Detail location of campground

Directions

Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge is federal land so a state issued Discover Pass is not required. The easiest way to get to the Refuge is to start from downtown Colville, Washington. From Main Street (Highway 395), follow Third Avenue (Highway 20) for 6 miles – you will be traveling east toward Tiger, Washington. There is a brown and white sign at the intersection of Main and Third labeled “Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge 13 miles.” Just after passing White Mud Lake, make a right turn onto Artman-Gibson Road. The sign states the Refuge is 7 miles away. Travel 1.7 miles until reaching a 4-way intersection. Turn left onto Kitt-Narcisse Road and follow it for 2.2 miles where the road forks. Take the right fork onto Bear Creek Road (a dirt road), and follow it for 3.3 miles. The Refuge headquarters is a brown log building with a flag pole in the yard.

Great secluded camps

As we drove through looking for the best spot we noticed there were several quality spots. We opted for a spot right by potters pond. It was very spacious and was walking distance from the dock and a toilet facility. However the toilet was very foul and we opted out of using it. The spots we saw…

Remote, secluded, no services, narrow gravel roads

If you like camping completely self contained, this is for you.  There is a pit toilet (locked due to current COVID restrictions), and a fire ring at each dispersed campsite.  No water, except for the creek, and not even any cell phone reception.  Parking is level.  Roads into the area are narrow…

  • A panoramic view of our site (3 shots stitched together); plenty of room.
  • One of the better parts of the road through the refuge
