Ponderosa Falls RV Campground, Cheney, Washington
Ponderosa Falls is not a public campground, it is a KM resort which welcomes Coast to Coast members.
We arrived at the campground around 9:30 am on a Saturday and had to wait until ten for the office to open. The office assigns sites based on availability and size of rig. They were very friendly and suggested a few sites that we either empty or going to be available by noon and welcomed us to go check them out before deciding. We found a great site that was to be available that morning, so we opted to wait for them to pull out. They did but without their trailer. After a couple of hours of waiting, we picked another site, which turned out just fine. (without the grass) Most of the sites had full hookups and varied in size with plenty of both pull-throughs and back-in sites, along with a few cabins.
The campground had a very nice lodge with some weekend meals. It also had a very small indoor pool, a weight room, and laundry. Outside there was a basketball and pickleball court, horseshoes, a kid’s play area, and one of the better miniature golf courses we’ve seen. Each hole had three holes to choose from. For little kids, there was a small paddle boat pond.
Just a few miles away was the Northern Quest Casino. We checked it out and saw that it had headliners like Donny & Marie. The gaming floor was nice as well. We also drove into Spokane to walk around. The city has some neat history, but what I enjoyed most about the city, is that it’s the site of the 1974 World’s Fair. I was there when I was twelve and some of the old pavilions are still standing. Over the years the city has let the area go, but are currently rebuilding it. I look forward to seeing it again when the construction is complete. The Spokane River runs through the center of the city with several natural waterfalls.
