I pass this historic place when Iβm going through to visit my grandparents. Very nicely kept and donβt listen to the people leaving reviews about the camp ground on this site because itβs not the same. Itβs the trails and historical buildings NOT the Fort Spokane Campground.
Absolutely horrible. We booked two nights and set up camp...the wasps were EVERYWHERE! My kids were getting stung and they were in/on all food as we were trying to eat. There is no grass, it is a dust bowl. We felt filthy after only minutes of being there. We looked for somewhere else to stay even before nightfall, but with no joy. We then got SO sick and vomited through the whole night and next day. As time went on we got sicker. We read online that the water shouldn't be consumed...within 30 minutes of drinking only bottled water we started to get better. It took almost two days to recover! Never ever again will I set foot near this place.
Two trips to Fort Spokane have both been far less than favorable. My first trip in July was ruined by a rude group who were up all night screaming and yelling not in a nice way all night. Like most I assumed this was an isolated insident. Came back in August now the rangers are hassling everyone accusing them of having a fire because the absent camp host had put out the restriction cards on the fire pits but not cleaned out the pits. OMG Will NOT Be Back. Two miserable trips is enough for me.
Beautiful and well maintained. Many campsites, some too close together. $10 dump fee, but dump closed.
Great spot to stop and look around!
