Roosevelt, it is part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area managed by the National Park Service.

This campground is popular for hunters (hunting is allowed in certain areas of the park) and fishermen. The lake is abundant with walleye, bass, rainbow trout and salmon. Sturgeon also live in the lake; fishing for sturgeon is now allowed For a limited season. The boat launch is open year-round. Families and visitors can attend educational programs, enjoy a leisurely walk to the lake or relax by the beach.

Natural Features

The site is situated in a thick Ponderosa pine forest that provides plenty of shade. The lake area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer osprey and bald eagles. Dozens of species of fish inhabit the lake. Much of the water in the lake originates from glaciers and snowmelt from the cold, high Canadian Rockies.

Disappointing

First off- no cell signal of any kind! Be clear on that! You can go to Hunters Bar & Grill for lunch and use their wi-fi, or park out in the lot and maybe catch a signal. As far as campground, there were some spaces with privacy and others you feel your neighbors are in your living room. We came on a Sunday afternoon and dumpster was overflowing and smelly. Put toilets smelled poorly, too! They allow generators from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Now while they allow them, doesn't mean it's nice to run yours until 10 a.m. Dump station was sealed closed and no fresh water available at station either. Plenty of parking for boats and this may be what type of place this has become. We left after 2 nights. View across lake was pretty!
