Swan Lake Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing, kayaking, and loon calls at night draw campers to Swan Lake Campground in Colville National Forest, where motorized boats are prohibited and trout fishing is reportedly active. The paved road in makes access straightforward, and sites include pull-through spots for trailers up to 31 feet in the upper section, with back-in spots closer to the water. Walk-in and group sites sit farther from the main loop. Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, and locking dumpsters. Anglers, paddlers, and birders tend to get the most out of this spot, and those planning a longer stay can find campgrounds near Republic to compare options in the area.

Group Site

Awesome fireplace and picnic area, the tent area is a short walk from the covered area. A public path right through the camping area which was kind of annoying since the tent area wasn’t visible from the cooking area so there were strangers walking around our tents. Nice private beach area.

Great place w a beautiful night aky

The nightly call of the loons sing you to sleep as they howl to one another. The trout are in abundance but are some what if a challenge to keep hooked. Camp site are flat. Huge fire pits. And the night sky like you only see in movies!!

Beautiful & quiet.

Great campground with easy access to the woods and a beautiful lake with views and fishing. Paved road, clean drinking water, vaulted toilets, locking dumpsters for trash, no motorized boats allowed. Great for families that enjoy camping, great lake for fishing and kayaking, great spot for birding. There are pull through spots for trailers in the upper part of the campground and back in spots with lake views and access. Walk in and group sites are much more private.
