Eastern Washington's Davenport area features a diverse range of camping opportunities centered around Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Established campgrounds like Hawk Creek, Porcupine Bay, and Fort Spokane provide access to the lake's shoreline with varying levels of amenities. Twin Lakes, located about 20 miles southwest of Davenport, offers year-round camping with basic facilities primarily serving tent campers and fishing enthusiasts. For those seeking more developed options, Two Rivers Resort provides full hookups for RVs along with cabin rentals. The surrounding region also includes dispersed camping on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) properties such as Fishtrap Recreation Area and Hog Lake, where campers can find more primitive experiences.
Road conditions vary significantly throughout the area, with many campgrounds accessible via paved roads while dispersed sites often require travel on gravel or dirt roads. As one camper noted about Hog Lake, "There are 10-12 spots along the gravel road. None of these are really official spots but it's a nice place to pass through." Most Lake Roosevelt campgrounds operate seasonally from May through September, though some remain open year-round with reduced services. A Washington Discover Pass is required at many state-managed sites, and stay limits typically range from 3 to 14 days depending on location. Cell service is spotty in remote areas, particularly in canyons and at lakeside locations.
Water access represents a major draw for campers in the region. Lake Roosevelt's extensive shoreline provides opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming at developed sites. As one visitor to Lake Spokane Campground mentioned, "The park by the lake was very well taken care of as most campers spent the day swimming in the nice gated off swim section." Wildlife viewing is another highlight, with opportunities to spot eagles, deer, and various waterfowl. The unique scabland landscape creates distinctive camping experiences, particularly at BLM sites where, according to one reviewer, "The night skies are particularly dark because you're a long way from any civilization." Weekends tend to be busier, especially during summer months when fishing is popular.
"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."
"We camped close to the Falls so we had a nice view from our campspot."

"Stopped here for a quick one-night stay while driving from Seattle to Montana. It's a free campsite located very close to the main highway, making it super convenient for a rest stop."
"The camp ground we stayed at was maintained nicely and was very spacious where we weren't too close to our neighbors but were close enough to holler some of our camp fire stories around night time."

"If you use kayaks, stay along the shore to avoid a dangerous situation! The Fort still has a structure with exhibits inside to visit and a nice bluff trail that overlooks the Spokane River."
"You can be tucked up against the trees or down closer to river access and more sunshine. A couple of docks for fishing, hiking trails, and boat ramp."

If you are traveling through the Inland Northwest along the Interstate 90 or US-2 corridors on your way to or from Glacier National Park, Northern Quest RV Resort in Airway Heights (just west of Spokane) is a premier place to pull in. We stopped here along our route, and it immediately stood out as one of the cleanest, most manicured RV resorts we’ve stayed at.

