Appleside RV

33 RV Sites

Appleside RV Park in Clarkston, Washington, provides 44 paved full-hookup sites on the Snake River corridor in Asotin County — a campground at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers where the historic Lewis and Clark Expedition camped in October 1805 on its journey to the Pacific and where the modern traveler finds a well-equipped full-hookup RV facility within 10 miles of some of the most historically significant and geographically dramatic terrain in the Pacific Northwest. Clarkston's position directly across the Snake River from Lewiston, Idaho, places the campground at the gateway to Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America, and within reach of the Nez Perce National Historical Park's multiple interpretive sites through the Clearwater-Snake River corridor. Forty-four paved sites with both 30- and 50-amp full hookup service accommodate rigs up to 104 feet in a back-in configuration designed for hassle-free setup on paved surfaces that handle Pacific Northwest mud and rain without the access challenges of unpaved campground roads. Pristine restrooms, ice availability, and laundry facilities address the practical daily needs of both through-travelers using Clarkston as a Columbia-Snake River corridor stop and destination guests arriving specifically for the canyon, historical, and fishing resources of the region. The pet-friendly policy and the campground's welcoming community character reflect an operational philosophy built for guest comfort. Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, accessible from Clarkston and the Snake River Road to the south, encompasses the deepest river gorge on the North American continent — 7,993 feet from the canyon rim to the Snake River at its deepest point, substantially deeper than the Grand Canyon in terms of total relief. Jet boat tours from Clarkston's Snake River marina penetrate the roadless canyon for the most dramatic viewshed access, and the canyon's wild character — rapids, mountain goats, and pre-contact petroglyphs along the canyon walls — makes it one of the most compelling river landscapes in the American West. The Nez Perce National Historical Park spans 38 sites across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Montana that collectively interpret the history and culture of the Niimíipuu (Nez Perce) people — one of the most sophisticated and historically consequential Native American nations of the Pacific Northwest plateau. Buffalo Eddy, on the Snake River south of Clarkston, preserves one of the largest concentrations of petroglyph art in the Pacific Northwest in a riverside setting accessible to visitors by a short trail above the river. The Lewis and Clark Discovery Center in Lewiston, just across the river, provides interpretive context for the expedition's September-October 1805 transit through the Clearwater-Snake corridor. Appleside RV Park serves guests year-round in the Snake River Canyon climate, where Clarkston's position in the sheltered canyon bottom creates a banana belt effect — warmer winters and earlier springs than the surrounding plateau, making it one of the most temperature-comfortable RV destinations in the inland Pacific Northwest during shoulder seasons. Summer brings the full Snake River and Hells Canyon recreation season with jet boat tours operating at peak frequency. Reserve sites ahead for the summer peak and any jet boat tour scheduling, as the Hells Canyon excursion operators book their most popular departure times well in advance of the summer season.

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.

