When Bear Creek Lodge opened in 1952 it was touted as the widest single span wood structure west of the Mississippi. Major improvements began in 2001 by the original Linder family, and it remains a family-run business.

The Campground has the best-equipped sites near Mt. Spokane S.P., but admittedly pale in comparison to the Lodge itself.

Bear Creek Lodge Campground is located near the Park Entrance at the lower left corner of this map.
