Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits on the shores of Lake Roosevelt, a 130-mile reservoir created by Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. Dramatic basalt cliffs surround the water, carved by catastrophic ice age floods that shaped the Columbia River Basin's deep coulees and rock formations. Fed by snowmelt and glacial runoff from the Canadian Rockies, the lake maintains cool, clear water even through summer heat. Reviewers praise the mountain and water views. 'Beautiful view of the water, the Dam, the Mountains'. And the clean beach area. Bald eagles, osprey, and great blue herons frequent the shoreline, while the lake supports rainbow trout, walleye, and other species.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodging accommodations like cabins or hotel-style facilities are offered.

Programs & ActivitiesVisitors benefit from proximity to the Grand Coulee Dam, which offers a laser light show nightly during the season.
