The best cave camping near Pullman

Set near the Washington/Idaho border, Pullman is one of the state’s hidden gems. This is the Palouse region, home to rolling hills and lush grasslands. In one day, you can go wine tasting, whitewater rafting, and singletrack biking. Thanks to the many local RV parks and campgrounds, there are camping options for everyone. Between Pullman and Moscow, you’ll find many RV sites with Wi-Fi and picnic tables. The city-run Pullman RV Park offers full hookups—reserve online to get a good spot. Camp year-round in the Snake River canyon at Wawawai County Park. Here, you can boat on the reservoir or hike through the hills. To the north, Kamiak Butte County Park has camping from April to October. The playground and forested hiking trails are popular with families. For boating, it’s hard to beat Boyer Park & Marina near Colfax. Sleep in the RV and tent camping areas; then, spend the day on the Snake River. At Hells Gate State Park, camp among basaltic columns. While you’re there, try a jet boat ride or learn about the Nez Perce people.

2. Umatilla National Forest

394 sites · Summerville, Oregon

Rivers, canyons, striking peaks and abundant wildlife welcome you to an expansive Northwest forest.

3. Idaho Panhandle National Forests

546 sites · Clark Fork, Idaho

It doesn’t get much prettier than the Idaho panhandle. Situated between Big Sky Country of Montana and the vibrant evergreen fields of Washington (which seriously look Photoshopped to the naked eye), this forest holds more than half the state’s surface waters, and wilderness vibes are guaranteed by the deer, elk, bear, caribou, and wolf populations who call this spot home. Moist maritime air comes in from the Pacific coast, and historic cabins dot the landscape. Near Spokane and the border can get busy on the weekends, but with this much acreage you can always find seclusion here. Make sure to check out at least a portion of the bikeable and walkable Hiawatha Trail—weaving 15 miles through tunnels and across high steel trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains, it’s been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country.
