free or low cost overnight near Spokane?

[rvshrinker]

We will be just stopping for the night, not needing any services, not wanting to make any friends. Just want to park, take a shower, heat up some food, sleep.

Some reviews say there may be a Costco, Cabela’s, Fred Meyer, or other store in Spokane which accepts overnighters but it’s hard to find confirmation. Or any BLM land west of town where we can just park. It seems silly to pay $50+ for a developed spot when we don’t need any of the hookups, etc., we just need a place to park.

Any ideas for this area?

Thanks, fyi eastbound this weekend the Sprague exit has a big "closed" sign pasted on the camping sign. So it appears out of commission right now. Unclear if covid related, and I can take a look next week when I pass back through.

There is a truck stop at exit 272 (?) that might work. It's just west of the airport and across the freeway from the new Amazon center.
Cabelas in Post Falls, exit 1 in Idaho would be a good choice, and the Walmart also has rigs parked in there.
My choice would be Idaho.

It says 1.75 miles off freeway, from there is it pretty obvious where I can park? Or is it like a wide open lot, just park on one side?

It's a wide open area where you may find fishermen parked, but other than that it's your choice.

Very obvious.

Super helpful everyone, thanks

We stay at Cabelas in Spokane Valley when we are passing through. There is a Wal-Mart a couple of blocks from Cabelas also that has rv's parked for the night.

I don't know about the cost but we enjoyed staying at Riverside State Park right on the Spokane River a few years ago.

Cabelas in Post Falls ID is where we stay to visit a friend in Spokane. But that's on the east side, not the west which you requested.

Let's hope the OP returns.

Sprague is awesome. I am wondering..and hopeful..that the old vehicles are still in town. Oodles of them..just, there.
