Go Wild in the Wild of Cusick, Washington

A river winds around a forested hill.

When you hear the call of the wild, indulge your wanderlust in the Pend Oreille Valley and enjoy plenty of amenities at Kalispel RV Resort in Cusick, Washington.

We welcome you to this lush, glacier-carved valley along the International Selkirk Loop that stretches from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho, through the Selkirk Mountains in Northeast Washington, and up to southern British Columbia. No RV? No problem. We have cottages furnished with the essential comforts of home that will keep you cozy during any season.

Outdoor adventure-seekers will find more than a million acres to explore in the Colville National Forest and Selkirk Mountains. Hikers can hit the trails at nearby Bead Lake, Indian Creek, and Chewelah Mountain and discover camas-covered meadows and mountainside huckleberry bushes.

Whether you canoe, kayak, or standup paddleboard, the Pend Oreille River Water Trail offers historical and environmental points of interest to explore. The water trail flows north 70 miles from nearby Oldtown, Idaho, to Boundary Dam, which is just a mile south of the British Columbia border in Canada. You’ll find plenty of access points to the water trail, with the closest being the Cusick Town Park boat launch.

Kalispel RV Resort has plenty of parking for toy haulers, making it a convenient camp for off-road enthusiasts who want to ride miles of OHV trails. Dirt bikers can ride single tracks at nearby Batey-Bould park and Little Pend Oreille Trail System. ATV riders can motor up the mountains for vista views in every direction by setting out from Middle Fork Calispell OHV, Kings Lake Route, and the Bead Lake Loop. And mountain bikers can hit the downhill runs on Chewelah Mountain.

When you’ve had your fill of the great outdoors, you can head indoors for gaming entertainment at Kalispel Casino, located just steps away. Guests can enjoy casual dining at Wetlands restaurant and hang out at The Slough bar to cheer a favorite team or pick up a friendly game of pool.

For those times when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and you don’t want to be stuck inside a cramped RV, take a quick drive over to the Camas Center and pick up a day pass for the family. Kids will love swimming in the heated indoor pools with spray toys and slides, and there’s a 32-foot rock climbing wall, full-court gym, and indoor fitness center that will keep your blood pumping.

It wouldn’t be a camping trip if something didn’t get left behind, and Kalispel Market, located right next door, has all the essentials. And when you’re ready to hit the road again, top off your tank with Chevron fuel before you leave.

The Pend Oreille Valley and Selkirk Mountains are those rare gems of wild, open spaces where you can really get away from it all. With Kalispel RV Resort as your base camp, you’ll be in the center of adventure!
