Hawk Creek Campground is tucked back from the lake on Hawk Creek. The campground is popular, but small enough to feel private and secluded. A small waterfall adds ambiance to this beautiful and unique campground. Hawk Creek is close to Fort Spokane Visitor Center, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. A courtesy dock provides access to Lake Roosevelt.
A small boat ramp provides access to the water. This is a popular place to fish, bird watch, kayak, canoe or simply take a hike through the ravine to the confluence where Hawk Creek meets the Columbia River.__

Everyone at the camp ground was constantly being attacked by yellow jackets, being stung multiple times. The bathroom toilets had no cover so the bugs were bad. Other than that everything about the place was beautiful and fun
If you disregard the rough old permanent stayers, unclean, weeds and parked cars,, the lake view at sunset was beautiful
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. There were a couple other campers, but it wasn’t crowded at all. The only downfall is the sites are really close to one another. But the lake and beach are huge and there’s plenty of room for your dogs to play. There’s Fire pits and picnic tables for each designated camp site. Sometimes even a little firewood. We pulled our pop-up camper into site 7 which was perfect. Then we fished and enjoyed the evening under the stars.
I occasionally go down here for fishing. Nice little campground. 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. When Grand Coulee starts letting the water down in Lake Roosevelt the Hawk Creek boat launch gets closed. Don’t worry there are a few other boat launches within a short drive (10-15 minutes).
We loved this campground. 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. My guess is that it's a busy park during peak season, but our shoulder season timing was perfect for peace and quiet. There are a couple of good hikes nearby, and I hiked the Steamboat Rock hike. The first 1/3 of the hike was more moderate with steep trails and scree, but it gets easier once you're past that.
Pros: good fishing, good amenities (shower, bathroom, etc), price, cleanliness, availability. Cons: Typical designated camping stacked right next to each other so barking dogs, crying kids, or drunks are highly likely to be a nuisance. Overall it's really well maintained and accessible. There's a little grocery store/market/gas across from the park on 262 if you need anything.
Easy roads to get into. Excellent quiet campground. Beautiful scenery
During the winter months while traveling construction workers stay here and work long days and hours the ownership does not allow large propane tanks for residents. This is unheard of in the northern states . Have to move sites every six months whether you like it or not. Would not recommend this park to anyone ownership over charges for propane and site spots that are called premium because they have trees that lean sap and leaves on your 100k RV . Trees are rarely trimmed . New management has just taken over and let’s see how they do, but I believe the ownership needs to come to reality. With not allowing large propane tanks during the winter month for the long working hour people.
Perfect in every way. Close to a major town, store and restaurant across the road, giant sites with a good layout to still feel somewhat secluded and if you’re an angler, you’re 100 yards away from the boat launch.
The park maintains front sites much better then back, cabins are not that great and not worth what they charge for them, they have only had 1 decent manager since they bought park and he left, their are much better parks in the area and don't charge as much, owners want Westside rates on eastern side of mountains, would not recommend
widest, darkest skies in the state.... EXCEPT for the 3 glaring white/daylight floodlights in the parking lot. WTF. lay in your car or tent's shadow and the rest of the stars won't disappoint.
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 the water and looking at us. they had a loud growling tussle at one point. at another point, one of the birds (goose? duck?) met a loud, violent end in the water that sounded really close by. kinda spooky! found a dead duck right on the shore by the dock in the morning. i would have thought its killer had it for dinner...
if they turn the damn lights out, it might become the best dark sky site in the state. it's still pretty good but very frustrating to stay out of reach of greatness due to such a boneheaded design choice. daylight floodlights! in the *overnight campground!*
we packed in water. with all of the agriculture around here I dunno if the lake is filterable. there is a broken spigot.
Well maintained with lots of trees which is not typical for the surrounding area. Had full services which was nice because it was warm and the air conditioning was appreciated.
Staff was super nice and check in process very easy. Great playground for kids, nice store in case you forget anything. The sites are pretty close together, but not too close to be uncomfortable. Nice big area for dogs by the store and pool.
We spent an overnight here, but it was sadly not a great stay. I can’t recommend this spot for the following reasons:
The site was backed led up against the highway and was not only was it so loud we couldn’t sleep—it literally shook the rig despite stabilizers. If we’d been further into the park, it still would have been uncomfortably loud.
There is a highway bridge that leads directly in the park—almost directly into the site we were given. People were constantly walking into the site from the bridge day and night. This felt less safe than much of the isolated boondocking we’ve done—or honestly any of our camping.
Our site was covered in trash. It could be in part due to the highway, but I’ve never had site with more trash left behind ever.
No access to WiFi, this could be because we never spoke to staff. The restroom closest to our site was unexpectedly locked—had to use the other that had only one shower stall and two toilets. Shower was fine and had hot water, but that bathroom couldn’t support the volume of campers.
The staff left midday and were completely unreachable. We needed to find out spot, purchase quarters for laundry, and had questions about amenities/ the campground and we’re unable to talk to anyone.
Amenities were ultimately fine and if none of those other elements bothered you ^ you’ll be fine.
