    There was a glory hole in my room

    It was a nice place to stay near the trail system. Indoor shower and bathroom. I did find it a little odd that there was a strange glory hole in my room.

    Sherman Overlook Campground

    Great one night plus spot in NE corner Washington state.

    Cool sleeping at this elevation when hot weather persists in lower lands.  We pull a 32’ Outdoors RV trailer behind a full size 6’ bed and quad cab Dodge truck.  We would have fit in a few of spots and there was 8 total with tighter loop turn around at end.  Water was off due to Covid and was no trash dumpster but did have outhouses.  Nice trail to go hiking out back of campground and simple walking wheelchair loop at Overlook parking lot.  Was some road noise when the few cars around here passed us since CG is beside road at summit of Pass but was still nice private spaces with table, fire ring and near level parking pads.

    Cloverleaf Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

    Beautifully rugged camping

    Spots are clean with fire pit and tables. Dirt trails on the water which is a beautiful little cove on lake Roosevelt. Bald eagles, and lots of bugs. Most often in the summer you can hear the big pow wows going on across the river at night. See a universe of stars and enjoy feeling close to nature in this uncomnercialized quaint small campground. Which btw, is ALWAYS full when I've gone there. The only downfall is that the local teens like to have big ragers there and when that happens its only USUALLY for one night then they leave but they get loud and obnoxious. I've experienced that happening 7 out of 10 times I've camped there. Good spot to fish, kayak, float a sun island, rock hound, bird watch, critter watch, rest, relax, and get, away from people.

    Bowl and Pitcher Campground — Riverside State Park

    Nice spot, not well run

    This is a beautiful location with great trails.  It is a short walk to the river where there is great fishing.  Bathrooms were clean and the park overall was super nice.  We pulled in around 4pm and were quickly greeted by the camp host once we had chosen a site.  We explained we wanted to stay two nights without a reservation.  He took some info from us had some small chat and that was it.  The following morning around 830am we were promptly greeted by a female park ranger who returned our second days payment.  She said the site was booked for tonight and we had to move next to the bathrooms or next to a family of 6 kids.  We asked why the host would not be aware of the booking and that we had explained our intensions to him.  She had no explanation and told us if we decided to stay to fill out another slip and deposit it.  This left a bad taste in our mouth for sure and we left.

    Porcupine Bay Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

    Early May Camping

    This camping spot is conveniently located off a well groomed gravel road just a mile or so from the main paved road. It’s the first campsite we came to as we drove into Lake Roosevelt. There were a couple other campers, but it wasn’t crowded at all. The only downfall is the sites are really close to one another. But the lake and beach are huge and there’s plenty of room for your dogs to play. There’s Fire pits and picnic tables for each designated camp site. Sometimes even a little firewood. We pulled our pop-up camper into site 7 which was perfect. Then we fished and enjoyed the evening under the stars.

    Edgewater Campground

    Gorgeous campground on the Pend Oreille River

    This is one of the better looking campgrounds in the area. It sits right on the Pend Oreille River in the Colville National Forest, so fishing is good as well as the great views. The campground was nicely maintained and the host was very pleasurable to chat with. The campground offers drinking water, day use area, boat launch, trash removal, and vault toilets.  Firewood is also sold by the host.

    The sites are spacious and well separated. Each includes a fire pit, picnic table and tent pad. The website claims that all sites are accessible for any RV but I noticed a couple that might be difficult for large RV's. 

    With the beauty and maintenance comes a price and that is:

    $20/single site

    $40/double site 

    $10/Extra vehicle

    $5/Day Use

    All in all this place is great but a little pricey for me. I would still highly recommend it to others though as it is a beautiful place to stay, especially iof you have a boat.


Guide to Chewelah

Camping near Chewelah offers diverse experiences in the forested foothills of the Selkirk Mountains at elevations ranging from 1,600 to 2,500 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during day with cool 45-55°F nights, while spring and fall bring significant temperature fluctuations. Most campgrounds in the region can accommodate both tent and RV camping with varying levels of accessibility to the nearby Roosevelt Lake and alpine waters.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lake Ellen Campground provides access to a small lake with rocky outcrops and an island where anglers frequently catch trout. "This is one of my son's and my happy spots! We love hiking around the lake... Many people just park next to the road to fish as eagles and osprey can be seen diving into the lake to catch fish of their own," notes Andrew F.

Swimming spots: At Porcupine Bay Campground, families enjoy designated swimming areas perfect for children. "A beautiful spot for family camp outs. Lots of room for kids to play safely. Warm welcoming locals. Warm relaxing water," shares Justice K.

Hiking trails: Bowl and Pitcher Campground offers extensive trail networks along the Spokane River. "This is a nice little campground with plenty of tent sites and trails to check out. It is really close to Spokane but is nestled in such a way that you would not realize the city is there," writes Terrie M.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: South Skookum Lake Campground offers secluded sites with natural buffers. "Small campground but private sites. Pit toilets were the cleanest I've ever seen. There is a nice trail that goes around the lake where you will see a variety of wildlife," reports Scott B.

Lakefront access: Edgewater Campground provides direct access to Pend Oreille River. "A great campground with river access and boat launch. Site 16 and others feel my like a private campground trees in between each site and lots of privacy," notes Eddy R.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the maintenance at the region's campgrounds. "Vault toilets were the cleanest I've ever seen. There is a nice trail that goes around the lake where you will see a variety of wildlife. No cell service or hookups," mentions Scott B. about South Skookum Lake.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near Chewelah require advance booking, especially during peak season (June-August). Campsites at Beaver Lodge Resort can fill quickly. "Perfect lake to swim in that is connected to a larger ski lake with a channel so there is not heavy boat traffic on the ski lake," observes Aaron M.

Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds have limited connectivity. At Edgewater Campground, there's "limited to no cell service to get away from it all," according to Eddy R.

Weather considerations: Spring camping often means cooler temperatures and occasional rain. "Gets cold at night and will rain at times, but other than that the campsite is beautiful," writes Keshia D. about South Skookum Lake.

Tips for camping with families

Water safety: Riverside State Park offers family-friendly water areas. "There is a nice cement slab just in the water so it makes a safe place for kids," notes Arica C.

Playground access: Porcupine Bay includes recreational facilities designed for children. "There's a designated swimming area for kids, a dock, and a playground. Definitely a busy spot mid summer season, but good for the whole family," mentions Natasha S.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Lake Ellen Campground provides opportunities to observe native birds. "Eagles and osprey can be seen diving into the lake to catch fish of their own," shares Andrew F., making it perfect for nature education with children.

Tips from RVers

Hookup configurations: At Albeni Cove, RVers can find electrical connections but limited other amenities. "This is a very nice COE facility with excellent water access to Lake Pend Orielle! Small but very quiet with almost too much shade," notes Les G.
