Site on Jones Bay
Dirt road to a primitive road that’s one way at some points with a steep-ish grade down. No water. Vault toilets. But a spot overlooking a canyon wall with cool foliage around!

We made several phone inquiries and then finally visited May 15-17 weekend. Met a ranger at the closed gate to Jones and he explained that they are inexplicably remaining closed THROUGH Memorial Day weekend. This is the opposite of the recorded message, so save yourself the disappointment.
Open are Steamboat State Park and Soap Lake State Parks. Also, a park north of Coulee City is open as is the resoerts at southern end of Banks Lake.
There is little to no cell service in and near Jones Bay, but there is some at the State Park south of it.
Cant beat the view of the rocks and bay! Felt lucky to sleep at this gem!
Right off the highway, on lake roosevelt. 18 dollars a night. There are fire rings, picnic tables and vault toilets. All short walk in sites. Access to water, great for kayaking.
Only spent one night, but it was a great spot. It's a primitive camping spot so you'll need to bring water. The campsite is right along Banks Lake and is super peaceful. I immensely enjoyed the crickets and frogs as I was falling asleep.
lake Roosevelt offers miles and miles of sandy shoreline, private beaches and pristine waters along with great fishing.
This is a wonderful campground to stay at if you’re interesting in hiking Steamboat Rock or Northrup Canyon! Beautiful views of the buttes and rock formations surround you, no matter what spot you pick in the campground. These are primitive sights, meaning there is no running water anywhere, and no where to dispose of trash, so please don’t leave it where you stayed! Although there are only pit toilets, they’re very clean and well maintained. We got lucky when we stayed, as they had just sprayed for mosquitoes, but I’ve heard they are ruthless at other times!!
super awesome, primitive, secluded campground with plenty of buffer between sites. great for group camping. the toilet (sheltered hole in the ground) is pretty far down the gravel road. there is no shower. the mosquitos are hungry so come prepared. oh and watch out for snakes!