Wolf Lodge Campground

48 RV Sites

Wolf Lodge Campground in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is situated at Wolf Lodge Bay on the eastern arm of Lake Coeur d'Alene, one of the most spectacularly beautiful mountain lakes in the American Northwest—and the site of one of the lower 48 states' most extraordinary wildlife spectacles: the winter congregation of hundreds of bald eagles at Wolf Lodge Bay, where kokanee salmon die after spawning and the eagles gather from November through January in numbers that have established this remote lake arm as one of the premier bald eagle viewing sites in the continental United States. The campground's lake position provides the kayaking, boating, paddling, and fishing access to a lake that national travel surveys consistently rank among America's most beautiful, in a protected bay setting that the main Coeur d'Alene waterfront's development pressure does not reach. The campground's facility delivers a comfortable outdoor recreation base with the services that Kootenai County lake camping requires: kayak rentals, paddle boat rentals, boating access, canoeing and kayaking on the lake, bike rentals with biking trails nearby, fishing, dining on site, a general store, propane fills, pavilion, dog park, laundry, showers, dump station, Wi-Fi, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, horseshoes, hiking trails, and swimming in Lake Coeur d'Alene's clear water collectively serve the outdoor recreation-centered guests whose Wolf Lodge Bay stays center on the lake and the surrounding Kootenai County forest terrain. The dining facility provides the social gathering space that lake camping communities naturally develop. Lake Coeur d'Alene's 25-mile length, 109 miles of shoreline, and the clarity produced by the surrounding Idaho Panhandle National Forest's protected watershed create a lake experience that consistently ranks in national surveys of America's most beautiful bodies of water. The lake's surface reflects the forested slopes of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in a combination of mirror-calm morning light and afternoon whitecaps that makes the Wolf Lodge arm—the most protected and least developed section of the main lake—the most pristine and wildlife-abundant portion of this iconic Idaho lake. The St. Joe River's wild cutthroat trout waters and the surrounding Idaho Panhandle National Forest's trail systems extend the recreation beyond the lake. Downtown Coeur d'Alene, approximately 15 miles west of Wolf Lodge Bay via I-90, provides the resort amenities and commercial infrastructure of a year-round lake resort community—the Coeur d'Alene Resort's floating boardwalk and the lake's public beach front, the North Idaho College campus, the Sherman Avenue dining and shopping district, and the Centennial Trail's 62-mile bike path from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane collectively create the urban infrastructure that complements Wolf Lodge Bay's wild lake environment. Silverwood Theme Park in Athol and the Coeur d'Alene Casino in Worley provide the commercial entertainment complement to the natural recreation that defines the region's primary appeal. Wolf Lodge Campground operates seasonally from spring through fall for camping, with the eagle viewing season from November through January providing the most compelling natural spectacle available from the campground's location even outside the main camping season. Summer's warm lake temperatures, the June salmon fly hatch on the nearby North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, and the long northern latitude summer days that stretch outdoor recreation into the evening hours together create the campground's most active recreation season. The spring and fall shoulder periods offer the quietest lake conditions and the most uncrowded kayaking access to Wolf Lodge Bay's wildlife-rich eastern shoreline.

Crystal Gold Mine RV Park

27 RV Sites

At 51931 Silver Valley Road in Kellogg, Idaho—at an easy on-off access point from Interstate 90 in the Silver Valley where the Coeur d'Alene mining district's historic silver lode, Silver Mountain Resort's single-longest gondola ride in North America, and the Route of the Hiawatha's 15-mile rail-trail through three mountain tunnels and seven high trestles create one of the most activity-rich mountain town environments accessible from a direct I-90 exit in the northern Rockies—Crystal Gold Mine RV Park puts 14 paved full hookup sites directly adjacent to an operating underground gold mine tour. Gem mining, gold panning, the mine tour, the gondola, and the rail trail are all accessible from the same base; the 14 sites are the smallest footprint of any campground in this guide, which makes the concentration of on-property activities per site all the more remarkable. Fourteen full hookup sites on paved surfaces provide 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a big-rig-friendly, pull-through-accessible layout that the property's I-90 frontage road access makes simple to navigate with any rig configuration. Restrooms, laundry facilities, picnic tables, fire circles, grills, and a firewood vendor provide the site-level daily infrastructure. A dump station serves guests with self-contained units, and limited WiFi addresses the connectivity need. The property's immediate adjacency to the Crystal Gold Mine's underground tour facility is the defining amenity—guests can walk from the campsite to the mine entrance without driving, combining the convenience of RV infrastructure with the specific attraction of an authentic historic gold mine experience that the Silver Valley's century-plus mining heritage produced. The Crystal Gold Mine's underground tour provides the specific Coeur d'Alene mining district experience that distinguishes the Silver Valley from any other mountain I-90 corridor. The tour enters the actual mine workings through a portal in the hillside and follows the veins of ore through tunnels that working miners cut by hand and machine in the era when the Coeur d'Alene mining district was producing a disproportionate share of the world's silver output. Gem mining for crystals, minerals, and semi-precious stones at the adjacent mining area, and gold panning in the sluice boxes, provide the hands-on take-home experience that families with children specifically seek. Silver Mountain Resort's gondola—ascending 3,400 vertical feet in 18 minutes on the longest single-stage gondola in North America—provides the mountain summit access for hiking, mountain biking on the resort's trail network, and winter skiing and snowboarding. Silver Rapids indoor waterpark at the mountain base provides the waterpark alternative for guests who want aquatic recreation in the Silver Valley's mountain climate. The Route of the Hiawatha, accessible from the East Portal trailhead 15 miles east of Kellogg, provides the 15-mile downhill rail-trail experience through the tunnels and trestles of the defunct Milwaukee Road railroad corridor that cycling publications consistently rank among the top rail-trails in the Pacific Northwest. Crystal Gold Mine RV Park is open year-round in the Silver Valley's four-season climate. Summer brings the mine tour, gem mining, gondola hiking, and the Hiawatha cycling season. Winter converts Silver Mountain to one of the Pacific Northwest's finest powder ski destinations. Reserve your paved pull-through, book the mine tour for the morning after arrival, and let the Coeur d'Alene mining district earn its reputation as one of the most historically layered and recreationally varied mountain communities on Interstate 90.

