About
East Sullivan Campground occupies the north end of Sullivan Lake, a 1,291-acre lake with depths reaching 320 feet, nestled beneath Hall Mountain in the Colville National Forest. The campground's 38 standard sites plus 7 walk-in sites are spread across shaded loops with dense forest providing privacy between sites. A separate group site near the boat ramp accommodates up to 40 people. The adjacent day-use area includes a boat ramp, swimming beach, picnic facilities, and trailhead access. A small airstrip adjacent to the campground sees occasional use by fly-in campers. Sullivan Lake offers excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing for burbot and kokanee salmon. The Lakeshore Trail, a 4.2-mile National Scenic Trail along the eastern shore, begins near the campground and is popular for day hikes. Hall Mountain Trail provides more strenuous hiking with panoramic views and seasonal wildflowers. The Salmo-Priest Wilderness is a 20-mile drive away for backcountry exploration. Nearby Metaline Falls offers historic charm and basic services. Crawford State Park features ranger-led tours of Gardner Cave during summer months. Seattle City Light provides tours of the Boundary Hydroelectric Project near the Canadian border.
