      Flodelle Creek Campground

      Great DNR site

      It's so beautiful in the trees, each site has good privacy from the others. You have to have a discover pass to stay here, but if you do it's free. Best camping near colville natl forest.

      Douglas Falls Grange Park Campground

      We loved it

      What a beautiful spot! We arrived the weekend before Memorial Day weekend and stayed 3 nights. Saw eagles and deer right from our site. The vaulted toilets made life easy and the camp host was beyond friendly and helpful. The very small hike to the falls was only steps away from our site, and one of the sites you could even see the falls! We didn’t choose that one cuz it was full shade and a little noisy for my taste. The sites are roomy and pretty darn spaced out so we couldn’t hear the neighbor we had for a night. It’s about 10 min from colville, but make sure you get wood before hand, you can gather from the area, but stopping at a store to grab it costs a fortune. We might have to make this a regular spot, we loved it so much.

      Douglas Falls Grange Park Campground

      Idyllic campground overlooking a waterfall, FREE if you have a Discoverpass

      One of my new favorite campgrounds I found while researching for the Dyrt was Douglas Falls Grange Park. I must admit I was sceptical on my way up there as there isn't much on the net about it and it is less than 5 miles from Colville, a decent size town. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a well kept oasis that gives the feeling of being far from civilization. I saw no sign of noise/light pollution from the town 5 min. away, on the other side of the mountain.

      Probably the most notable feature of this campground is its namesake, Douglas Falls. There are views of it from the parking lot as well as trails to the top and base with access to other trails. Another nice thing about this place is the extensive day use facilities. There is a groomed field with backstop, next to a covered group of tables and bathrooms.

      I saw around 15 sites total with 2 clearly marked for day use and one was ADA. They mostly offered good spacing and sometimes even seclusion. My favorite sites were 10 and 11 as they were closest to the waterfall, tho many of the others seemed great also. There were bathrooms and potable water centrally located in both sections of the park. Since it is a state run park, camping is free for up to 7 days if you have a Discover pass, which is $10 a day, $30 for the year, or free from a wa public library! Keep in mind all sites are first come first served with no reserving, so show up early.

      If you find you need a change of pace while camping here there is the aforementioned town of Colville just 5 minutes away with a walmart, several grocery stores, and even a drive-in theatre! It also has many other little shops and eateries. About 15 minutes on the other side of Colville is the Columbia river which provides lots of opportunities for hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing plus more activities.

      Overall this campground is great and I hope you are able to get the same wonderful experience I did from it.

      Colville Fairgrounds RV Park

      Small town vibe

      Colville has a sweet small town vibe though your time may be better spent downtown. Sites are a bit run down and the heat really colored our experience at this location. But it might be a useful place to stop as it’s positioned between long stretches from Spokane to the Canadian border

      RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club

      Mostly really great

      This is a five star campground based on our criteria. Only reason we give it four stars is they are letting the only trees they have for shade die and they are creating a mess. No shade without them. Grounds are largely in disarray. Also washers are top load agitator type. There are many positives though that will bring us back. It is largely a quiet small campground. It is 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. Management is really friendly and flexible to changing needs. And they do not require payment until you show up. This is a great spot for golfers as well as non golfers. Note the club has pickle ball courts for free use! Great little restaurant and bar on site too with very cheap drinks ($9 Moscow mule!)

      Crescent Lake Campground

      The Real Crescent lake

      ***All reviews below this and above this are for Crescent lake in the Olympic National Park (also beautiful), Not this Crescent lake in the Colville National Forest, which the map indicates.

      This Campground is in the thick of the Colville National Forest, on the East side of Washington State. There are only three campsites, best for tents or very small campers, no your 40 foot RV will not fit.....They are not reserveable, fcfs. It is a free campground, 1 mile south of the Canadian border. The road in is narrow and has a bit of down hill slope. Each site is equipped with fire rings, bear boxes and picnic tables. There is one Vault toilet. Bring your own water as there is no access. There is also one bear proof trash can. The campground is up hill from the lake in thick of pines. Just up the road from Crescent lake is the Boundary Dam Vista House. It offers beautiful views of the Boundary Dam, The Canada Border and Beyond, The Pend Oreille River, The Selkirk Mountains, and more! Also close to Metaline Falls, where the 1997 Kevin Costner Film, The Postman, was filmed.

      The lake was even clearer than the one on the west side, it is stocked with Rainbow trout, and it's super awesome to see where you are fishing. For being a roadside lake I was quite impressed. There are a very few, SMALL, pull offs on the small dirt road on the lake. At the end is a slightly larger area to turn around in, or park (please leave enough room to let others turn around) There is a rope swing, however, the lake is not deep enough at the moment to be able to swing. People do kayak and canoe. There is no room for your trailer. If it fits in or on your car, feel free to use your boat. Most importantly please, respect this area, it's beauty is unparalleled.

      Browns Lake Campground

      The Lake in the Mountains 🏔

      It was a steamy 90 plus degrees as we finally hit the road, believing to be on the right trail we drove a frosty ac filled truck two hours north towards Colville. Believing this dreamy lake to be, only a few minutes away from us along with our group of several friends, whom, to our unfortunate luck, had been here previously. And to our unfortunate downfall, we had not.

