Goose Creek RV Park & Campground

19 RV Sites

Goose Creek RV Park & Campground in Wilbur, WA, offers 19 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come as back-in 30/50-amp and pull-thru 30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table. The park is open all year.

Check-in runs 2pm to 6pm with no arrivals after 9pm, and checkout is 11am — worth planning your driving day around. The grounds are quiet by design, with creek frontage, picnicking, birding, and the kind of dark sky the Columbia Plateau delivers reliably. Golf, a lake, and a casino are nearby. Wilbur sits in the Big Bend country of north-central Washington, just under 19 miles from Lake Roosevelt and the Grand Coulee Dam. Rates and availability are on the booking page.

Genesis Mountain Farm

6 Glamping Sites

Genesis Mountain Farm in Sandpoint, Idaho, occupies a spectacular setting in Bonner County's Selkirk Mountain foothills above the Pend Oreille River valley, offering a distinctive farm-stay and event venue camping experience on a working mountain property where the forested Selkirk Range, a tributary creek, and the sweeping views characteristic of northern Idaho's lake-and-mountain country create the backdrop for hiking, biking, birding, and the stargazing made possible by Bonner County's genuinely dark skies. Positioned near one of the American Northwest's most beautiful small resort towns, the farm welcomes guests year-round in a natural setting of rare quality. Genesis Mountain Farm's accommodations lean toward the experiential and intimate—a dining experience, showers, bathrooms, and immersion in the working mountain farm property's natural character define the stay rather than resort-scale amenity infrastructure. The property's mountain, river and creek access, and forested terrain provide the primary recreation, supplemented by planned activities, hiking and biking trails through the surrounding Selkirk foothills, and the boating and off-roading opportunities accessible from the farm's Bonner County location. The wedding venue function of the property reflects the setting's natural beauty and its appeal to couples seeking an outdoor celebration in northern Idaho's dramatically scenic mountain environment. Sandpoint, a short drive from the farm, is consistently ranked among the most beautiful small towns in the American Northwest—a community of 8,000 on the northern shores of Lake Pend Oreille, one of the deepest and most scenic lakes in the United States at 43 miles long and up to 1,150 feet deep. The town's Cedar Street Bridge public market, First Avenue's independent restaurant and retail district, and the performing arts culture of the Panida Theater create a cultural vibrancy unusual in a city of Sandpoint's size, and the surrounding Selkirk and Cabinet mountain ranges provide four-season outdoor recreation of genuinely exceptional quality. Lake Pend Oreille's cold, deep waters support a remarkable fishery including trophy-sized lake trout, bull trout, and the Gerrard rainbow trout strain introduced from British Columbia that regularly produces fish exceeding 30 pounds—among the largest wild rainbow trout in North America. Schweitzer Mountain Resort above Sandpoint operates one of the Pacific Northwest's largest and most underrated ski areas, with 2,900 acres of skiable terrain and the Lake Pend Oreille views from the summit providing a visual setting that rival resorts in more commercially prominent destinations cannot match. The Cabinet Mountains Wilderness and Selkirk Mountains backcountry extend the hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the Bonner County landscape. Genesis Mountain Farm operates year-round in northern Idaho's four-season climate, where the Selkirk foothills' elevation and Sandpoint's lake-moderated microclimate create winter snowpack for skiing, spring wildflower seasons across the mountain meadows, summer hiking and water recreation, and the spectacular fall foliage display that colors the Pend Oreille valley's mixed conifer and hardwood forest through October. The farm's year-round openness and wedding venue calendar serve guests across every season, and the Schweitzer Mountain ski season from November through April creates a distinct winter recreation demand from skiers seeking a base camp above the lake in Sandpoint's immediate vicinity.

Port Angeles sits at 191 Old Deer Park Road on the Olympic Peninsula's north shore, the gateway to Olympic National Park's three distinct ecosystems, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Vancouver Island. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Peak season on the peninsula books out well ahead — reserve early for summer.

Rest in Peace RV Park

Rest in Peace RV Park in Sagle, ID, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available, along with ADA-accessible sites. The park is rated big rig friendly, and laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a dump station cover the essentials. Contact the park directly for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here — worth a call before you commit a long coach. An outdoor pool, sport courts, volleyball, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a lake nearby for boating, paddling, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing, plus hiking, biking, off-road riding, and stargazing. Pets are welcome, with a dog park, and golf is close. Sagle sits in Bonner County on US-95, ten miles south of Sandpoint, beside Lake Pend Oreille — 148 square miles of water more than a thousand feet deep, ringed by the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains, with Schweitzer Mountain above.

Elwha RV Park

51 RV Sites

Elwha RV Park in Port Angeles, Washington, offers 50 RV sites alongside the Elwha River, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Seven distinct categories — including big rig and narrow pull-throughs, private back-ins, and pull-ins — sit behind a gated entrance, open all year at the gateway to Olympic National Park. Fifty sites span 30-amp water-and-electric back-ins, big rig 30/50-amp pull-throughs, narrow 30/50-amp pull-throughs, private and standard 30-amp back-ins, and pull-in sites, all carrying full hookups where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, RV storage, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a concierge handle the practical side, with WiFi and recycling throughout. The park is open year-round. On-site recreation is broad: a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, a pond, and bike rentals, with a community fire pit for evenings and live music through the season. Mountain biking, hiking, birding, and stargazing all run from the area, with skiing, snowboarding, boating, and a casino nearby. Pets are welcome. The Elwha is the site of the largest dam removal in US history — the 2012 removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams reopened 70 miles of salmon and steelhead habitat, and the river's recovery is ongoing. Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, and the Hoh Rainforest are all within reach. Directions: from Port Angeles take US-101 west to the Highway 112 junction, follow 112 about half a mile to the sign, then left onto Lower Dam Road.

Dawley's Solduc River Campground

34 Tent Sites

Dawley's Sol Duc River Campground in Beaver, WA, offers riverside campsites and 34 tent sites, with a picnic table, grill, and table umbrella at every site. Sites are back-ins, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Each comes with a fire pit and barbecue. Be clear on what this is before booking: these are $35-a-night riverbank campsites rather than a full-hookup RV park, so come self-contained and confirm what service your site has when you reserve. Firewood is available and pets are welcome. The Sol Duc runs along the property with a boat ramp, walking trails, and river access for fishing, swimming, kayaking, boating, birding, and picnicking. The night sky here is genuinely dark. Beaver sits in the Clallam County wilderness of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, on the Sol Duc River — one of the most diverse and accessible wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest, with Olympic National Park, the coast, and Lake Crescent all within reach. Wine tasting is nearby. Rates are posted at $35 per night. Confirm your site type and any hookups directly with the campground before you arrive.
