"Our friends bring a boat for water skiing but we also just lounge around the beach."
"The grounds were well maintained, and bathrooms were clean. There was a good amount of space between sites, which was great. Most spots were very nice, and many were right next to the water."
$22 - $99 / night
"Close to grand Coulee dam and all the attractions and right on banks lake."
"The whole area revolves around the store. They sell everything from ice cream cones to any type of fishing tackle you could possibly need."
"The sites are perfect for a mid size RV (or tent) but it’s small enough and away from the hustle of life - love it. Peaceful and isolated just enough."

"Easy access to the water. The waterfall really flows in the spring, but slows as summer sets in. Fishing was decent. The boat launch is only available during high water."
"Rangers were there at least 3 times a day to clean bathrooms. Very pretty with a lot of wildlife."
"We have been to the Blue Lake Resort during June 2021. The location is awesome, quiet and peaceful for a relaxing vacation. The breeze is welcoming& gentle enough to get fresh air."
"We have made 2 trips to Blue Lake Resort during 2021 year. The place is quite serene and beautiful. I highly recommend staying in the dome with lake view."
"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."
"Warm welcoming locals. Warm relaxing water. Great for fishing, sun bathing, hanging out around the fire under a whole universe of stars. Most beautiful sunsets. Can't go wrong here."
"There is lake access with a small dock and boat launch, a common area consisting of covered picnic area with picnic tables, and a public vault toilet."
"extremely, extremely active wildlife. dozens of kinds of birds and bats. neat big bugs. we woke up to a flock of pelicans. at night, coyotes howling in ALL directions and raccoons rustling all around by"
"Water, electricity and plenty of perfect grass! Great family camping with a small swimming area and boat launch. This is a perfect campground if you are a boater. Fair warning..."
"The grounds are immaculately kept, the bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned everyday, and the location is great!"
"Breakfast was great. The stay was fun. Can’t wait to go again. I will book it ever year from now on"
GuideThis is a good spot if fishing, boating, or water sports. Pull through sites with full hookups or grass sites for tents and all in between. Close to grand Coulee dam and all the attractions and right on banks lake.
ScoutIt's very secluded and beautiful, the people here were all polite. Lots of nature to explore but pack in what you pack out, no running water but that's perfect. It's REAL camping. had a very nice timeee
ScoutWe have been to the Blue Lake Resort during June 2021. The location is awesome, quiet and peaceful for a relaxing vacation. The breeze is welcoming& gentle enough to get fresh air. Very friendly staff, good walking, can get out onto calm rides on water, get some fresh water swimming, catch good fish. Newly added Domes and Glamping sites are nice and they are more attrea We stayed in newly renovated cabin. Very clean with new management upgraded everything they can think of. Cabin has all the amenities including full kitchen. The location is awesome, quiet and peaceful for a relaxing vacation. New Management renovated the entire reort including RV, Camping spots, Cabins and especaially bathrooms. All the amenties water/electric, showers, kayak and motor boats rental are included in rental price. So no surprises at the end. It's a must visit stay place for camping/glamping and dome experience
GuideI have been coming here on and off for over 20 years. Coulee Playland Resort is on the short of Banks Lake. It is kind of a low budget KOA with a playground for kids.
Start off with, the service is excellent here. The whole area revolves around the store. They sell everything from ice cream cones to any type of fishing tackle you could possibly need. They also rent pontoon boats, jet ski’s, and 12 to 16 foot boats with engines. The fish and banks lake range from 8 foot sturgeon’s all the way down to rainbow trout. It’s a hotspot for walleye tournaments throughout the year. Do you need a fishing license to fish at banks lake, but you can also fish from right outside your tent if you would like.
All the tent sites are on grass, although the further out you are from the store the more the campsites are on a slope. They have restrooms, and showers, but not a lot of showers.
Coulee Playground revolves around the store. If you fish on Banks Lake, you will probably meet at the store to discuss what you caught, where, but never give away your secret tackle:).
There is a lot of things to do here. You can rent a boat and go out and see the miles and miles of banks lake. Maybe fish, or just enjoy the sun. Or, you can take your family down and watch the nightly laser light show from spring through fall that is projected on the side of Grand Coulee dam.
I have never gone to this place and not come away feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Lastly, I have never been there when I did not see a spectacular sunset on one of the nights. It is enough to take your breath away. I highly recommend a couple nights a year at this wonderful place. I got your dress is
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. I want to give a warm welcome to your host, Marion. There are 21 sites available, each with full hook-ups. Check out the Ti-Pi's too! Book your stay today and leave them some love.
GuideCool 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.
ScoutWe have made 2 trips to Blue Lake Resort during 2021 year. The place is quite serene and beautiful. I highly recommend staying in the dome with lake view. The morning and evening views are spectacular. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. Free kayak and paddle board was icing on the cake. The lake breeze and the freshness of air kept me 2 more days than planned. The public restrooms and showers were very clean. Another advantage was the dedicated cooking sites. Couple of days it was hard to use the outside cooking due to wind and those enclosed cooking sites were a great option. This saved us from traveling for food. Second time we stayed in the renovated cabin. Well thought layout and having a dedicated kitchen and bathroom is very convenient. The only drawback is, these cabins are not waterfront. You still have the view of water but not as good as the dome or glamping site. Kids enjoyed the glamping sites more than the cabins. Prices are reasonable and most of the facilities(kayaks/paddleboard) are included in the pricing. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Overall it’s a good value and we will be regular here.
TravelerSpots 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.
TravelerWe stayed on the East Side of the lake by the dock. Vault toilets, Paved roads, right on the water, fire pits, etc. Clean - first come first serve - fills up quick starting around 5pm om Friday. So if you're trying for the weekend - get there quick.
