The land manager lists this site. Someone from the agency inventoried it, so it is a real camp — not a spot we guessed at. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

Read the terms FIRST, because this one has three: it is TENT ONLY, it is a TWO-NIGHT MAXIMUM, and it is BY RESERVATION -- you must call Rosalia City Hall at 509-523-5991 before you turn up. And although the town says the fee is 'donation only,' that is not the same as nothing: pay the donation, and be generous about it, because that is what keeps spots like this open. With those understood, this is the real thing -- the Town of Rosalia says plainly on its own website that tent camping is allowed in Rosalia City Park, a green town park with a covered picnic area, a kids' play area and a small kitchen that can be rented for gatherings. Rosalia is a Palouse wheat town of about 600 on US-195 roughly 30 miles south of Spokane, and it sits right on the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail, which makes this a genuinely useful overnight for cyclists and hikers crossing the state -- the trail runs a long dry stretch through here, so a legal, welcoming patch of grass in town matters. Do not confuse this with the town's OTHER camping: Rosalia also runs a paid RV park with power a couple of hundred yards north, which does charge and does not take tents. The city park is the tent-and-donation one. If you are in a rig, ask city hall which one they mean when you call. Confidence is HIGH -- this comes from the Town of Rosalia's own website, the operator itself -- but small-town rules change and this one needs a phone call anyway, so confirm the current rules with the town before you go, camp quietly, spend a little in Rosalia while you are there, and leave no trace.

Confidence
Researched — The record is detailed and internally consistent, and the coordinates land where the managing agency says this site is.
How it was placed
Source (AUTHORITATIVE -- THE OPERATOR'S OWN PAGE, free/donation stated): TOWN OF ROSALIA official site, townofrosalia.net/things-to-do (read 2026-07-28), verbatim -- 'Tent Camping is allowed at Rosalia City Park. Fees for donation only.' and 'Tent Camping is a 2 night max stay with reservation.' and 'For reservations for your events in the park/kitchen please call Rosalia City Hall 509-523-5991.' Same page lists park amenities: covered picnic area, a simple kitchen that can be rented, kids' play area. Banked as fee=0 under the mission's DONATION rule (donation-requested sites list free, and the field_note tells people to pay the donation anyway); field_note LEADS with donation + reservation + tent-only. INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION OF CAMPING: OSM way/446753342 'Rosalia City Park' is tagged leisure=park + tourism=camp_pitch. COORDINATE: TRUE POLYGON CENTROID from OSM API full geometry (api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/446753342/full.json, 7-node ring), area-weighted centroid 47.230842,-117.371807, ray-cast point-in-polygon inside=True -- NOT Overpass 'out center' (the CO lesson). NEAR-NAME / NEAR-TAG TRAP, CRITICAL: 0.11 mi (180 m) NORTH sits OSM node/4439924669, operator='City of Rosalia', fee=YES, tents=no, power_supply=yes, same city-hall phone -- that is the town's PAID powered RV park and is a DIFFERENT product from the donation tent camping in the city park. Do not merge them; note 180 m is inside the 0.5 mi dedup radius. STATE-LAND CHECK CLEARED: Rosalia is on the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail, but the trail organisation's own rules page (palousetocascadestrail.org/info) states 'Camping is only allowed at the five designated campsites all of which are WEST OF THORP' -- Rosalia is 150+ mi east of Thorp, so this is town land, not WA State Parks land, and no Discover Pass is implicated. land_manager='Town of Rosalia'; dispersed=0; camp_type NULL; water NULL (the town page does not state public drinking water; do not assume). LEGAL: WA has NO statewide public-camping ban -- SB 5028 is still in Senate committee and is not law (LegiScan, read 2026-07-28). Nearest existing WA lead 23.47 mi. Ingest 2026-07-28.
