About
Crawfish Lake Campground is a peaceful 19-site campground located on the northern end of Crawfish Lake in Colville National Forest's Tonasket Ranger District. The campground includes 15 single sites and 4 double sites, with 11 sites positioned directly on the lakeshore. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and parking suitable for small trailers or vehicles. The campground provides access to a boat launch for non-motorized watercraft, as internal combustion motors have been prohibited on the lake since 1996. This makes Crawfish Lake an excellent destination for kayaking, canoeing, and peaceful fishing. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout and eastern brook trout. Anglers should note that the southern half of the lake is on Colville Indian Reservation land, where different fishing regulations apply. Two vault toilet facilities service the campground, but no potable water or garbage facilities are available, so campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The campground is accessible via County Road 9320 and Forest Service Road 30, approximately 18.5 miles from Riverside. Common loons have been observed on the lake, adding to the area's natural appeal.
Directions
From Riverside, cross the Okanogan River on Tunk Valley Road to the junction with County Road 9320. Turn left on County Road 9320 and drive approximately 18.5 miles to Forest Service Road 3000-100 (County Road 9320 becomes Forest Service Road 30 at approximately 18 miles). Drive 0.4 miles on Forest Service Road 3000-100 to the campground entrance on the right.
