Water from a nearby creek and the edge of Deception Lake define the setting at this US Forest Service campground in Colville National Forest, outside Ione, Washington. No pets are permitted. The campground is an established site, meaning basic infrastructure is in place, though campers should contact the Forest Service directly for current amenity details before heading out. Those planning a multi-stop route through the area may also want to look at Edgewater Campground, located to the northwest.
