Camping at Panhandle near Cusick

Public campground · Cusick · 12 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Panhandle centers on the river and the pocket wetlands at the south end of the campground canoeists and anglers will find calm backwaters and main-channel opportunities for bass and trout, and birders will appreciate the diversity the marshy edges attract. The campground is a good home base for exploring about 30 miles of forest roads with frequent scenic overlooks and chances to spot wildlife, and it sits in a landscape shaped by Ice Age glaciers where the Pend Oreille flows north roughly 130 miles into Canada before joining the Columbia.

How far ahead to book Panhandle

For May weekends, book about 94 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 34 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

July36 days ahead82 days ahead31 days ahead93 days ahead
August20 days ahead39 days ahead22 days ahead49 days ahead
September23 days ahead40 days ahead——

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,326 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
