Dragoon Creek Campground was a terrific spot for me to spend the night. If anyone's looking for a…read morenice, clean and quiet campground right off the main road of highway 395...I highly recommend coming here! I found Dragoon Creek through my trusty little camping app called CAMPENDIUM. I also absolutely recommend for those hikers, campers and adventurers who enjoy getting outdoors and pitching their tents while exploring the beautiful parks in the Pacific Northwest....then Campendium is simply the best app on your phone to find campgrounds. Dragoon Creek is located 18 miles north of downtown Spokane, Washington. This was the perfect stopping place for me as I was ultimately heading 250 miles northwest towards North Cascades National Park to explore over there for a few days. I had read on Campendium that it was free to camp at Dragoon Creek for the night as long as you had a Washington Discover Pass. I had no clue what a Washington Discover Pass was and I didn't even know how to find one. When I finally arrived here the Camp Host greeted me by the front gate. He told me I could pick up this Discover Pass at the local Chevron gas station about 5 miles down the road in the town of Deer Park. This was not a problem for me. When I arrived at Chevron, they had plenty of passes. It was $12 to buy a pass for the night. Though they mentioned that for an entire years worth....it was only $30 and this Washington Discover Pass was accepted at plenty of campgrounds located all over Washington state. The pass was especially handy when I visited Olympic National Park with a variety campgrounds to tent around there. So, I happily paid the $30 and while I was at Chevron I picked up a few snacks for the evening. Returning to Dragoon Creek...there were 23 campsites to choose from. The Camp Host told me to pick an unoccupied spot and I was good to go! I think for me...best of all...the campground was set right within the forest with lots of space between campsites. There were picnic tables and fire pits for barbecuing. Summing it all up...Dragoon Creek exuded the absolute PERFECT AMBIANCE AND SETTING for taking it easy and relaxing in the woods. I couldn't have picked a better place. Thank you Campendium, lol! I set up my tent on a relatively healthy patch of grass (not on hard dirt) that was more than suitable and comfortable for sleeping at night. The surroundings were so quaint and pleasant for camping...I gladly snapped some pictures to remember this place. In all, I was just very shocked that I visited here on a random Tuesday over the summertime in the month of August and Dragoon Creek was empty! More than half the campsites were not even filled. I'm surprised by this because I felt the conditions here were ideal. The Camp Host did mention that over weekends, they get much busier. One big point also, I had cell phone reception...which I much appreciated. And...there was a sign saying the gates to Dragoon Creek closed from 9pm - 7am...so you certainly don't get any late night stragglers that are loud and noisy while you're already settled and trying to enjoy the evening. There were porter potties for bathroom use...but they were some of the most well maintained I have seen over my travels. I can't say enough good things about Dragoon Creek. They even had a little walkway path to a stream that I found quite refreshing. If you're in this Spokane area...come to Dragoon Creek Campground. What a hidden gem and I happily give 5 stars.

The highway isn't too heavily traveled, so the sites are fairly quiet, with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Tables, BBQ grills and fire rings...plus very clean vault toilets and running water. Being in view of the highway, the sites don't feel very secluded or private -- but that is more than made up for by the fact that directly across the highway is a little all-natural sandy-bottomed hot spring, right on the banks of the Payette River. As far as I know you can soak any time, day or night, in a little rectangular pool that used to be part of a bathhouse or something back in the day. We walked over from our campsite after dark, and hiked down for a very relaxing soak. This place is not hardcore, remote or rugged....but I still give it 5 stars because it's clean, beautiful and EASY! And sometimes, that's what you want! I would definitely stay here again...but if you don't want to camp out, you can use the springs for free by parking in the little day use lot at the trailhead, just across from the campground.

If you do not like being next to the freeway, this campground is not for you. It did not bother us. We also take advantage of their half off rates during September. Thank you Wolf Lodge for that. Next, the campground has a lot of activities which we were not able to take advantage of. We were visiting friends in CDA and spent most of our time with them. I wish we had time borrow a canoe, hike and use the sauna. We had site number 12 a pull through with full hook ups. It is an end unit and we enjoyed it. The campsites in the center row have you facing the backside of another camper and it's hook ups. There are pull thrus, back in sites, tent sites, and adorable log cabins for rent. All sites come with a picnic table. There is a lot of shade. We felt very safe and even left our bicycles outside of our RV overnight.

