Plum Point — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

This boat-in campground sits on Lake Roosevelt, accessible only by watercraft from Grand Coulee Dam. The National Park Service maintains four sites with vault toilets, fire pits, and picnic tables, plus a boat dock that accommodates up to eight vessels. Native grasses show wear from regular use, as this marks the first boat-accessible camping spot upstream from the dam.

Campers report finding the area well-maintained despite heavy traffic. The location works well for those attending events at Grand Coulee Dam who need overnight accommodations. For land-based alternatives, Spring Canyon Campground — Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area provides drive-in access nearby.

Quiet, flat, easy boat acess.

Docked here in mid Sept 2020 to camp for the night. Area was well used, so native grasses were well trampled, as it is the first boat-in camp from Grand Coulee Dam. Vault toilet, fire pits and picnic tables for 4 sites bioat dock supports up to 8 boats. Overall nice camp spot.

Good camping to enjoy the Grand Coulee Damn

Thought we'd be sleeping in the car in a parking lot after the laser light show at the Grand Coulee Dam, but we found a spot at this nice campground just a fe miles away. Nice, but nothing too special.
