The campground sits on a bluff on the east bank of the river at an elevation of 2,000 feet. Many campsites offer a scenic view of the river. The forest floor is covered with thimbleberry, wild rose and other shrubs. The 1.1 million acre Colville National Forest lies in the northeast corner of Washington. The forest's great salmon runs first attracted native Americans to the area, then miners, homesteaders and fur trappers followed. The variety of resources and natural beauty in the region continues to attract visitors. Three mountain ranges, the Okanogan, Kettle River and Selkirk, run through the Colville Forest.
Sweet Creek Falls is located just north of the city of Ione.

This cozy, partially screened guest hut is situated on 200 sweeping acres of pastureland and steep, rolling hillsides. Floor to ceiling windows on the east side allow for a gorgeous view of the mountains and the lovely night sky. Composting toilet and hot water shower with equally impressive views. Enjoy the view, hike, bike, horseback ride, relax by the creek, swim the Columbia or Kettle River and fish Elbow Lake. So much to do and all super close or actually on the property!

Iron Mountain Ranch features the owner's hand built straw bale house which is run off solar power, a friendly herd of horses along with a few cats and three dogs. (look up the ranch social media accounts online for additional pictures).
Since this hut is built with partially screened walls and partial solid walls, you should consider the season when requesting a booking. I will accept bookings starting on May 1st but even in May the night time temps can be cold. Checking the local Northport, WA weather forecast can give you an idea of what weather we will be expecting. Please consider this luxurious tent camping as there is no heat source in the hut, no electricity or running water. Please bring lanterns, flashlights, headlamps etc. We provide a small charcoal grill but please bring your own charcoal. We also provide a two burner propane cook stove but please bring your own propane canisters.
The futon is a queen size and I can provide sheets and bedding but prefer you bring your own if possible as we have no laundry facilities on the property.
***There is a very limited supply of potable water on the property so you are required to pack in your drinking and cooking water. Dish washing and shower water is provided.***
In the early spring and late fall we cover the screened walls of the hut with clear window plastic so that the nights are not very cold inside the screen house. We provide a propane buddy heater that is safe for indoor use to help keep the space warm for you.
Utilize the unique composting toilet, our own design which became the first approved toilet of it's kind in the county. A hot water shower with equally impressive views is close to the straw house but still as private as you need it to be.
Horseback riding is available upon request and for an additional fee.

