Smiley Creek Lodge

6 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 2 Yurts

Smiley Creek Lodge in Blaine County, Idaho, offers six full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, alongside seven cabins and two yurts on the Sawtooth Scenic Byway. A lake, beach, and general store serve guests near Sun Valley and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp service, sized to 40 feet — note that all sites are 50-amp, and the 40-foot cap suits mid-size rigs rather than the largest coaches. Seven cabins and two yurts round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. With six RV sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. A lake and creek run near the property with a beach for swimming, and canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing all available. Hiking, biking, and stargazing run from the site, with a playground for families and live music through the season. Wine and beer tasting is nearby. The byway position is the advantage. This is one of the most scenically extraordinary mountain routes in the American West, where the Wood River Valley's cottonwood corridors open into the granite peaks and alpine lakes of the Sawtooths. The lodge gives the most direct access to the Sawtooth Wilderness trail network and the Stanley Basin's fly fishing on the upper Salmon. Directions: from the north, drive 22 miles south from Stanley on Highway 75; from the south, 37 miles north from Ketchum. Summer is the season at this elevation. Reserve well ahead.

Ekstroms Stage Station

26 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Ekstroms Stage Station in Clinton, MT, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in 20-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50-amp — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, on-site dining, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Creek frontage runs the property, with volleyball, basketball, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding. Clinton sits where Rock Creek gathers itself before meeting the Clark Fork — a confluence every Montana fly fisherman knows by name — about 20 minutes east of Missoula. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rock Creek's salmonfly hatch in late spring is the busiest stretch of the year here, so reserve well ahead.

Wolf Lodge Campground

48 RV Sites

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

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.

Boulder Creek Lodge

9 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites, 2 Tipis, 1 Wagon

Boulder Creek Lodge in Maxville, Montana, offers nine full-hookup pull-through RV sites, 10 cabins, two tent sites, and three tipi and wagon accommodations in the Flint Creek Valley, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. The range of lodging formats is the property's distinguishing feature. Nine pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet. Ten cabins, a Conestoga wagon, a tipi, and two tent sites round out the accommodations, which lets the lodge serve couples wanting a tipi stay and RV travelers needing hookups from the same property. A boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. A game room, community fire pit, playground, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a creek running the property and horseshoes and live music through the season. Pets are welcome. Maxville sits in Granite County between Missoula and Philipsburg, in southwest Montana's mountain country. The Flint Creek Valley is unusually rich in accessible adventure, and the local attractions reward exploring beyond the standard Montana national park circuit: Montana Gems and Gem Mountain for sapphire digging, the Sweet Palace candy store in Philipsburg, Garnet Ghost Town, and the Philipsburg Brewing Company are all close. The lodge serves the Montana season, with summer driving the heaviest demand across the mountain corridor and fall bringing quieter conditions and color in the valley. With nine RV sites and a small cabin count, 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.
