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.

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.

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.

from $49/night

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.

from $26/night

Black Beach Resort

53 RV Sites, 14 Cabins

Black Beach Resort in Republic, WA, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. Sites are back-ins and the resort is rated big rig friendly. Contact them for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and cabins cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. The lakefront is the draw: a beach, boat docks, sport courts, volleyball, a playground, and walking trails, with swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, water sports, fishing, hiking, biking, and picnicking on Curlew Lake. Republic sits on the southwestern shore of Curlew Lake in Ferry County, in the Okanogan Highlands where the Kettle River Range's forested ridges meet the 1.1 million acres of the Colville National Forest. The Sherman Pass Scenic Byway crosses just south — the highest maintained pass in Washington. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Call ahead to confirm your rig's fit; this corner of Washington is remote enough that arriving to a surprise is costly.

Smokiam RV Resort

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

Smokiam RV Resort in Soap Lake, WA, offers 42 full-hookup RV sites, 2 cabin and cottage rentals, 46 tent sites, and 14 glamping and tipi sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are labeled by service and length, which takes the guesswork out of booking: 30-amp water/electric/sewer at 30 feet, 50/30-amp at 43 feet, premium 50-amp at 45 feet, and premium 50-amp sites with a private hot tub at 45 feet. All carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a community fire pit round it out, and pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, mini-golf, a clubhouse, sport courts, basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, and corn hole fill the grounds, and a beach with kayak and boat rentals puts guests onto the water for swimming, boating, and paddling. Soap Lake sits in the Columbia Basin of central Washington, a mineral-rich lake of a type found in only one other place in the world, with Dry Falls, Steamboat Rock, and Banks Lake nearby. Rates for every site type are on the booking page. The hot tub sites are limited and go first.

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.

Outback Montana RV Park and Campground

Outback Montana RV Park and Campground in Bigfork, Montana, provides a full-service camping base in one of the most spectacularly positioned communities in the American West, where the eastern shore of Flathead Lake—the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States—meets the Swan Mountain Range's forested ridgelines just 50 miles south of Glacier National Park's western entrance in a landscape of crystalline water, grizzly bear wilderness, and the small-resort-town character that makes Bigfork a beloved destination for Montana travelers seeking both outdoor recreation excellence and the local arts and cultural scene that distinguishes Bigfork from the purely utilitarian gateway communities surrounding Glacier. The park's facility serves the outdoor recreation visitor who needs reliable infrastructure alongside the natural surroundings that define Bigfork's appeal: full hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, dining, a playground, boutique shop, firewood, Wi-Fi, dump station, and the pet-friendly policy that Montana outdoor recreation visitors require for their hiking dogs provide the practical and experiential amenities for extended stays in Flathead Lake's eastern shore community. The planned activities programming connects guests with the area's seasonal recreation opportunities, and the national park proximity ensures that the campground serves as a de facto Glacier basecamp for visitors who find Bigfork's small-town character and Flathead Lake's recreational resources a compelling alternative to the crowded West Glacier gateway. Bigfork's position on Flathead Lake provides immediate access to the lake's cherry orchards—a microclimate created by the lake's thermal mass produces cherry-growing conditions unique in Montana, and the summer cherry harvest at the working orchards lining the east shore creates one of the most distinctive agricultural experiences available in a Montana lake community. The Swan River's outlet from Flathead Lake through Bigfork provides a short but productive stretch of whitewater and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse's professional theater season creates a performing arts experience of genuine quality that has operated continuously since 1960 in one of the American West's most established rural theater traditions. Glacier National Park's western entrances at West Glacier and Apgar provide access to the Going-to-the-Sun Road—the 50-mile scenic highway that traverses the Continental Divide through the park's most dramatic glacier-carved scenery in a drive consistently rated among the most spectacular in the world. The park's 700 miles of hiking trails access the glacial lakes, wildflower meadows, and the grizzly bear and mountain goat habitat of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem in a wilderness experience of the highest quality. Bob Marshall Wilderness, the largest undeveloped wilderness in the continental United States outside Alaska, lies immediately south of the park in a contiguous protected landscape of over one million acres. Outback Montana RV Park operates seasonally from spring through fall in the Flathead Valley's mountain climate, with the peak summer season from July through August driving maximum demand for both Flathead Lake recreation and Glacier National Park visitation when the Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open and the park's trail network is snow-free. The Logan Pass wildflower meadows peak in late July and early August, creating the most intensely competitive reservation period for Glacier-area accommodations, and guests targeting this window should book several months in advance as Bigfork's limited campground inventory fills quickly. Fall's October foliage and the quieting of summer crowds provides a compelling alternative season for guests who accept some trail closures in exchange for dramatically reduced competition.

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.

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.

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.

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.