      The quick jaunt from spokane out to Usk and the 20 minute skip up the road till it turned into a dusty trail, was all well and good for our traveling comrades however for us, a ragtag pair of best good buddies trotting along unbeknownst to us, about to fall into a pit of emotional disparity. Yes, indeed we had gone the wrong way.. the Browns Lake I had googled was a larger more well known lake in the Colville area, however do not be fooled, there is a smaller, more secluded lake tucked nearly two more hours east and just a smidge north. A small pool of a lake hidden amongst the fire torched woodlands only years before, now beautifully flushing out in lush greenery.

      The long winding trails finally dropped us amongst Usk, the sweet little logging town, a hop across a bridge and a skip up a dirt road and we were pulling in and around the pine tree cooled atmosphere of the sweet smelling, calm energy of a family friendly, dog happy camp ground. With tents popped up and a small fire started out awaiting friends happily greeted us. After a tad bit of jazzy do to my poor direction skills but nonetheless getting us to journey there. We unloaded the rest of logs, tent gear and dogs. Once all set up, in the much cooler shade of the basking 94degrees around us down on the lake. We changed suits and though the 10ft or so to get to the lake was a bit of a hassle with the steep slope of roots and weeds, and the lack of a sandy beach.. the calm, clear, nearly bath temperature water, easily made up for it.

      I am happy to say the night sky was immaculate and immense. How’s spent star gazing by the water after hours spent floating in the sun, and even a few hours spent hiking the woodlands after dust when the sun cooled down. With hotdogs and salmon cooked over the fire and a cozy Ozark Trails tent, camp chairs and even tin coffee cup to ease any remote tension. It was without a doubt, a pleasant first camp trip of the season 🏕

      Davis Lake Campground

      Davis Lake Campground

      This was located in Colville National Forrest. Approximately 2 1/2 hours outside of Spokane. The drive wasn’t bad, but the last 45 mins was on a windy dirt road.

    Guide to Colville

    Situated in northeastern Washington at an elevation of 1,916 feet, Colville sits within the Colville National Forest where summer temperatures can reach the 90s with mild evenings in the 50s. Winter camping is available at several year-round facilities in the area, though forest service roads to backcountry sites often close with snowfall from November through April.

    What to do

    Fishing options: Starvation Lake Campground offers stocked trout fishing, though you'll need a kayak or canoe to access deeper water. "While the lake is stocked with trout, you do need a kayak or canoe to get out into the lake because of all the Lilly pads and other water vegetation," notes one camper.

    Waterfall viewing: At Douglas Falls Grange Park Campground, a 60-foot waterfall is accessible via short trails. "The very small hike to the falls was only steps away from our site, and one of the sites you could even see the falls," reports a recent visitor.

    Boat access: Kamloops Campground features both fishing and boat docks with water access trails from campsites. "There's a trail that leads to the water for any of the campers or visitors to go swim at, site 13 had its own trail down to the water which was so fun to have easy access too!"

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: At Kettle River Campground, the sites provide good spacing. "The sites were far enough apart to provide some sense of separation, which we liked," notes one RVer who stayed with a 21-foot travel trailer.

    Shade coverage: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Colville offer trees for summer heat relief. "Our site #3 was tucked into a spacious area with tall pines. There was a wooden picnic table and metal firepit," reports a camper who visited in September.

    Night sky viewing: Stargazing is excellent in this remote area. At Starvation Lake, a camper noted, "The stars are amazing at night and I even got some service on Verizon in some spots."

    What you should know

    Cost options: Many campgrounds offer seasonal pricing differences. "It's $9 in off season and $18 in the regular season. So worth it depending on how many people are there in the summer," notes a reviewer about Kettle Falls area campgrounds.

    Permit requirements: Starvation Lake Campground requires a Washington Discover Pass. "With a discover pass this is a free campground, they're $35 for a year and $11.50 for a day," explains one camper.

    Cell service: Coverage varies significantly around Colville. At Little Pend Orielle Campground, there's "not even any cell phone reception," while at Rocky Lake, some visitors report limited connectivity.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly fishing: Little Pend Orielle Campground offers accessible fishing opportunities. "There is a family friendly fishing dock on Potters pond, and it is stocked with good sized rainbow trout the little kids had a blast fishing."

    Swimming access: Water activities are popular during summer months. At Kettle River Campground, "The kettle river is usually good for swimming and floating from the beginning of July until the end of August."

    Bring insect protection: Bug activity can be significant, particularly near water. "Mosquitos at night were bad but all of it was manageable with bug spray!" reports a camper at Kamloops Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Site sizing: Many campgrounds have limited space for large vehicles. At Kettle River Campground, one RVer noted: "The paved parking was quite small for the 'max vehicle length' rating. This left us using every inch of pavement we had."

    Self-contained camping: Most pet friendly campgrounds near Colville have limited hookups. "We stayed here with our 21' travel trailer. There are no hookups so we brought our generator and made sure we had a full tank of water," shares a reviewer at Kettle River.

    Year-round options: North Lake RV Park & Campground offers full-service camping throughout all seasons. "Super rustic, tons of things for kids to get into, water was clean, power was solid," reports an RV camper.
