Sometimes, you just need to get away from it all. For many would-be travelers, crowded tourist destinations just aren’t all that appealing, and it’s understandable. After all, why go where everyone else wants to go? There’s adventure waiting in paths not yet taken, no matter how experienced an RV traveler you are. 

Given how big the USA is, there is really no shortage of camping options for those who want to cast their net a bit wider. And for those with that mindset, get ready to be rewarded. You’re headed for the Pacific Northwest, where camping in Idaho is calling to you. 

Why Go RV Camping in Idaho?

A long time ago, travelers on the Oregon Trail arrived in Idaho thankful that their cross-country journey to the Pacific coastline was nearing its completion. Today, there are many paths road trippers can take to Idaho. Rather than passing through, they want to spend a bit of time there. 

With mountain vistas, hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and historical spots spread out from the tip of North Idaho’s panhandle to Boise in the south, it’s easy to see why Idaho has become a deserving vacation spot by virtue of all that it has to offer. Camping in Idaho is your chance to reconnect with nature or even just see a part of America you never dreamed could be this awesome.

Coeur d’Alene RV Park

The further north you get to go camping in Idaho, the more seasonal limitations you may experience, especially with campground availability. However, if you’re in northern Idaho from late April to mid-October (perhaps visiting Farragut State Park, a former naval training station during World War II), you should try to stay at this RV park. With 100 campsites, guests can enjoy lake and mountain views during the day, and then stay warm at night thanks to the free firewood they provide. If you need a taste of city life, Coeur d’Alene is 15 minutes away by car. 

Capacity: 100 RV sites

When To Go Camping in Idaho

Idaho’s geography and climate mean that when winter arrives, so do the winter sports enthusiasts. Thanks to below-freezing temperatures for those several months of the year, it still won’t be as crowded as other times, but be prepared, as some campgrounds may be closed in the off-season. 

As for spring and summer, they are quite mild compared to other areas of the country, and this makes Idaho an ideal destination for outdoorsy folks from all over. Those who want to go RV camping in Idaho throughout the spring, summer, or even fall should reserve a campground spot as early as possible, or risk not being able to stay at their preferred camping areas.
