehicles are $5 per night. A one-time non-refundable pet fee of $25 applies. The mature tree canopy is the distinguishing feature — genuine shade that the exposed campgrounds on the Columbia Plateau below cannot offer. A playground, dog park, game room, community fire pit, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a lake on the property and hiking, biking, and horseshoes from camp. Off-roading is nearby. Pets are welcome. Republic sits in the Okanogan Highlands of northeastern Washington, with the Ferry County Rail Trail running directly from the resort and the Colville National Forest surrounding it. The town's early-twentieth-century mining heritage still shapes the area. The resort serves one of the Pacific Northwest's least-visited corners. Summer rail-trail cycling and fall color drive demand — reserve ahead for both.

Summerhill Farm

16 RV Sites

Summerhill Farm in Chelan, Washington, is a family-owned RV park on a working Chelan Valley farm, three miles up from downtown Chelan and about a five to seven minute drive from the lake. Sites take rigs up to 45 feet, and the Christensen family's agri-tourism orientation gives the property a working-landscape character that the lakefront RV parks below cannot offer. RV sites with electric hookups accommodate rigs to 45 feet, and a dump station is available on site. The access road climbs two hills from town with a couple of sharp turns — 45-foot fifth wheels and big rigs make it regularly, but drivers of low-clearance rigs or those carrying a rear box should take the grade slowly. From downtown Chelan the route runs up Bradley Street past the cemetery and rodeo grounds, roughly two miles, then about a mile further on. On-site facilities are straightforward rather than resort-scale: bathrooms and showers, a dump station, and walking trails through the farm property for guests who want to stretch their legs without driving anywhere. Boat rentals are available on site — a genuine convenience given how much of a Chelan visit happens on the water. Hiking access runs from the property directly. Pets are welcome. Lake Chelan stretches more than 50 miles into the eastern North Cascades and drops to nearly 1,500 feet, making it one of the deepest lakes in North America. Downtown Chelan's public beaches and boat launches are minutes below the farm, kokanee and lake trout sustain a year-round angling community, and the Lake Chelan wine appellation's tasting rooms are spread across the benchlands above the lake. Summerhill Farm operates through the Lake Chelan season, with summer the clear peak for lake recreation and the winery circuit. The spring Blossom Festival covers the benchland orchards in bloom, and the September–October harvest brings crush events across the valley. Reserve ahead for summer holiday weekends, when Chelan-area inventory tightens sharply across every property type.

Alderwood RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Alderwood RV Resort in Mead, Washington, offers 101 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service just north of Spokane, open all year. Deluxe back-in, premium pull-through, and deluxe pull-through categories join standard back-in and dry camp sites, with a recreation center, walking trails, and dog park. One hundred one sites span standard back-in, back-in deluxe, pull-thru deluxe, premium pull-thru, and dry camp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp. The dry camp tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate — a useful option that many resorts do not offer. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Check-in is 1pm and checkout 11am; contact the office about early arrivals or late departures, as fees may apply. A recreation center, walking trails, playground, and dog park with fenced pet areas fill the grounds. Skiing, a state park, and wine and beer tasting are all nearby, and the birding through the surrounding evergreen corridors is productive. Pets are welcome. Mead sits where the forested northern fringe of Washington's second-largest city gives way to the evergreen corridors and agricultural valleys of rural Spokane County — close enough to the city for dining, medical care, and the airport, far enough out for genuine natural surroundings. Year-round operation and nearby skiing make this viable well outside the summer window. Summer draws the heaviest demand, with the winter months serving snow travelers and extended stays. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

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.

Sun Retreats Birch Bay

271 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 5 Onsite RV/Trailers

Sun Retreats Birch Bay in Blaine, Washington, offers 276 full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites two miles from the Canadian border, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance. Open and standard full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, fitness center, disc golf course, and clubhouse. Two hundred seventy-six sites span full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, full hookup pull-thru 50/30/20-amp, open full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, and open full hookup pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The open categories give more space and light for guests who prefer it to a treed site. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Beachwood RV Resort. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, golf cart rentals, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Biking, fishing, swimming, and picnicking round it out, with a golf course and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. Birch Bay sits at the northernmost edge of Whatcom County, where Semiahmoo Bay and the protected waters of Drayton Harbor make a marine environment of unusual beauty. Birch Bay State Park adjoins the resort, and Vancouver is a short drive north. Summer is decisively the season in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well ahead.

