Wallace RV Park - June 22nd, 2016

So you want to camp somewhere along I-90 in North Idaho? Good luck! There really aren't any campgrounds between Coeur d'Alene and well into Montana, the valley is just too narrow and mountainous, plus you might fall in a mine shaft if you're not careful. There are a couple RV parks.

We took a chance and stayed at the Wallace RV park, which looks like a parking lot behind a bar with some grass. It was actually really nice! We stayed in spot #36, which had an open grass area next to it (last site) and a fire pit. Bathroom and showers were very nice, but at the far end from our site, close to the restaurant but across the creek. All sites have full hookups. It was also surprisingly quiet despite the proximity to the highway. The only bad part is that there is really no privacy as there are no trees or shrubs anywhere, but there is a nice little creek running the length of the property. They are also a few small cabins available for rent on the other side of the creek.

In Wallace (which is a very fun little mining town) we really enjoyed the Sierra Silver Mine tour. You also have to visit We also found the local grocery store in town very adequate. There are lots of boutique shops, galleries and restaurants in town, and Wallace also happens to be the center of the Universe, so there's that. You've also got to visit Red Light Garage for some great tacos, a huckleberry milkshake and a ride in a UFO.