Amazingly relaxing quiet camping spot. Tent and RV sites available. Great area to explore, enjoy the water, and hike. Steamboat Rock Trail will take you to amazing 360° views of Banks Lake. Watch for snakes during the summer though.
This place had everything i could possibly want for an affordable price. Boat, kayak and other equipment rentals, restaurant, bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, fishing dock, swimming area, shaded lawns and picnic tables. Only $15 for a dry tent space with shade and view of the lake! Why not give it 5 stars? The visitors are primarily young, drinking, playing loud music, driving fast and kicking up dust. It was annoying but tolerable. Staff was kind, knowledgeable, location is close to I90 and easy to find. Easily a few hundred people here on a summer weekend, so be prepared. Be sure to check out the turtles swimming around the dock. Lots of wildlife.
Military ID required.
Sites 1-15 have zero shade and are close together. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or lake areas. Ports-potties for close bathrooms. Okay if you’re staying overnight or here specifically for the lake.
If I could give everyone at Ephrata RV Park more than 5 stars I would!
We stayed at the campground last weekend for a weekend-long concert at the Gorge Amphitheater. The campground was so clean, everyone we interacted with was lovely, and I’m incredibly glad we chose to stay here.
First off, the campground hosts were so accommodating. We checked in on a Friday and spoke with them about going to a show at the Gorge. They swung by our campsite the next morning and gave us a big umbrella to take with us for shade at the Gorge! They often swung by to see how things went, and were so friendly when we popped into the front office as well.
Here’s the really amazing part- we left a set of our car keys at the campsite when we left for home. We were in a rush to leave, and unfortunately didn’t do a final sweep of the site. We spent a whole day after getting home looking for these keys. I called Ephrata the next day and they said they’d be on the lookout. One day later, I get a call back, and they found them! They shipped them off to us in the mail with no second thought, which was SO incredibly kind. We’re originally from California and this is not something we would ever expect someone to do for us! It’s amazing to know that there are kind people in the world still!
The amenities were great as well. The campground is super clean! Clean bathrooms, free showers(!!), clean campsites, and quiet to boot. They have a great little front store that you can grab necessities from, and you can rent stuff for activities around the campground as well. They have a pool, a dog run at the front, tennis court, and more.
We stayed in tent camping site 17. It was the first row of sites, and had some lovely trees with shade. The campsites were all on grass which was nice. The site got nice shade in the morning and late afternoon to keep out of the heat.
It was such a great relief to be able to come here after a long day at the Gorge and enjoy the peace and quiet. We love live music but not the crowd that comes with it so being here was wonderful.
We will 10000% be back here for our next concert at the Gorge, and will recommend anyone we know passing through to stay here as well. This is such a great gem of an RV Park.
Thank you, Ephrata, for the wonderful service and support. You are amazing people and are doing an incredible job!!
Super crowded on weekends. Rangers were there at least 3 times a day to clean bathrooms. Very pretty with a lot of wildlife.
Great scenery. Great wildlife. Had deer in our camp spot. Stayed in 86. Nice and close to the water. Great for swimming boating hiking you name it! New favorite nearby place!!
Really amazing area for families and pets. The first 9 campgrounds are right on the water so my dog was so happy to be right on the beach. Perfect space for leads in every campsite and very well kept.
Pros:: The park itself is pretty and green. The bathrooms are clean and well kept with free showers. The campsite are spacious but there is no privacy. The kids loved the playground and there are community volleyball nets that are nice. There’s a nice hiking trail nearby although be cautious of snakes, we came across a very large gopher snake on the trail.
Cons:: we thought the kids would be able to swim but there’s not really any good place to do it here. Definitely caters more to the fishing and boating crowd.
There was also a large group of maybe 100+ people having an annual gathering that had personal volleyball nets up in the middle of fields throughout the park and they would assemble to play right behind our site and leave trash all over the place. When we were asked by the ranger to turn our music off at 8:59pm we mentioned it and he told us they come every year and he knows they will pick it up before they leave. Then they were extremely loud and disruptive all night.
And last but not least, beware of TICKS. We found a lot on our dogs and even some crawling on us. Apparently it’s common on that side of the Cascades but I wasn’t aware so come prepared for those.
The first thing that jumps out is the fantastic customer service from the owners. 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. They offer wifi, there’s a nice restaurant and everyone is extremely friendly. Conveniently located I’ll make an excuse to be back. Thirty minutes from a boat launch on Roosevelt.
We've had our family reunion here for the last 15 yrs, it's an incredible place to go with upgrades being done all the time.
This 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.
We camped here mid May 2016 in site #16. The fee at the time was $18. There were 2 clean vault toilets. The available water was treated with iodine. The waterfall was about 30-40’ high and emerged from a rock crevice. The sites were t that private but only a few people were there. I believe now that this federal campground is by reservation only as are the others in the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.
If you’re fishing, this is the perfect spot. But this is an RV review. Nice view on the lake, extremely convenient - just not my ideal RV spot. But this is a 5 star if you’re fishing. Boat launch only feet away. Not a lot to do at the park but tons of hiking and fishing all around you.
