Colville National Forest

Sure beats sleeping in a tent.

We have been going to Bonaparte Lake for many years to camp and fish and we just love it there. We always see a lot of wild life and enjoy hearing the loons

Our happy place. The current camp host family that has been there the past couple of years is great. Love the new dog swim area and swim dock at the beach area. Looking forward to next year!

First time at Gillette and we loved it. Plenty of shade and well maintained campgrounds. The bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed all the different wildlife and birds. Will camp here again!

We arrived in the rain late afternoon to find the site woefully short for a 24' camper. Over the winter they had placed huge boulders in the wrong places. We met with the camp hosts and they found us a great site available and we had a great time. We found the toilets to be extremely clean and well stocked. They are pit toilets so there was an odor but far less then you'd expect - they were pumped recently. The park enforcement officer, David, was friendly and helpful. The setting and lake are magnificent. There are bears in the area so we kept the hiking to a minimum. Overall a great time was had.

Campground is well maintained and managed...beautiful location....second time there and we'll be back
