Campsite: Liberty Lake RV Campground

This campground is more of a resort than a campground, but we decided to splurge a little bit as a part of our longer journey to Flathead Lake, Montana. Our stay here covered four days, and it was trouble free.

The park is easy to find, being right off I-90 in Liberty Lake, Washington, just a few miles east of Spokane, and just west of the Idaho border. From westbound I-90, it’s almost a straight shot to the campground, with the only turn being a left into the park itself. On entering the park, the office is on the left with two staging spaces on the right. The staging spaces are a little short if you’re driving a 40-foot motorhome and towing a Jeep behind, but we had no issues pulling in. The Jeep just hangs out a bit in the back.

While the Liberty Lake RV Campground may be a little spendy ($74/night with discount), if your going to be in the Spokane Valley area for more than a day or two, I’d recommend it be placed high on your list. The friendly staff, clean and well-maintained facilities, and the proximity to services (fuel, restaurants, etc) make this campground a great place to stay.

Campsite: Four Seasons Campground & Resort

We stopped here for an overnight on the way back home, just to break up the trip. I think this is a hidden gem, and we were pleasantly surprised.

My better half is an avid birder, and there is a ton of great birdwatching going on here. We were able to spot a good variety of avians here:

Yellow-headed blackbirds

Seagulls

Sparrows

Plain ol’ blackbirds

the odd Hawk

Pelicans

The park is situated at the end of a rough dirt road, but the bumps along the way are worth it. Pulling into the park, check-in was pretty straightforward, and you’ll find no electronics here. Everything is done the old-fashioned way, with paper, pencil and cash. Note: be sure to bring cash, as they don’t accept checks or credit cards. There is a small store selection with the essentials such as canned goods, aspirin, firewood, etc. The park hosts are the friendly sort, and even lent us their binoculars when ours met an unfortunate situation.

Four Seasons Campground and Resort is good no-frills stopover as part of a long trip. There is a boat launch available as well, so if you are an angler, you might be interested in staying here a few extra days to get in a bit of fishing on Sprague Lake. The only downside is the 7.5 miles of unpaved washboard to get there. Take it slow and easy (about 10 mph), and you should be fine, though.

Campsite: Suncrest RV Park

uilt on the site of a former water park, this campground makes for a good stopping point as part of a longer journey. We stayed here overnight, as part of a longer journey.

Upon pulling into the park, it was easy to discern the staging lanes, right in front of the office. During this time of COVID, the staff has made it easy to perform a no-contact check-in. Simply look in the box on the wall, next to the office door, for an envelope with your name on it, and you’ll find your site number, as well as information about the campground and some local attractions.

Finding our site was relatively easy, since it was near the front of the park. We did have to drive to the mid-point of the park, then double back on the parallel road, but not a deal breaker. This kind of “flip-around” is kind of expected when you are using a pull-through site.

Not a bad place to stop for an overnighter as a part of a longer journey, if you can live without wifi. If you would like to stay here longer, I’d caution to make your stay towards early- to mid-spring, or late fall. The weather in Moses Lake is HOT during the summer. Not a fault of the campground of course. Just a tip.