The Hitched4fun Verdict
Northern Quest RV Resort strikes the perfect balance between high-end RV resort luxury and effortless road-trip practicality. Between the pristine green grass pads, spotless grounds, ultra-convenient fueling, and complimentary casino shuttle, it takes all the friction out of a travel day. It is an outstanding stopover for big rigs and road-trippers alike, and our crew would gladly stay here again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!
TravelerI've been staying here for about a week. It's very clean and well kept. The neighbors all seem to keep to themselves. Not a lot of shade but there are trees around the outside of the park. Getting in and out of the camping spots is very easy. We have full hook ups and WiFi is included along with water but you do get charged for electricity. Long term camping requires a background check but it's the best rate for such amenities. (My winter rate is 636 for 28 days). The only complaint I have is the noise. There is a lot of road noise throughout the day and a lot of the night. This isn't really the park's fault though, Spokane is noisy.
RangerNot far off the main, road was decent. Not a ton of shade but good places to park or pop a tent. Only a few flies, really pretty scenery. Good cell signal, nice place.
GuideWe are normally boondockers but stayed here one night to restock, shower and do laundry. It was $92 with tax ($75 without) but was worth it. The laundry was $3.25 per wash or dry, so a little pricey but the dryers were HOT. We could've done 2 wash loads and gotten them both dry with one dryer payment. The showers were clean and hot. Campground was meticulously clean and quiet (some highway noise). We even got a workout in (with our own equipment) in their community room. And the front desk attendant was friendly and very helpful.
TravelerWasted a lot of time to discover the campground is closed, and is still not for military personnel. A military ID is required to enter, when it’s open
TravelerNice free spot for campervan, sign said camping limit 14 days.
GuideI found this looking for the BLM land by Fishtrap lake. It might even be called that not Hog lake campground, but it was a little hard to find. You can't camp at the fishtrap lake trail head. But this is in Google maps as well as the BLM guidebook. The campspots are very well spaced out for privacy. The only downside are the train whistles.
GuideWe just stayed here for one night on our way to Glacier National Park. The campground is pretty and the 11 sites are all well spaced giving you plenty of room. Showers don't have great water pressure, but they're free for campers. Bathrooms are clean. I highly recommend this campground! Site 9 is the best (you can see the lake from this site), but you really can't go wrong with any of the other sites. I wouldn't recommend Site 11 as it's right near the parking lot.
Camping opportunities near Davenport, Washington center around the Columbia River plateau with its unique basalt formations and channeled scablands. The area sits at approximately 2,400 feet elevation and experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cold winters that can drop below freezing. Spring camping often coincides with wildflower blooms across the scablands, while fall brings cooler temperatures and changing colors to the riparian areas.
Waterfall exploration: Hawk Creek Campground features a unique waterfall that flows dramatically in spring. "The waterfall was about 30-40' high and emerged from a rock crevice," notes one camper at Hawk Creek Campground, adding that "We hiked to some caves up on the hill witch was wicked."
Paddling: Launch boats, kayaks and canoes from various points around Lake Roosevelt and Twin Lakes. "The lake was so tranquil and the lake cliffs were pretty magnificent to boat up against," shares a visitor to Coffeepot Lake, which offers smaller, more intimate paddling experiences.
Wildlife viewing: The diverse ecosystems support abundant wildlife watching opportunities. According to a Fishtrap visitor, "We experience wild turkeys, a variety of birds, the sound of coyotes not far, field squirrels and snakes." Another camper at Coffeepot Lake reports, "we woke up to a flock of pelicans."
Stargazing: The remote location provides exceptional night sky views. "Widest, darkest skies in the state..." enthuses a reviewer at Coffeepot Lake, though they note frustration with campground lights.
Water access: Many campgrounds offer direct water access. At Lake Spokane Campground, "The site has an incredible view of Long Lake" and "The boat launch and swim area is nice with lots of individual gazebos and picnic tables."
Seclusion: Despite proximity to Spokane, many sites feel remote. A reviewer at Fishtrap Recreation Area appreciates the "Quiet and not crowded" environment with "beautiful sunsets."
Family-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds cater to families with children. At Lake Spokane, "Me and my family go here at least 3 times a year. We always stay at least 2 night here. It has a beautiful swimming area and boat launch."
Road conditions: Access varies significantly between campgrounds. At Hog Lake Campground, "Road is a lil rough but our outback handled it just fine." For Twin Lakes, "the road that leads down to the lake/camping area is steep and winding. I would not suggest anything over 25 foot length try to go down because you may not get back up."
Site limitations: Many sites have size or terrain restrictions. At Fishtrap, "A couple of the spots were hard rocks and not accessible for tents. We did end up finding a spot in our tent, but this site is much easier with an RV or van."
Seasonal challenges: Weather and insects can impact camping experiences. At Hawk Creek, "Everyone at the camp ground was constantly being attacked by yellow jackets, being stung multiple times." Summer heat can be intense at exposed sites like Fishtrap where "the soil is very dry."
Water levels: Lake Roosevelt water levels fluctuate significantly. A Hawk Creek visitor notes, "The lake was 60ft down due to the dams being open for the salmon and snow melt" and "The boat launch is only available during high water."
Wildlife experiences for children: Kids often enjoy the abundant wildlife. At Hawk Creek, "The last couple times there were literally 1000's of baby frogs that my son was catching and playing with. There is a ton of wildlife. Crawfish. Birds. Small snakes if you go looking for them."
Swimming areas: Several campgrounds offer designated swimming areas. A Lake Spokane visitor mentions "The swim area doesn't appear to be toddler friendly as it isn't a gradual incline into the water. There is a single ramp for access however."
Recreation facilities: Some campgrounds provide additional recreational amenities. At Fort Spokane Campground, "There's a nice swimming area and I hear that the fishing is great" and "A couple of docks for fishing, hiking trails, and boat ramp."
Site selection: Choose sites carefully based on size and access. At Fort Spokane, "Campsite 48 is long parking area at 120+ feet" and has "full shade great for our July visit."
Leveling requirements: Many sites require leveling equipment. At Fort Spokane, "Be aware of slope on most campsites. Bring your blocks."
Water availability: Water access varies between campgrounds. At Coffeepot Lake, "There was no water available when we visited (locks on pipes & faucet handles removed), so be sure to bring your own!"
Hookup options: For those needing facilities, options are limited. At Two Rivers Resort, "Spaces are spread out. Huge campground. Nice facilities" with electric, sewer, and water hookups available.
