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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ideal Acres RV

Ideal Acres RV in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, offers full-hookup pull-through RV sites with water, sewer, and electric and ADA-accessible sites, in the broad Kootenai River valley beneath the Selkirk Mountains. Fire pits and picnic tables sit at the sites, minutes from downtown at 4924 Idaho Highway 1. Full-hookup pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric with fire pits and picnic tables at every site, and accessible sites are available for guests who need them. Pulling through means no backing after a long day on Highway 1 and no unhitching for an overnight. The amenity set is deliberately minimal — what the park offers is a clean, level full-hookup site with the utilities working properly, in a genuinely beautiful valley, at a price that reflects the absence of resort programming. Guests who want a pool and a game room should look elsewhere; guests who want a well-run site and quiet will find exactly that. Picnicking runs from the grounds. Pets are welcome. The setting is the offering. The Kootenai River valley opens wide beneath the Selkirks, at the edge of one of the Pacific Northwest's most pristine and least-crowded landscapes. This is the far northern Idaho Panhandle, where the mountains close in and the traffic thins out. Bonners Ferry sits just miles from the Canadian border, which makes the park well positioned for travelers pushing north or using the valley as a base for extended exploration. Downtown is minutes away with groceries, restaurants, and the small-town Idaho warmth that rounds out a road trip stop — genuinely useful when the next town of any size is a long way off. The park serves the northern Idaho season. Summer draws the heaviest traffic through the Panhandle, with fall bringing quieter conditions and color in the valley. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

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.

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.

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.

Curlew RV Park

21 RV Sites

Curlew RV Park in Curlew, Washington, offers 21 RV sites on 10 acres overlooking the Kettle River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet. Four categories cover full-hookup back-ins, water-and-electric back-ins, pull-throughs, and tree view back-ins, with an outdoor pool, beach, and clubhouse near the Canadian border. Twenty-one sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp across back-in, water-and-electric back-in, pull-through, and tree view back-in categories, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits. Seasonal restrooms and showers, laundry, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. Two booking notes: monthly rates apply to reservations starting on the first of the month and may vary otherwise, and you can pay by cash or check to avoid card processing fees. An outdoor pool and a beach anchor the recreation, with the Kettle River offering swimming and floating directly from the property. A playground serves families, and boating, birding, and biking run from the area. A stage and gazebo host the annual Kettle River Music Festival and the community events that give this small ranching and farming town an outsized social calendar. The northern lights are visible here during geomagnetic events, across a genuinely dark Ferry County sky. Pets are welcome. Curlew sits in Ferry County's northeastern corner near the Canadian border, where the Okanogan Highlands' ponderosa pine forests meet the upper Kettle watershed's river country. The park runs the Inland Northwest season. Summer river recreation and the music festival drive peak demand — reserve ahead for festival weekends.

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.

Margie's Riverside RV Park

34 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Margie's Riverside RV Park in Riverside, Washington, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites on the Okanogan River, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. All RV sites are pull-through — a real convenience for travelers on the State Route 20 corridor — with laundry, showers, and a community fire pit on site. Thirty-four pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 40 feet, in full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations. Five tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, laundry, and WiFi handle longer stays. Two vehicles are permitted per site; additional vehicles are charged $5 per night on arrival. Note the 40-foot limit and 30-amp service before booking a larger rig. The river frontage is the setting. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, horseshoes fill the on-site recreation, and boating is available nearby. This is a quiet riverside park rather than a resort — the cottonwood gallery forest along the bank and the sound of moving water are the amenities. Pets are welcome. Riverside sits in the Okanogan Valley of north-central Washington, between the arid valley floor's apple and cherry orchards and the forested highlands of the Okanogan National Forest. The State Route 20 North Cascades Highway corridor runs from here into the mountains, and the Methow Valley's outdoor recreation programming is accessible along the river corridor. The park serves both through-travelers on the North Cascades route and guests staying for the valley's orchard season and outdoor recreation. Summer is peak, and the North Cascades Highway's seasonal closure shapes traffic — check the pass status when planning a shoulder-season trip.