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.

Warden Lake RV Resort

23 RV Sites

Warden Lake RV Resort in Warden, Washington, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites on Warden Lake with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, behind a gated entrance. Interior and exterior back-in categories join boat docks, kayak rentals, and boat storage in the Columbia Basin's high desert. Twenty-three back-in sites run in interior and exterior categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Cabin rentals round out the accommodations. Laundry, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access — and boat storage matters at a lake property where most guests arrive towing. The lake carries the recreation. Boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on the water directly, with fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all running from the property. A clubhouse and game room cover indoor hours. Pets are welcome. Warden sits in Grant County along the Columbia Basin irrigation corridor that transformed the central Washington plateau from sagebrush dryland into one of North America's most productive farming regions. The surrounding country surprises most visitors — a high desert plateau interrupted by the extraordinary geological formations of the channeled scablands, with productive wildlife terrain throughout. The resort serves the central Washington season, with summer lake recreation and fishing driving the heaviest demand. With 23 sites on a quiet lake, reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Cascade Marina & Resort

5 RV Sites

Set directly on the waterfront of Moses Lake in Washington's Columbia Basin, Cascade Marina & Resort occupies a unique position as the only property offering on-the-water gasoline access on the lake—a practical distinction that makes it an anchor destination for boaters exploring this expansive central Washington reservoir. The resort's evolution from a longtime marine repair and supply operation to a full-service campground gives the property a working waterfront character uncommon among lakeside RV parks in the Pacific Northwest. The campground provides partial hookup sites featuring water and 20, 30, and 50-amp electrical service, accommodating a range of RV types and sizes across the lakeview property. On-site boat launch facilities, moorage, covered boat storage, and boat rentals give guests full access to the water from the moment they arrive, and overflow parking ensures the property can accommodate guests traveling with boats and trailers. The combination of camping and marina services under one operation simplifies logistics for guests planning water-based stays of multiple days. Moses Lake itself is the primary natural draw, spanning more than 6,000 acres of surface water that supports powerboating, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and personal watercraft recreation across three interconnected arms of the reservoir. The lake's warm summer temperatures make it well suited for extended on-water days, and the shallow, protected coves along the eastern arms provide calmer conditions for guests new to lake boating or traveling with young children. Fishing for bass, walleye, and trout draws anglers to the lake across a long season from spring through fall. The Moses Lake area extends beyond the waterfront with several well-developed regional attractions. Surf 'n Slide Water Park provides a family-oriented water recreation option during the summer months, while the Japanese Peace Garden near downtown Moses Lake offers a contemplative counterpoint to the high-energy lake experience. Potholes State Park and Blue Heron Park provide access to additional lake frontage, sandy beaches, swimming areas, and scenic picnic grounds across the Columbia Basin landscape. Cascade Marina & Resort is most active during the summer season, when Moses Lake's warm water temperatures and long daylight hours support full days of boating and water sports. Moorage and boat storage reservations should be secured in advance for peak summer weekends, as water-access sites and covered storage fill quickly during the busy season. Guests planning longer stays on the lake will find the combination of on-site fueling, marina services, and camping hookups a well-integrated and logistically convenient setup. The Columbia Basin's agricultural plateau surrounds Moses Lake on all sides, and the lake's position in a region that receives more annual sunshine than the cloudy western Washington coast gives the resort a reliably warm and sunny summer character that supports water sports and outdoor camping well into September. Anglers pursuing bass, walleye, and trout find productive conditions across the lake's three arms, and the combination of marina services and campground hookups in one location makes the resort a logistically efficient base for extended lake stays.

