Overview

Kettle Falls Campground is on the northern section of Lake Roosevelt and convenient to the town of Kettle Falls. The facility has a multi-lane boat launch, making it popular among boaters, fishermen and water sports enthusiasts. The Kettle Falls area is rich in the history of American Indians as well as the fur trade; campers can learn more at a park visitor center less than 10 miles away.

Lake Roosevelt is a 130-mile lake on the Columbia River created by the Grand Coulee Dam. Named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it is part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and managed by the National Park Service.

Recreation

The boat launch is directly within the facility, so many recreation activities can take place from the campground, including boating, fishing and water skiing. However, the lake is not very accessible to swimmers since there is a rocky descent from the campground to the water.

Facilities

The facility is conveniently located near the town of Kettle Falls and within 10 minutes of grocery stores and other amenities. The visitor center is also in town.

This campground has 74 sites and is by reservation only.

Natural Features

The campground is forested and overlooks Lake Roosevelt. Much of the water originates from glaciers and snow in the cold, high Canadian Rockies, although lake temperatures are pleasant to swim in during summer. The area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer and bald eagles. Dozens of species of fish inhabit the lake, such as walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon and sturgeon; fishing for sturgeon is now allowed during a limited season.

Nearby Attractions

The historic St. Paul's Mission, which is run by the National Park Service, is located about two miles from campground. Also in the area are Fort Colville and the Hudson Bay Company Post on the Upper Columbia.

St. Paul's Mission.

Sherman drive, a scenic loop, is nearby.

My overnight stay at the Kettle Falls Campground was in late October. The water had been shut off by this time and the bathrooms closed for the season. A pit toilet was still available and several dumpsters were located throughout the campground for trash disposal. I was the only person staying the night. I got there at dusk and left shortly after dawn on my travels. It was too cold outside to do any exploring, but the campground was clean. During this off-season, I recommend the price for overnight camping be reduced as the amenities are very limited.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tent camping visit to Kettle Falls Campground. The park was so clean! Including the bathroom with a good flush toilet : ) It is a lovely setting on Lake Roosevelt’s eastern shore. I don’t own a boat but there was a nice Marina and boat launch right there. A nice trail leads to a pretty day use area with a playground. It’s really a nice spot and I will for sure be coming back with my kids and grandkids. Lots of history in the area to explore too.

We met up for my brothers' birthday on the weekend of Ciderfest in Marcus, WA. The fall colors were starting, and it wasn't yet too cold. Although it was the first weekend of October, the flushing restrooms weren't closed for the season yet, thank you! Enjoyed our coffee watching the sunrise creep down the ridge across Lake Roosevelt. Paved, tidy, and not too busy or cramped, it was a great stay!