North Haven Campground

20 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 2 Glamping Sites

North Haven Campground in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, offers 20 RV sites, five furnished log cabins, and two glamping sites on the Kootenai River in Boundary County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 85 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories carry full and partial hookups in the northernmost county of Idaho, 30 miles from the Canadian border. Twenty sites run in water-and-electric back-in, full-hookup pull-through, and water-and-electric pull-through configurations, all carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and site WiFi. Five fully furnished log cabins and two glamping sites serve guests without a rig, with Conestoga wagons and tipis proposed for future glamping expansion. A general store — the Outpost, which doubles as the office — plus laundry, a bathhouse, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Quiet hours run 10pm to 8am, and an updated campground map shows cabin, RV site, bathhouse, and Outpost locations. On-site amenities are practical rather than extensive: a playground for families and walking trails through the property. This is a rustic and comfortable base rather than a programmed resort, and the setting does the work. Pets are welcome. Bonners Ferry sits on US-95 in the Kootenai River valley, where the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains meet in the most dramatically mountainous corner of the Idaho Panhandle, amid old-growth cedar and hemlock. The Canadian border at Eastport is 30 miles north, putting Nelson, Cranbrook, and Kootenay Lake within reach. The campground serves the northern Idaho season. Summer is peak — reserve ahead, particularly for the cabins.

Rest in Peace RV Park

In Sagle, Idaho—in Bonner County on US-95 ten miles south of Sandpoint where Lake Pend Oreille's 148-square-mile surface, 1,150-foot depth, and the surrounding Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains create the most dramatic freshwater lake setting in the inland Pacific Northwest, and the Schweitzer Mountain Resort's 2,900 feet of vertical skiing, the Sandpoint arts community, and Priest Lake's remote northern wilderness create the four-season outdoor destination that the northern Idaho Panhandle's most complete recreational landscape provides—Rest in Peace RV Park offers 17 full hookup RV sites on 5 acres with 30 and 50-amp service, water, and sewer, an outdoor pool, walking trails, sports courts, a dog park, a dump station, and showers with gated access and WiFi, all positioned within minutes of Lake Pend Oreille's boating and paddleboarding, 19 miles from Silverwood Theme Park, and at the base of the Sandpoint recreation corridor. Lake Pend Oreille is minutes away. Schweitzer is up the mountain. The name is memorable. The 17 full hookup sites on 5 US-95 acres—30 and 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and WiFi on a gated property with dump station, showers, sports courts, dog park, outdoor pool, and walking trails—provide the functional small-park infrastructure in Bonner County's lakeside corridor at the intersection of the Lake Pend Oreille recreation economy and the US-95 north-south travel route connecting Sandpoint to Coeur d'Alene. The outdoor pool, sports courts, and walking trails create the on-property recreation that the non-lake afternoon and the non-Schweitzer morning complement with the lake and ski access that the park's location provides within a short drive. The dog park and pet-friendly environment serve the outdoor travel culture's companion animal infrastructure in a region where trails and wilderness areas are fundamental to the Bonner County lifestyle. Sagle sits in Bonner County at the southern base of the Sandpoint peninsula, on the US-95 corridor between Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene where Lake Pend Oreille's southern bays—Bottle Bay, Garfield Bay, and the Trestle Creek area—provide the kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and shore fishing access that the lake's southern end creates at quieter water levels than the Sandpoint marinas' boat traffic. Lake Pend Oreille's 1,150-foot depth makes it one of the five deepest lakes in the United States—the Navy's Acoustic Research Detachment has operated submarine-scale testing on the lake since World War II, using the depth and freshwater clarity for underwater acoustic research that the classified Cold War testing history made the lake genuinely consequential in naval defense. Sandpoint, 10 miles north on US-95, provides the Bonner County resort town's complete activity infrastructure—the Festival at Sandpoint's outdoor summer concert series, the Pend d'Oreilles Winery's tasting room on Cedar Street, the Schweitzer Mountain Resort's 2,900-foot vertical on Schweitzer Mountain Road, and the City Beach's Lake Pend Oreille swimming create the Sandpoint experience that the northern Idaho outdoor recreation community has built into one of the Pacific Northwest's most recognized small resort cities. Silverwood Theme Park, 19 miles south on US-95 near Athol, provides the Pacific Northwest's largest amusement and water park with roller coasters, water slides, and family rides across 75 acres. Rest in Peace RV Park operates seasonally through the northern Idaho outdoor calendar, with the lake's boating season from May through September, the Schweitzer ski and snowboard season from December through March, and the fall color in the Selkirk and Cabinet mountain forests from late September through mid-October creating the three primary activity periods that the Sagle corridor's four-season appeal sustains. Reserve your site at Rest in Peace RV Park and let the name, the Lake Pend Oreille proximity, and Schweitzer's vertical deliver the northern Idaho Panhandle adventure that Bonner County's most memorably named campground provides.

