Views with noise
Great visuals. The views are fantastic. Great dock and put in for kayaks and boats. But the road noise gets to me after awhile.

Colville National Forest area RV parks offer varied hookup options for motorhome travelers. North Lake RV Park & Campground provides full hookups including water, sewer, and electric services with year-round accessibility. Kettle Falls RV Park & Storage features 62 sites with fifty-amp service, though its sites are positioned extremely close together. Gold Mountain RV Park east of Republic accommodates big rigs with full hookups including fifty-amp service, while Columbia Point Resort offers thirty-amp electric, sewer, and water hookups in wide, easy-to-back-in spots up to 30 feet long. The sites at Upper Columbia RV Park include both water and sewer connections with additional amenities like sanitary dump stations. "We had no problem getting around in our 50 ft rig. We got 2 sites side by side for our camping partners. Nice grassy area for group activities."
During summer months, reservation requirements increase substantially at popular parks near Lake Roosevelt. Many locations maintain shower facilities and dump stations, though amenities vary significantly between developed RV resorts and more basic setups. Several parks near Kettle Falls provide pull-through RV pads suitable for larger motorhomes, eliminating difficult backing maneuvers. Cell service remains spotty throughout the region, particularly at locations tucked into valleys or remote lake settings. Between Republic and Colville, RV travelers should prepare for mountain driving conditions with elevation changes that may challenge larger rigs. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements. One camper mentioned: "We stayed here a week in late July. Weather was great for hanging out in the lake all day swimming and kayaking."

Jump Off Joe Lake Resort and RV Park
Cute and quite little place!
We really liked this little campground! The beach was nice and the lake is perfect for swimming or paddle boarding/kayaking. The campsites are pretty close together but they have full hookups. You spend most of the day on the lake anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. We loved that it was close to home and an easy drive. We don’t have kids but it was a very kid friendly place. We have dogs and they loved the paddle board ride around the lake. We will definitely come back next summer!

Great experiences as a church camp
We booked this site as a place to hold church summer camp for the youth and loved it! It is a double site and we were able to have 12 tents up, single- to 2-man size, and a large tent for leaders. It looked like a cute little pop up village, and everyone was able to find a comfortable spot with a good radius of space between tents! This location was right across from bathrooms and bear trash cans, with a potable water spigot just around the bend. Quick access to the lake, too! It was easy for us to bring kayaks from the dock over to the beach, which had good seating areas and a nice floating dock out just a little ways. There was plenty of room for kitchen set up, and all the extras we wanted like a changing tent, a camp shower, a couple large folding tables for crafts - and all this without crowding the picnic tables around the fire pit or the girls’ individual tents! There are some good hiking trails around the site, a nice little outdoor amphitheater back behind another campsite, and about three parking spots right by each site. This location is a little set back from the highway, but close enough that you still catch a bit of the noise pollution from traffic. You also run into quite a few people while there, though the campsite we had felt spacious and private. Those were the only things I wish were slightly different, just hoping for a more secluded experience. I LOVED that there is no cell service, and you can spend the whole day out on the water kayaking through the chains of lakes, either over to Sherry or Thomas and around.

Wonderful secluded dry camping
Beautiful secluded spot. Plenty of forest and space. Only issue was the toilet ran out of water on the last day but other then that perfect site!

Decent spot
It’s a bit back from the road which is nice. Seems to be 2 camp spots separated by logs. We didn’t see access to water, but we didn’t stay to explore. Great views of the lake.
Ronald S.ScoutBrowns Lake Campground
Great quiet forest service campground
This was a favorite camping spot when I was a boy but I've only been going there for the past 3 years now. There was a storm and a fire in recent years, so the tree coverage is a lot less dense than it was as I remember it from the 1980s and 90s. Still, the lake is there and is as great as ever. Campground was renovated with redone sites, bear resistant food storage options on most sites.
When the sun shines in the summer, it's really beating down on you there but otherwise the weather is pleasant by June.
Enough of an OG that I recall a water pump there way back when, it's my understanding it's been gone for over 20 years now. You will have to bring in your own water.
There is 1 bar of t-mobile coverage, intermittant. I did have a Starlink which was fairly reliable for internet despite trees hampering satellite reception.

Nice lake, off the beaten path
Good size lake, although quite shallow--good for fishing, apparently. There are 2 areas for camping separated by the lake's dam. Half a dozen right on the lake and the rest are a little further from the shoreline. Clean vault toilets. I didn't see potable water or trash receptacles. Host was friendly and said the camping is free for the time being but will eventually be pay. 16 day limit.

