Camping close in, not a lot of options. Riverside State park has some nice sites along the river; the main loop is not that great. Mt. Spokane, should be open now for camping at Bald Knob. Or, KOA.
Riverside - relatively non-technical fast singletrack/ fire roads that you can combine into nice long fast loops. There is a map ( made by Backcountry Horsemen) that you can pick up at REI or Northwest Map for about $6.
Beacon Hill. "Family Man" was the inspiration for our new skills park at Camp Sekani. Technical singletrack with lots of climbing all over Beacon Hill, or DH/FR trails out of Camp Sekani. You can get a map at Mountain Gear, Bike Hub, North Division Bikes, and the various Wheelsports. Call first, I am not sure who is stocked right now. What you'll find at Camp Sekani is dirt jumps, brand new pump track, skills park, big rock features and some pretty darn cool DH/FR style trails, You'll have to push your bike up, there are several DH race course and other trails up there, features with names like Rushmore and Girthmore...
Mt. Spokane. You can either ride up or shuttle. I forget all the trail numbers but the ride from Cooks Cabin down is really fun. From what I have heard the summit down to Cooks Cabin is pretty much destroyed.

Also Kettle Crest Fest is next weekend. If you are in the region there is some fabulous alpine riding there.