Whispering Pines RV Campground

71 RV Sites

Whispering Pines RV Campground in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 71 RV sites across 60 acres in the Cascade foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 120 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. River back-in and full-hookup categories in both water-and-electric and water-electric-sewer versions join pull-through tiers, with a clubhouse, beach, and general store. Seventy-one sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and river back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 120 feet. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get, which is unusually plain and genuinely useful. One hundred twenty feet accommodates anything on the road. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. A lake, pond, river, and beach support fishing and swimming, with a clubhouse, walking trails, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Directions: from westbound I-90 take Exit 84 and turn left at the stop sign, two-tenths of a mile to the park; from eastbound, Exit 84 then east on 1st Street to Oakes Avenue and right. The store runs 9am onward May through September. Cle Elum sits at the eastern approach to Snoqualmie Pass, where western Washington's evergreens give way to Kittitas County ponderosa. Summer is peak. Reserve well ahead.

Alpine Lakes Lodge

30 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Alpine Lakes Lodge in Easton, Washington, serves as a year-round mountain retreat at the crest of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County — a property with a range of accommodation formats, from a fully equipped lodge capable of hosting 14 guests to private cabins, glamping sites, and RV spaces with water and electrical hookups in a setting where the Cascade Mountains define the view in every direction and the surrounding terrain delivers outdoor recreation across every season. Easton's position at the pass elevation means proximity to some of the most accessible mountain landscape in Washington State, within two hours of Seattle's population center and surrounded by the Wenatchee National Forest and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness for which the lodge takes its name. The lodge accommodates groups and families requiring solid-wall mountain lodging with plush amenities, while cabins provide more intimate versions of the same forested mountain stay. Glamping sites serve guests who want an outdoor-adjacent experience with shelter already in place, and RV pull-through sites with 30- and 50-amp electrical service and water hookups handle motorhomes and trailers needing full infrastructure in a mountain setting where self-contained capability is genuinely convenient. The property's multi-format approach makes it a practical choice for groups where different participants want different accommodation levels within a shared destination. Iron Horse State Park, following the former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad grade across the Cascades, provides one of Washington's most distinctive trail experiences — a nearly level path following the historic rail corridor through the Snoqualmie Pass area, passing through the famous Snoqualmie Pass Train Tunnel (a two-mile bore through the Cascade crest), and providing a hiking and cycling route with extraordinary mountain views and historical infrastructure embedded in the landscape. Lake Easton State Park, adjacent to the lodge area, adds a lakefront recreation component with boating, fishing, and swimming in the glacially carved lake basin that serves as one of the pass region's primary recreational anchors. Swiftwater Cellars, a wine destination and gathering space at Suncadia resort in nearby Cle Elum, provides an unexpected level of culinary and viticultural sophistication within easy driving range of the lodge. The Suncadia area more broadly adds golf, spa facilities, and the full resort amenity suite to the regional day-trip options available from a Easton base camp. Alpine Lakes Lodge operates year-round, with summer delivering peak mountain recreation through the hiking and lake activity season and winter providing ski access at The Summit at Snoqualmie, one of the Seattle region's most accessible ski areas just minutes from the lodge. Fall foliage in the Kittitas County and Cascade foothills begins in late September and delivers sustained color through mid-October across the mixed conifer and deciduous terrain surrounding Easton. Reserve lodge and cabin accommodations well in advance for ski weekends and the summer hiking season, when Snoqualmie Pass access makes this one of the most sought-after mountain lodging corridors in Washington State.

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch

49 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 49 RV sites and eight tent sites across 70 acres of wooded and lakeside terrain, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Lakeside view back-ins join 30-amp and 50-amp categories at a working ranch turned camping destination. Forty-nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp and 50-amp service, sized to 75 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. The lakeside view category is worth requesting. Eight tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and RV storage handle the practical side. The property's character is the draw. A 3,200-square-foot wooden dance hall anchors the grounds, with shade-dappled trails through the timber and a private lake with a sandy swimming area. A recreation center, walking trails, picnicking, swimming, and birding fill out the rest. This reflects the independent character of eastern Washington's agricultural communities rather than the corporate outdoor resort model, which is precisely why guests choose it. A golf course, river, and boating are nearby. Pets are welcome. Cle Elum sits at 651 Lund Lane in the Kittitas County foothills, where the eastern slope of the Cascades transitions to the drier, sunnier climate of the Columbia Plateau — reliably better weather than the west side. Summer is peak. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.