Quiet and Disconnected Trip
We spent a long weekend here and we will be back! The best sites are tent sites, gorgeous views of the lake at most of them. Our 30’ trailer fit easily into our site and would fit in most. If staying with friends, there are several sites close to each other. There are few sewer sites (most are water and electric only) but the dump station is clean and well maintained.
Since we didn’t have a sewer hookup, we used the showers on site. Pretty nice as state parks go. No frills but clean.
The staff were friendly and helpful! And fun to chat with.
We had ZERO cell coverage. Our AT&T (Pure Talk) coverage ended several miles before the park so plan ahead! Bring a book and games to enjoy your time here.
Guide to Colville National Forest
RV parks in Colville National Forest range from lakeside resorts to small town fairgrounds across an area spanning over 1.1 million acres of forest. Summer temperatures in this northeastern Washington region typically reach 80-85°F during daytime hours, dropping significantly at night due to elevations between 1,600-7,300 feet. Cell coverage varies substantially throughout the region, with stronger signals near towns and limited connectivity in valleys.
What to do
Water recreation on smaller lakes: Jump Off Joe Lake Resort provides access to a small, warm lake perfect for fishing and swimming. "The lake is small and warm. There is great fishing. The spots are a bit close together unless you have a large group," explains Diane O. at Jump Off Joe Lake Resort and RV Park.
Golfing and local exploration: Several RV parks provide convenient access to recreational facilities. "The golf course is beautiful and the area has backroads to all kinds of little towns with good burger joints. Kayaking very close," notes a reviewer who works at RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club.
Summer lake activities: North Lake RV Park offers multi-day water recreation options. One visitor mentioned, "This place is great. Super rustic, tons of things for kids to get into, water was clean, power was solid. Heads up, your cell coverage will be spotty here. (Bring a book)," according to Craig S.
What campers like
Family amenities: Many campgrounds offer facilities specifically designed for groups. "This place has showers and bathrooms which were great after a day floating on the river which is just a short drive away. Great tent camping with group camping available. Sites have a lot of room, table, fire pit, garbage can and easy walk to rest of campground," says Jayme B. about North Lake RV Park & Campground.
Access to local communities: The region's campgrounds provide convenient bases for exploring nearby towns. "There is plenty of shade. The spots are a bit close together unless you have a large group. It's only an hour away and we loved it," adds Diane O. about their family experience at Jump Off Joe Lake.
Flexible camping options: Several parks accommodate different types of stays. "I'd highly recommend this camp," writes Andrew F. about Upper Columbia RV Park and Campground, adding, "The owner Ralph is very affable and helped us get to our site the first night as well as drove my car back for me from the canoe launch site."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Most RV parks in the area operate with limited seasonal availability. "This is peaceful, especially during mid week," notes a staff member at Chewelah Golf & Country Club RV Park, which operates from April 1 to October 31.
Additional fees: Some campgrounds charge beyond base rates. "This was a beautiful place, but they charge extra for the 2 dogs and then the extra kid to since our family is 2 adults and 3 kids and 2 dogs. Camp sites are priced on a 4-person base," reports Brenda S. about Jump Off Joe Lake Resort.
Road noise considerations: Location impacts noise levels at certain campgrounds. Meghan B. notes about Chewelah Golf & Country Club: "This spot was on track for 5-stars until the road noise from logging trucks became an issue starting at 3AM."
Tips for camping with families
Insect preparation: Mosquitoes and bees can affect camping comfort at certain locations and times. "Be aware of bees during the day and mosquitoes at night," advises Mike K. when describing their experience at North Lake.
Swimming accessibility: Some sites provide dedicated swimming areas for children. "We spent 3 nights here last week with our family and everyone had a great time... There is plenty of shade," says Diane O. about Jump Off Joe Lake Resort and RV Park.
Multi-generational appeal: Certain campgrounds maintain long-standing appeal. "Love JOJ, I have been coming here since I was 5 or so, beautiful location, fishing, camping; cabins, tents or RV. Swimming with floating dock, and playground area," shares Jae H.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing: Parks vary significantly in how close sites are positioned. "They are very reasonably priced and is very dog friendly. There are several places to walk the dogs on leash and off within either walking distance or a short drive to the Colville national forest," explains Mary F. about RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club.
Site width considerations: Columbia Point Resort offers sites accommodating specific RV lengths. "Very nice campground, bathrooms clean," notes Jodi S. about a similar property in the region, while Thomas adds about Columbia Point Resort: "They were so friendly. Nice spots, wide, easy to back in (30ft). Free fresh eggs from their chicken, fresh onions from the garden and more."
Weather patterns: Summer electrical storms can occur in the region. "A thunder and lightning storm 1 night to keep it interesting. Hosts were great and I know they have plenty of rules but we didn't feel like we were being watched the whole time," reports Mike K.