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.

Kings Court RV Park

25 RV Sites

King's Court RV Park in Grand Coulee, Washington, is a 24-site full-hookup campground in the heart of eastern Washington's Grand Coulee country — minutes from the Grand Coulee Dam, Banks Lake, and Lake Roosevelt, the Columbia River reservoir that extends 150 miles behind the dam through the Columbia Highlands and the Colville Indian Reservation in one of the most geologically dramatic landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. Grand Coulee's position in Grant County's channeled scablands gives the campground its identity as the gateway to the largest hydroelectric facility in the United States by generating capacity, a dam so massive that its construction in the 1930s and 1940s transformed the Columbia Plateau's agricultural economy and the Pacific Northwest's electrical grid simultaneously. Twenty-four full-hookup RV sites with the convenient location near Grand Coulee Dam, Banks Lake, and Lake Roosevelt give guests the complete practical base for the eastern Washington reservoir and coulée country that this specific section of the Columbia Plateau delivers in its most concentrated form. The campground's Grand Coulee position gives guests the walking-distance or short-drive access to the dam's visitor center and laser light show that the summer evening Laser Light Show program — projected on the dam face and representing the largest laser light show in the United States — makes a signature experience for dam country visitors. Pets are welcome. Grand Coulee Dam, the largest concrete structure in the United States when it was completed in 1942, generates 6,809 megawatts at maximum capacity from its powerhouses on the Columbia River in a structure 550 feet tall and 5,223 feet wide — a scale that the dam's visitor center and the overlook viewpoints only partially convey, since the dam's full height and the volume of Columbia River water it impounds in Lake Roosevelt require the aerial perspective of a flight or a viewpoint well removed from the dam face itself to register in full. The Bureau of Reclamation's guided tours into the powerhouse interior give guests the specific scale of the individual generators whose capacity surpasses that of most state electrical grids individually. Banks Lake, immediately south of the dam on the Grand Coulee's floor, is the reservoir that delivers Columbia River irrigation water to the Columbia Basin Project's million-acre agricultural district — a reservoir whose 27-mile length and the basalt coulée walls above it create a water recreation environment of striking visual character. Walleye and bass fishing in Banks Lake sustains a tournament fishing economy, and the Steamboat Rock State Park at the lake's north end provides the dramatic basalt fortress formation hiking and swimming beach access that give Banks Lake's public land recreation its most concentrated quality. King's Court RV Park serves guests through the eastern Washington touring season with the summer months from May through September providing the most reliably warm weather for reservoir recreation and the Grand Coulee Laser Light Show's full summer programming. The Columbia Plateau's July and August temperatures can be hot by western Washington standards but the low humidity and the reservoir water recreation make the high-desert summer manageable for guests acclimated to eastern states' summer heat. Reserve sites ahead for the summer laser show season and July 4th weekend, when the Grand Coulee Dam area fills with visitors from the Puget Sound metro who make the eastern Washington summer trip specifically for the dam's combination of engineering marvel and outdoor recreation.

Smokiam RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 46 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites, 1 Cottage, 10 Tipis

