About
Gifford Campground occupies a scenic stretch of Lake Roosevelt's northern shore within the National Recreation Area. Nearly every campsite offers unobstructed views of the 130-mile reservoir created by Grand Coulee Dam. Towering ponderosa pines provide ample shade throughout the facility, which includes a boat launch, dock, dump station, and fish cleaning station. The campground is popular among anglers targeting walleye, bass, rainbow trout, and salmon, with limited sturgeon fishing also available seasonally. Hunting is permitted in designated areas of the park. The convenient Gifford Ferry, operated free by the Colville Confederated Tribes, departs every 15 minutes for quick access across the lake. All 42 sites are standard non-electric and must be reserved through Recreation.gov. Potable water and flush toilets operate seasonally from May 1 through September 30, weather permitting. Vault toilets remain available year-round. There are no hookups. Campers should be prepared for limited trash services and pack out waste.
