About

Kettle Falls Campground is on the northern section of Lake Roosevelt and convenient to the town of Kettle Falls. The facility has a multi-lane boat launch, making it popular among boaters, fishermen and water sports enthusiasts. The campground is forested and overlooks Lake Roosevelt, a 130-mile lake on the Columbia River created by the Grand Coulee Dam. The area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer and bald eagles. Dozens of species of fish inhabit the lake, such as walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon and sturgeon. Much of the water originates from glaciers and snow in the cold, high Canadian Rockies. All 74 sites are open to tent campers, vehicles, and RVs up to 50 feet. Campground roads and parking spaces are paved, though campsite areas around picnic tables and fire pits are unpaved. The Kettle Falls area is rich in the history of American Indians as well as the fur trade. The historic St. Paul's Mission, run by the National Park Service, is located about two miles from the campground. Also nearby are Fort Colville and the Hudson Bay Company Post on the Upper Columbia, as well as Sherman Drive, a scenic loop.