Great
The camp hosts harrassed us the whole time we were there. We were going to stay a week but left after three days. I asked what the problem was and he said my kind didn't belong here. Referring to my skin color I think. I asked for a refund for the two days I paid for but wasn't going to use and he started yelling and acting crazy. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Followed us a half mile away from the campground.
We stayed outside number for which is close to the entrance. The beauty of being so close to it there is cell service so if you need to get in contact with anyone, it’s about a two minute walk.
This is a small campground with about a mile and a half. Luke goes around the lake, which is a easy hike. I was able to carry my newborn on a pack and didn’t die. Lol.
 The lake is very small and his non-motorized vessels only.
This is a little hidden gem, my wife and I go to every year. I think more people should enjoy it as well.
This is one of my son’s and my happy spots! We love hiking around the lake and the campsites are affordable and beautiful. The west side is more open but also dispersed. The East side is less dispersed but more private with thick vegetation between most sites. There are rocky outcrops around most of the lake and a small island. I’ve heard the fishing is good but we’ve never gotten any bites yet… but that’s just a matter of figuring out what lures/bait to use. Many people just park next to the road to fish as eagles and osprey can be seen diving into the lake to catch fish of their own.
Too many people at this site.
Used to go as a kid with my family and learned to canoe as a kid with my Grandfather. I've wanted to take my kids and family back ever since!!
We love it! Beautiful area the staff is always friendly and accommodating The cabins are rustic but clean We now bring our RV and really enjoy our stays here There a lake, a restaurant snd small store and lots of trails for hiking snd biking It's a great place stay Fall spring and Summer
All the state (not Federal) parks at both Priest and Lake Pend Oreille (Farragut) have become prohibitively expensive for out of staters. Per the Boise newspaper a state legislator from Hayden. ID was angered that he was unable to camp the state parks in his area at the drop of a hat 'due to the large number of out of state campers'(who had the foresight to make reservations months in advance). He was able to push a punitive bill through the State legislature which effectively more than doubled out of state camp fees in these two parks. Not only is the camp site at least twice as expensive but there is now a daily vehicle fee added. A basic campsite (no utilities) can now cost upwards of $70 per night.
Took my RV and stayed in site 3 at west Sullivan. Absolutely loved the stay we did about half of the lakeshore trail and found some beautiful views and even a rope swing. Loved the campsite and will definitely be coming back.
Beaver Lodge was a pretty good first spot. The spot we had for a 29’ was a little tight but there was enough room between the RVs. Problem we had was that much of the grounds were empty but we had a camper on either side. Also, the hookups were not in good spots. The electric was at the front and shared, only one 30 and one 50, and the water/sewer was at the back end. We needed a 50’ hose to reach and the electric was tight. Everyone had the same complaint.
The lake was right across the street and we took our kid there each day. Smoky in fire season but it was a great first experience. There is also a little store and restaurant that has things you may need or if you don’t want to cook. Store has beer, wine, sundries, etc.
One of our favorites on a month long camping trip cross country. The lake was great for a swim and to play fetch with our dog. The place was nearly empty when we arrived so we got to pick what to our knowledge was the only non-tent site a slight view of the lake. Bathrooms were clean. No showers. A tad buggy but not too bad for being near a lake. Didn't get to do the trail because we didn't bring bear spray as a sign at the time advised. You drive for a bit down a dirt road to get here but the Google Maps directions were pretty spot on (slightly off at the end but there was signage to help navigate). A nice coffee shop in the nearest town too.
Stayed here Friday night and you really had to get here by 5 pm to get one of the few first come, first serve spots. Well maintained but expect crowds as most sites have 4+ people or lots of children. Expect to walk several hundred feet to the water. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table with space for 2 cars. Most will fit and RV.
The "day use" area has no river access, overgrown trees & shrubs with no open area to play. Each site has space, privacy & bear enclosure for foods. Tons of bugs & mosquitos.
An amazing campground ! A little busy but an overall amazing campground ! Clearest lake I've ever seen !
We stayed in site 8. It’s near the restrooms and water.
The lake loop takes about 45 minutes to complete.
Very fun spot to camp. There is lots to do nearby fishing, riding atvs, swimming in the creek. There are bathrooms nearby and Idaho city is right down the road if you need anything. Yes the road noise is a annoying at times if your right by the highway but you get used to it.
Perfect lake to swim in that is connected to a larger ski lake with a channel so there is not heavy boat traffic on the ski lake.
Good secluded campground. Dock to fish on. Not a ski lake
Spots 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.
A great campground with river access and boat launch. Site 16 and others feel my like a private campground trees in between each site and lots of privacy. limited to no cell service to get away from it all. Have fun exploring the area around with many outdoor attractions. Is on our calendar for a yearly trip.
This place has whatever you are looking for in a campground. RV sites with full hookups for water/electric/sewer, there are outdoor or private indoor showers, it's ADA accessible, there's also a great outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. There are equipment rentals that are reasonably priced as well.
It was a nice place to stay near the trail system. Indoor shower and bathroom. I did find it a little odd that there was a strange glory hole in my room.
This is a more rustic campground with only a few water pumps available and no other services besides a toilet. Each site is large with trees between so you do have a lot of privacy. We found lake access to be semi-difficult besides a single boat ramp but the nearby Sullivan lake has a great day use beach area
Most spots can fit trailers but some more private than other spots. Turn around loop is tight but doable with full size Dodge and 32’ trailer.
Cool 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.
Love this campsite. Very remote, and private. This campsite has the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen. Gets cold at night and will rain at times, but other than that the campsite is beautiful.
