Best Campgrounds near Orient, WA

216 Reviews

Camping options near Orient, Washington range from established campgrounds to dispersed sites in the Colville National Forest. The area features several waterfront camping destinations, including the Kettle River Campground within Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and Pierre Lake Campground with tent and RV sites. North Lake RV Park & Campground offers full-service camping with cabin accommodations, while Iron Mountain Ranch provides off-grid camping experiences. The region includes both free and fee-based camping areas, with prices typically ranging from $6-18 per night depending on the season and amenities provided.

Access to many campgrounds varies seasonally, with several sites open year-round while others operate from May through September. "The last 45 mins was on a windy dirt road," noted one visitor regarding Davis Lake Campground, highlighting the sometimes challenging access to more remote locations. Pierre Lake Campground exemplifies the area's primitive camping, with vault toilets but no garbage service, requiring visitors to pack out what they pack in. Winter conditions can make forest roads impassable, while summer brings warm temperatures often reaching the high 90s in July. Campers should check for seasonal fire restrictions, as many areas implement burn bans during dry periods.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw for the region's campgrounds. Lake Roosevelt and the Kettle River provide popular swimming and boating opportunities, while smaller bodies of water like Pierre Lake offer more secluded experiences. According to reviews, "The lake was pretty clear, and had nice reeds and a sandy beach" at Pierre Lake Campground. Many campgrounds feature basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, though hookups for RVs are limited to specific locations like North Lake RV Park. Several campers noted excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, including deer sightings and bald eagle watching along the Kettle River. Mosquitoes and bees can be prevalent in summer months, so insect protection is advisable. Cell service is limited throughout the area, with most locations offering only spotty coverage.

    Mill Pond Campground

    Very nice underutilized campground

    We spent one night the week before Labor Day weekend. All the campgrounds around Sullivan Lake were nearly full and busy. We had this entire place to ourselves, what a treat but also a shame it isn’t being better utilized. It has been recently updated with paved roads and flat gravel parking pads. All facilities are extremely nice. The only downside is that all the sites are a short ways off the stream that flows past. If in the area again we will absolutely stay here again.

    Boundary Dam Campground

    Better than paid sites

    Everything is well maintained, the sites are clean if maybe a little crammed together. The lake is warm and the sites are great.

    RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club

    RV Park At Chewelah Golf & Country Club

    Wow! Really impressed with this RV Park. Very well-maintained, as you'd expect with it being attached to a golf course. 2 washers, 2 dryers, and 1 bathroom/shower room each for male and female. The restaurant and bar serve tasty food and beverages. Everything was very affordable. Stayed on a Tuesday night. This spot was on track for 5-stars until the road noise from logging trucks became an issue starting at 3AM.

    Kettle Falls Locust Grove Group Site — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

    Mosquito infestation

    We pulled in and as soon as we got out the car a swarm of mosquitoes immediately started attacking. We tried to just look past it and set up, they were just really annoying we sprayed ourselves down with mosquito repellent and it almost didn’t work. We found ourselves almost using up a whole new can. Great spot for a big group but unfortunately we ended up leaving early.

    North Fork Chewelah Creek

    Great spot, exactly what I was looking for

    Awesome spot, next to the water, pretty easy to get to. Saw some folks but not after dark and only at a distance. Very few bugs.

    North Fork Chewelah Creek

    Very refreshing and beautiful!

    First time taking the godson camping and this was the perfect spot.  The godson's mom told me she went to this area when she was young and then I saw it here on The Dyrt.  At first I entered the coordinates listed on the page and it took me to the opposite entrance to Colville National Forest - there are no places to camp on that side due to the steep drop.  Make sure you follow the written directions - just follow Sand Canyon all the way out and it will take you to the proper entrance to Colville National Forest.  There are a few different pull-offs to camp sites.  The one we stayed at was a bit further down the rock road.  It is a loop off the main road and there are several camp sites along the creek.  There is also a vault toilet - very clean - in this area.  The godson loved it - he even played in the freezing cold water.  I enjoyed the peace and quiet!

    Sullivan Creek Campgrounds

    Sullivan Creek Campground Site 6

    We love this site. Close to the road and creek. Large site that can accommodate two small travel trailers (up to 20 ft) and multiple tenting areas. Large bear box, and fire ring. There are toilets about 1/4 mile down the road. Close to Sullivan lake, and campground. Lots of hiking trails near by.

    Priest lake is about 40 miles down the road, but only accessible during the summer months due to snow.