Smokiam RV Resort sits on the shore of Soap Lake in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, a mineral-rich body of water so geochemically unique that it ranks as one of only two lakes of its kind in the world. The soap lake campground sits at the edge of waters that the region's Indigenous peoples and early settlers regarded as having healing properties—a reputation supported by the lake's extraordinarily diverse mineral content, which includes sodium, magnesium, sulfate, and carbonate compounds in concentrations that give the water its characteristic feel and the lake its name. The resort delivers a full amenity package centered on the lake's distinctive character: 900 feet of sandy beach, a pool, two mineral spas, a European steam sauna, and a dock with canoe, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard rentals give guests multiple entry points into the Soap Lake experience. A renovated playground, sport court, and miniature golf course provide recreation for guests who prefer to stay on shore. A beverage bar and espresso café are available in the renovated clubhouse, and the resort offers a range of accommodations from full-hookup RV sites to luxurious new log cabin rentals and tepee rentals for guests who want the most distinctive overnight option in the Columbia Basin. High-speed WiFi, restrooms, showers, and laundry round out the practical amenities. Soap Lake is the southernmost of a chain of lakes occupying the Grand Coulee, a massive glacially-carved canyon that runs through the Columbia Basin—a landscape shaped by the Missoula Floods, the largest known floods in Earth's history. The coulees, lakes, and basalt cliff formations of this region are among the most dramatic post-glacial landscapes in North America, and the geology underfoot at Smokiam RV Resort tells part of that enormous story. The lake's mineral concentration has naturally increased over millennia as water evaporates and minerals accumulate without an outlet, creating the chemistry that defines its therapeutic reputation. Dry Falls, about 20 miles north, is one of the great geological wonders of North America—a 3.5-mile-wide, 400-foot-tall waterfall remnant from the Ice Age floods that once carried ten times the combined flow of all the world's current rivers. The Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park that surrounds it provides camping, hiking, and additional lakes for swimming and fishing in a landscape that is simultaneously beautiful and geologically humbling. Grand Coulee Dam, one of the largest concrete structures ever built and the most powerful hydroelectric facility in the United States, is about 45 minutes north and offers tours of its extraordinary infrastructure. Banks Lake, created by the dam as a pumped irrigation reservoir, provides water skiing, fishing, and boating in a dramatic basalt canyon setting. Smokiam RV Resort operates through the Columbia Basin camping season, with the dry, sunny summers of central Washington delivering reliable warm weather from May through September. The mineral lake's soaking pools and beach draw visitors seeking the therapeutic experience year-round, and the fall hunting season brings additional guests to the Columbia Basin. The combination of Soap Lake's genuinely unique geochemistry, the resort's expanding amenity set, and easy access to Dry Falls and the Grand Coulee makes Smokiam one of the more distinctive camping destinations in eastern Washington.

Driftwood RV Resort - Boardman

110 RV Sites

Driftwood RV Resort in Boardman, Oregon, offers 110 full-hookup pull-through RV sites two miles from the Columbia River, with 30 and 50-amp service. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a laundry, showers, playground, and dog park in the high desert river corridor. One hundred ten sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. A single-category, all-pull-through layout is genuinely practical for a highway park — no backing after a long driving day, no guessing about what you booked, and every guest gets the same spec. Confirm length limits with the resort for your rig. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with boating nearby and productive birding along the river corridor. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which suits a property built as a comfortable overnight and extended-stay base rather than a destination. Pets are welcome. Boardman sits where the Columbia carves through the eastern Cascade rain shadow — a stretch that trades the basalt gorge scenery of the western Columbia River Gorge for a wider, windier, agriculturally intensive landscape with its own character. The SAGE Center in town focuses on sustainable agriculture and energy and serves as an official Oregon Welcome Center, and the Columbia River Heritage Trail offers scenic biking along the water. Demand runs steadily on I-84 traffic and agricultural work stays rather than a tourist season. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable high desert conditions. Reserve ahead for holiday travel, and ask about monthly rates.

Lolo Hot Springs RV Park

37 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 40 Tent Sites

Lolo Hot Springs RV Park in Lolo, Montana, offers 37 RV sites, 16 cabins, and 40 tent sites at a natural geothermal hot spring on the Montana-Idaho border, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Open all year, with the hot spring pools, a bar, on-site dining, and a disc golf course behind a gated entrance. Thirty-seven sites carry water and electric on 30-amp and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Sixteen cabins and 40 tent sites round out the accommodations, making this unusually tent-friendly. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. The hot springs are the signature. Natural thermal pools — the same springs the Lewis and Clark Expedition recorded in September 1805 — feed the resort's soaking facilities, with an outdoor pool alongside. A bar, on-site dining, billiards, an arcade, and live music fill the evenings, with a disc golf course, walking trails, and picnicking outdoors. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Lolo sits in Missoula County at Lolo Pass, gateway to the Clearwater National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness on the historic Nez Perce trail route through the Bitterroots. The US-12 corridor between Missoula and Idaho's Clearwater Country runs past the door. Year-round operation makes the hot springs a genuine four-season draw, with winter soaking a real attraction. Summer highway traffic is the peak — reserve ahead.
