Sumpter RV Park

26 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

At the foot of the majestic Elkhorn Mountain Range in Oregon's gold country, Sumpter RV Park serves as a historic gateway to the scenery, adventure, and remarkable frontier history that have made the Sumpter Valley one of eastern Oregon's most compelling destinations. The park offers full hookups at 30 and 50 amp service alongside WiFi, laundry facilities, and a general store stocked with supplies and propane, creating a complete base camp for exploring the mining camps, mountain trails, and high desert landscapes that surround this small Gold Rush town. In winter, the property transforms into a launch point for more than 350 miles of groomed snowmobile trails threading through the Elkhorn peaks. Sites come equipped with hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, and guests can rent fire pits for classic campfire evenings in the thin, clear air of eastern Oregon's mountains. The camp store carries supplies, snacks, and small detergent boxes for the laundry room, while the park's BBQ area and yard games—cornhole, darts, and more—provide social gathering points between explorations. The surrounding landscape invites active engagement year-round: gold panning in Sumpter's creek drainages, ATV riding on the area's designated trail network, and hiking into the high granite peaks of the Elkhorn Range keep guests busy regardless of season. Sumpter itself is a small, well-preserved town with the bones of its Gold Rush past visible at every turn—historic storefronts, mining-era buildings, and the rusting machinery of a century-old industry give it an atmospheric authenticity that living history museums can only approximate. The Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area, right in town, preserves the last of three massive floating gold dredges that worked the Powder River bottomlands between 1913 and 1954, leaving behind the ghostly landscape of tailing piles and settling ponds that define the valley floor. Cracker Creek Mining Camp offers hands-on gold panning experiences for visitors who want to feel a little of the original fever. The Sumpter Valley Railroad, a narrow-gauge heritage railroad operating vintage steam and diesel equipment on restored trackage, runs excursions between Sumpter and McEwen during the summer months—a genuinely evocative way to experience the valley that once connected the mining towns to the smelters of Baker City. Baker City itself, 30 miles east, houses the outstanding Oregon Trail Interpretive Center documenting the emigrant experience on one of history's most consequential migrations. The Elkhorn Mountains, rising to over 9,000 feet above Sumpter, offer summer hiking and fall hunting for elk and mule deer in terrain that sees far fewer visitors than the Cascades to the west. Sumpter's peak season runs June through September, when the mountain wildflowers bloom, the railroad runs, and the dredge grounds are accessible. Summer temperatures at elevation are cool and pleasant—Sumpter sits at 4,500 feet, and even July nights invite a jacket. Fall delivers the hunting season and the first frosts that turn the aspen groves gold before the snow comes. Winter snowmobile riders find Sumpter's position at the trailhead ideal. Reserve your site at Sumpter RV Park and step into a corner of Oregon history that most travelers never discover.

Rivers Edge RV Park

At 28522 Lower Pleasant Ridge Road on the Snake River in Wilder, Idaho—in Canyon County in the agricultural heart of the Treasure Valley where the Snake River Plain's basalt terrain, the Owyhee Mountains' volcanic skyline, and the irrigated agriculture that the Snake River Project's century-old canal system established have created the specific high-desert agricultural landscape that Idaho's wine country, bird hunting, and the canyon reservoir fishing build their regional identity around—Rivers Edge RV Park provides 22 full hookup sites up to 60 feet, cabin rentals, a boat launch, a river dock, horseshoe pits, laundry, showers, and acres of shade and grass on the Snake River's Canyon County reach in the family-operated campground that the Catfish Tournament, the Airstream Rally, and the spring and summer fishing events make a community anchor for the southwest Idaho outdoor recreation calendar. The Snake River frontage, the boat launch, and the river dock together constitute the water access infrastructure that defines Rivers Edge's recreational character. Twenty-two full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer in pull-through configurations accommodating rigs up to 60 feet provide the RV infrastructure along the Snake River's Canyon County shore. Cabin rentals serve the guests without RV equipment who want the Snake River access in an enclosed accommodation. A boat launch and river dock provide the motorized and fishing watercraft access to the Snake River that the campground's bank position makes the most functionally direct private launch in the Wilder-to-Nampa river corridor. Horseshoe pits provide the organized outdoor recreation alongside the river. Laundry facilities and modern showers serve the practical extended-stay requirements. Fire pits and picnic tables at sites provide the outdoor living setup. The campground's acres of shade-tree canopy and grass create the green, mature environment that the Snake River Plain's otherwise dry basalt and sagebrush character makes particularly welcome at a riverside campground that has had the time to grow a significant tree canopy. The Snake River along the campground provides the catfish, bass, and warmwater species fishing that the Snake River Plain's agricultural irrigation return flow and the river's naturally productive warmwater habitat creates across the Canyon County reach. The Snake River's Catfish Tournament—hosted at Rivers Edge—draws the Treasure Valley's catfish fishing community to a structured competition on the campground's home water. Channel catfish, flathead catfish, and white sturgeon are the three species the Snake River's Canyon County reach most reliably produces. Bruneau Dunes State Park—70 miles southeast—contains the tallest single-structured sand dune in North America at 470 feet, rising from the Snake River Plain's basalt floor in the geological anomaly that sand deposit accumulation in a bowl-shaped basin creates when the surrounding wind directions cancel each other rather than migrating the dune. The park's observatory, operating on Thursday through Saturday evenings from March through November, provides the public astronomy programming that the high desert's dark sky makes particularly productive for public stargazing. Lake Lowell—the Bureau of Reclamation reservoir within Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge—provides the bald eagle and waterfowl viewing and the warm-water fishing that Canyon County's premier reservoir supports year-round. Rivers Edge RV Park is open year-round in the Treasure Valley's high-desert climate. Spring and early summer represent the most active Snake River catfish season. The Catfish Tournament and Airstream Rally provide the organized event calendar. Reserve the river-view site early for summer fishing weekends, bring the rod to the dock, and let the Snake River's Canyon County reach earn the southwest Idaho campground experience that the Treasure Valley's agricultural heart and volcanic skyline make geologically and culturally specific to this particular part of Idaho.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Imperial River Co.

27 RV Sites

Imperial River Co. in Maupin, Oregon, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites directly on the banks of the Deschutes River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Riverfront back-in and river view pull-through categories put guests on the water rather than near it, with a boat ramp, docks, a bar, and on-site dining. Twenty-seven sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in riverfront back-in and river view pull-through configurations, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and site WiFi handle the practical side. When leaving the park, follow the directional signs slowly toward the exit without crowding, and proceed with caution to Bakeoven Road — depending on water level, you have two route options, one of which crosses the bridge. The river is the property's identity. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access for whitewater rafting, fishing, and boating, with a community fire pit, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, picnicking, and biking on the grounds. A bar, on-site dining, and a library round out the property, with planned activities through the season and strong birding along the canyon. Pets are welcome. Maupin sits on US-197 at the most active commercial whitewater and fishing section of the lower Deschutes — Oregon's most celebrated whitewater and fly fishing river, with 100 miles of canyon carrying Class III and IV rapids and a wild steelhead and rainbow trout fishery. Summer rafting season and the steelhead run drive demand. Reserve well ahead, and request a riverfront site early.
