A short drive north from Spokane in the heart of the scenic Pend Oreille River Valley, the Kalispel Casino & RV Resort offers all of the camping amenities you could want and then some. Whether you’re off to drive the backroads, hike Selkirk Mountain peaks or paddle the Pend Oreille, the resort is the perfect basecamp for outdoor adventures.
Centrally located in Pend Oreille County just an hour north of Spokane, the change of pace and natural splendor add charm to any hiking, biking or backcountry adventure on miles of nearby forest roads and trails. Take the scenic drive down Le Clerc Road along the Pend Oreille River to visit Indian Creek Community Forest where several interpretive trails will guide you on a journey through the cedars, pines and firs. This valley is also home to the Pend Oreille River Water Trail, which spans 70 miles from Oldtown, Idaho, to Boundary Dam in Washington just south of the Canadian border. Spend the day swimming, paddling or floating along in this idyllic river paradise.
For off-road vehicle and dirt bike riders, several ORV routes and parks are just a quick ride from the resort. Whether you’re out for a cruise in your side-by-side or seeking an action-packed afternoon on your ATV, there are plenty of routes to explore.
After a day out in the wilds of the Colville National Forest, your basecamp at the Kalispel Casino & RV Resort offers an evening of Vegas-style entertainment in a relaxed and intimate setting. The casino boasts nearly 200 slot machines, sports betting and a full-service restaurant serving up local fare. If you’re over 21 and looking for a lively game of pool or shuffleboard to go with your after-adventure drinks, hit up The Slough for some late-night fun (those under 21 can play too and order from the menu minus the drinks).
