Mark is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Our campground is also our Tree Farm. Situated approximately 13 miles from Spokane Valley in the community of Newman Lake. If you're seeking outdoor adventures, relaxation, or a mix of both, our location offers a wonderful blend of experiences, it has the feeling of being remote while being close to civilization. Beautiful, spacious, and secluded campsites on 76 acres. We are surrounded by trees where it is very quiet with the exception of the wildlife, the distant call of the trains. These are dry sites without electricity, sewer hookups or dump. Potable water is available. It directly borders over 890 acres of land owned by inland paper company that can be utilized for hiking. Campsites are surrounded by forested area allowing campers to submerge into a peaceful nature setting and there is plenty of privacy between each camp site. Wildlife like deer, turkeys, and an occasional moose are common. One can walk through the woods or just sit and listen to nature all around. You will find many lakes just a short distance away. Coeur d'Alene is 16 miles away. Sandpoint is about 55 minutes away. Silverwood Theme Park is about 40 minutes. There is lots to do here from fishing and hunting to boating and skiing. Come visit soon!We have 76 acres of wonderful forest, There are many great spots to camp. Currently I have 3 great spots to set up camps and to start you can pick your own.

We loved camping on Mark's land. The views were stunning. He was the best host ever and we could see all the stars at night. The composting toilet was clean and beautiful. This place was stunning. We will come back!!!

Mark and his Wife are fabulous! My friend and I met there with our three dogs and could not have been happier with our stay. Mark is quick to answer questions and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have the kind of trip they want. When my friends car wouldn't start Mark jumped in to help and we were able to make our next destinations on time. It was the perfect balance of making sure we had what we needed and left us asking to enjoy nature. We will be back. Thank you Mark!!

I loved this spot ! It was up on a hill with a beautiful view. It was quiet, had an amazing outhouse and was perfect for our 1 night when we were passing through. Mark is an exceptional host :)

Excellent host, beautiful campsite that seemed remote yet is remarkably close to lots of things if you’re so inclined. Wildlife abounds! We saw turkey, deer and moose sign but didn’t see the moose! Sleeping with the sounds of crickets, owls and the mountain breeze was rejuvenating. ‘The Facilities’ are a marvel of simplistic design worth seeing!

What a great gem of a spot! Clear, flat land to put our tents up, a cute little primitive bathroom and a fire pit. Mark was a great host and greeted us in the drive way to show us the land. Super communitive, too!

It was so great to have a relaxful, safe place to camp on Mark's land! We would definitely return, as Mark was a fantastic host and willing to help out with anything we needed. It is evident he and his wife take care of the property and set out to make it the best primitive spot it can be.
