Lake Leo Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Colville National Forest keeps Lake Leo Campground small by design: just eight sites, no day-use access, and a camp host on site. That limited footprint means weekday visitors have often had the grounds to themselves. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, vault toilets are well maintained, and drinking water is available, though at least one camper notes it requires filtering. Some sites have direct views of Lake Leo; others are less private. A boat launch gives anglers direct water access. Campers interested in dog-friendly camping around Colville National Forest will find this site accommodates pets, with nearby options like Frater Lake worth considering for a longer stay in the area.

Quite and Neat

Arrived to find an available site. Nice view of Lake Leo. Clean site, vault toilet's were clean and well stocked. The grounds were checked up on by the Forest Service and camp host. There are no services at the sites other than fire pits. Water is available. However, it needs filtering. Camp sites are far enough away from Highway 20 that traffic wasn't heard.

Quiet during the week.

We showed up on a Wednesday and had the camp to ourselves. The camp host is always on site and super friendly. Nice, small, fishing lake in Colville National Forest. Sites all have picnic tables, and fire pits. The bathrooms are vault toilets and well maintained. There is drinking water available. I particularly liked this spot because there are only 8 sites. Some of them have lake views and are a little more secluded. The others are less private. It also has a boat launch. Best part, there is no day use at this site, so the whole campground has a private feel.
