About
Beth Lake Campground offers a quiet lakeside camping experience in northeastern Washington's Colville National Forest. The campground's 15 sites are divided into two small loops positioned between Beth Lake and Beaver Lake, with boat launches at either end providing motorized access to both bodies of water. Together with nearby Little Beaver Lake, these three connected lakes form a scenic string of water just northeast of Lake Bonaparte. The setting is well-suited for anglers and paddlers, with an 8 mph no-wake zone keeping conditions calm. A Washington state fishing license is required. The Beth Lake Trail #316 provides easy lakeside hiking, running 1.9 miles from Beaver Lake to Beth Lake with access near the earthen dam. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit, and a dumpster is available for trash. Vault toilets are provided throughout the campground. Campers should bring their own drinking water as none is available on site. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $10 per night, with a 14-day maximum stay. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and dogs must remain leashed. Food storage requirements are in effect to minimize wildlife encounters.