As soon as we arrived the people in front of us quickly got stuck because of the boulders that are placed everywhere. The people that work there sat in the golf cart and proceeded to watch them for thirty minutes. My spouse had to help with 3 others to jiggle a boulder so they can gain an inch of room. The area where they ask you to put up tents on are white rock filled area next to our fire pit and picnic table. We were asked to not use the "ground" dirt to camp but did point out many tents using this. The rules are ridiculous, no hammocks , and if you are disabled and use a cane like I do good luck maneuvering around the unnecessary costly boulders that are not an improvement but a waste of cost. Never again will I or seventeen others visit again. Enjoy your boulders.

When we arrived, not only was Steve there to show us to our spot, but several others currently staying.

For our rig size, it was a close call and tight fit getting in, but once in our spot it was perfect. They got us in site 11 no problem. Is it an impersonal overly polished concrete and blacktop parking lot style RV Park with perfect level geometry/symmetry everywhere you look? No, but it was one of the best and most relaxing locations we've been so far. It's in the middle of a game preserve, so there are numerous deer routinely wandering around the area. Ahhh nature! As far as quiet goes, evenings were like a cemetery (in a good way). Just lots of peace and quiet to enjoy your surroundings. And the sunsets on the dock & beach! They are about as idyllic as you can get for lakefront property. We spent time swimming, kayaking, and just siting our on the dock enjoying the sunshine. I can speak for the internet/WiFi as we had great T-Mobile reception and so were only on our own hotspots the entire time. 60Mbit down / 8.9Mbit up. Perfectly suited to my purposes.

To see the actual location, refer to Google Maps. A lot to like here, and it's all dry camping. But if you are used to metro area conveniences, be ready to drive 20+ mins, with Suncrest being the better option, vice Reardan or Wellpinit. It's a pretty drive, wherever you decide to go. Sites here are spaced nicely for semi-privacy; meaning, it's nice to have a quiet space, but it's also nice to see neighbors 30 yards away. A full camp is a safe camp this far out. If you have a travel trailer, don't get Site 4. It's set up is 'against the grain' for the 1-way road, and the only reason we made it in was because of our smaller RV. Big rigs? No way. They have these--I guess--decorative rocks to define each camp site. They're in the way, mostly. Otherwise, if you have booked online, it's plug and play. We got to our site; name on the reserved placard; and let the relaxation begin. Easy...

If you have a trailer and pay a membership fee for amenities, this is not for you. We live out of our trailer and this place had 0 of the amenities typically offered/included. They didn't have sewage hookups which was inconvenient but we knew in advance. What we didn't know is that the closest bathroom was closed for renovation so we had to walk a country mile to get to a working bathroom. Not great when ya gotta go. The laundry facility was also closed so we had to find a place in town if we wanted to wash a load. They also only had 1 working dump station which had an hour long line. Overall it was not a bad campground for pure tent camping, which we weren't doing.

We waited too late to book the KOA so we went searching for a new campground as we wanted to bring our trailer so we could fill the fridge with Trader Joe's products. After doing some research, we discovered this RV park, which looked newer as we didn't remember seeing it before. The reviews were mixed, so I was a little concerned, but it was only two nights. We booked a specific site and on upon arrival around 7 PM Friday we quickly checked in and directed to our site. My first impression was "wow this place is pristine and clean". The grass was perfectly manicured green. The sites were concrete pads that were very clean level and well spaced out. I used the bathroom just to check it out, and it was also spotless. The location was ideal for shopping and to head downtown to Nordstrom's and dinner. You're also super close to a Trader Joe's, Safeway, Target, DSW, World Market and tons of restaurants like Olive Garden, Red Robin and other chains and local places. My only complaint was that the entire RV park is lit-up like a parking lot all night. I can see how this is great for security, but if you want to sleep with the windows open, that might be bothersome for you. Our AC was being fickle, so we did need the windows open and it was quite bright, but it won't be enough to deter me from using this place in the future. I definitely recommend this location for an in-town RV stay.

That kind of honesty and helpfulness made a really good impression on us. He was friendly, answered all our questions, and never seemed bothered by the fact that we weren't actually booking a site. The general store itself is super cute and has a lot of interesting things to browse. The campground also seemed very family-friendly. There were plenty of families staying there, and the whole property felt safe and relaxed.
