Hidden Acres Orchards

98%

14 sites · RVs, Tents · Mead, WA
I'm a 3rd generation farmer, working the same land as my father and grandfather. Hidden Acres Orchards is a 60 acre, u-pick fruit, vegetable, and flower farm. Camp within the luscious fruit tree rows, in the middle of a vibrant pumpkin patch or even in the petting zoo! Animals welcome! IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW: We are a real working farm, not like a romanticized IG version of a farm. There are tractors running, sprayers making applications, farm animals loudly enjoying life, day customers picking fruit, and farmers about early in the morning. With that being said, we understand that experience may not be to everyone's liking. Be aware that if you do decide to camp here be ready for a real farm adventure! Another little tidbit: to grow food, we try to maximize the amount of sun it receives- SHADE IS VERY LIMITED. ALL CAMPSITES ARE U-PICK, THERE ARE NO DESIGNATED CAMPSITES. Let your creativity shine and choose as dope a spot as you like! If you're scared of driving off a paved road or frightened by the natural world we suggest glamping at another lovely Green Bluff location. Starting SEPTEMBER 23RD until OCTOBER 31ST every weekday we host hundreds of school kids on the farm. They start arriving around 9:00 am. If the sound of children's laughter drives you absolutely insane, you might think twice about booking a stay with us in the fall. Winter camping is available, please note we typically receive a lot of snow. Early spring is the extreme mud season, please be cautious of our soft ground and stick to the roads. July-August can get very dry some years, which means the grass goes dormant and dust starts to fly. Farm=Dirt MAX STAY IS 14 DAYS. No Side by Sides (UTV's), dirt bikes, or ATV's allowed to be rallied on the property. We can suggest close spots to rally. Bookings must be done though this site, we do not take payment for stays at the farm. Agriculture 101: In the early spring, fruit trees awaken from winter dormancy, bloom for a few weeks, and are pollinated by insects; the pollinated blossoms SLOWLY develop into fruit over the summer. As much as we’d like instant fruit in the spring, nature doesn’t work that way. Fruit development takes time.

Phoenix Rising Ranch

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents · Priest River, ID
This is a very private and quiet place, more of a sanctuary and not a party place. The only thing you hear is nature, a breeze through the pine trees, the birds, and the creek. This property was and is an organic permaculture farm in the forest. There are two orchards and an organic garden. The water is from a spring. The La Luna cabin is no longer off grid, but if the power does go out, it's a great place to be.. Hot Showers at my cabins are private and outdoors. There's nothing more wonderful than a hot spring-fed shower. The toilets are composting. (No water is wasted here)! Two of the cabins were built from the trees on the property by the first family that lived here in the earlier 1900s. The Birds Nest cabin was originally a tool shed that needed a LOT of Love to be in the condition that it is today. It does have power, running water and wi-fi. There is the option to take an acrylic painting class, banjo, guitar or fiddle lessons, paddleboard lessons, and have a real old-timey campfire with a glass of wine or two with live music performed by our famous Fiddlin Red on the fiddle, banjo, and guitar. Your experience here may change your life forever! We haven't added all the experiential options yet, so if there is something you are interested in please inquire. Every year we make it more and more magical and interesting. It's four miles up a county-maintained dirt road and one mile to a non-motorized lake. I can't see my neighbors, but they are awesome artists and musicians and some of them are off the grid! If you're bringing a pet, they must be on a leash and be quiet pets. If you are bringing a child they also need to be quiet and respectful. I want to keep my neighbors and my other guests happy with a peaceful atmosphere. Thank you!

Looking for the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature? Our private 30-acre mountain property offers a peaceful, off-grid camping experience just an hour north of Spokane and only 20 minutes from the highway — yet it feels like a world away. We’ve created a couple of quiet, spacious campsites nestled among the trees, each with its own private porta-potty for added convenience. This is true backcountry camping, so be sure to bring your own water and pack out what you pack in. Endless adventure awaits just outside your tent: hike, hunt, or explore miles of scenic logging roads by foot, mountain bike, or E-bike. Despite the remote feel, cell service is strong so you can easily access trail maps and plan your next outing. More campsites and even a cozy rental cabin are coming soon!

Camping in Riverside State Park, WA guide

Overview

About

Western Washington might be more popular, but that doesn’t make the eastern side of the state any less fun. It just makes it a well kept secret, or a hidden gem. Case in point; Riverside State Park. Located a short ways outside Spokane and situated around the river with the same name, Riverside is pretty well rounded as far as state parks go. You can hike, fish, swim, white-water kayak, go off-roading, ride horses, snowshoe, snowmobile and even check pictographs left behind by people who thought this area was cool waaaaaayyyyyy before the first espresso was poured in Seattle. This place is beautiful, no doubt about that. The Spokane River cuts through evergreen forests that occasional thin for open countryside. Birds gather around freshwater marshes while bears and other wildlife roam the hilly terrain. There is no shortage of places to camp, so stay for a while and explore all there is that Riverside has to offer. Although, come to think of it, that might take a while.

Notable campgrounds

  • Bowl and Pitcher: Set along the Spokane River, this campground is known for its iconic swinging bridge and towering pines.
  • Nine Mile Recreation Area: A day-use area with docks and a boat launch, perfect for water activities and summer fun.
  • Lake Spokane Campground: Offers a serene camping experience with fishing, swimming, and boating on the western end of the lake.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak season, to ensure you secure a spot at this popular park.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter camping experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations to snag a last-minute reservation.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Riverside State Park is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Riverside State Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and all facilities are fully operational. Winter offers a tranquil beauty, with opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, but be prepared for colder temperatures and limited access.

Know before you go

  • Check for any burn bans or alerts before planning your visit to ensure a safe trip.
  • Remember to purchase a Discover Pass for park access; annual and one-day passes are available.
  • Be aware of park hours, which vary from summer (6:30am to dusk) to winter (8am to dusk).
  • Keep dogs on a leash and only light fires in designated areas to protect the park's natural environment.
  • Accessible facilities are available, ensuring an enjoyable visit for all guests.
