Best Dispersed Camping near Curlew, WA

Loons and Coyotes are great music. Beautiful Lakes (Sidley & Molson) near historical Old Molson! Definitely dispersed camping in roadside pullouts with outhouse supplied by Fish & Game. Traffic is very low even though they were trucking out hay while we were there. Fishing slow in August but nice size and were told the town has an ice fishing tournament every winter. We met some great locals and were told of some of the horrible things some dispersed campers have done, come on folks....pack everything in and pack out everything too!! Verizon cell reception was present but the Canadian cell towers are strongest so beware.

As we drove through looking for the best spot we noticed there were several quality spots. We opted for a spot right by potters pond. It was very spacious and was walking distance from the dock and a toilet facility. However the toilet was very foul and we opted out of using it. The spots we saw were all quite large and they are very spread out from each other. There was also a creek running behind the spot we chose which was a treat for the dogs to drink from. Each campsite is supplied with a fire pit with a metal ring and a cooking grate, which came in very handy. There are not tables provided and it’s completely haul in haul out. We had a lovely view of the pond, which did make the mosquitos quite a nuisance but manageable. 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. A little further down was Bayley Lake which is fly fishing only and not as easy to access. Both the lake and the pond would be amazing places to kayak, we would have if the weather had been a bit nicer. Overall, I was very impressed with the size and seclusiveness of all the sites we saw. We will most definitely be back again!

Nice place on public land. Swimming possible. We stayed for the night

This is not a spot bc the park ranger told us we were not allowed to camp here

You guys who built this site #*&ck up's That's all I have to say!!!!!!!!

Short trip from the town of Loomis. Only a mile or so of gravel road. The campground has 10 sites. It sits between Forde lake and a pond we call reflection. It is or was a part of an irrigation system. The gravel road is fairly busy with plenty of dust boiling up. I recommend not taking the first site in even though it looks like it would accommodate a 40 ft rig. Four of the sites looked able to handle our 27 ft trailer. A few are slide in camper sized. Not busy during our stay and was a less improved area near by with more sites. Remember lake and pond so mosquitoes are present.

This is a dry Camp only. , no water/power ect. Has a small lake or a large pond? With a beautiful view of the valley floor.
