Once you turn west onto the Vista House Road and drive 0.25 mile (passing the lake) you'll find the campground entrance. The 3 sites are in full shade and are NOT on the water. Crescent Lake in the Colville National Forest is tiny and only would take 5 mins or less to paddle to the other side. Douglas S. who wrote a review in July 2019 for this campground gave all the accurate information for this campground in the Colville National Forest. We camped at Boundary Dam for Labor Day weekend so we only hung out here for the day but it was very peaceful and we didn't come across anyone else.
