About
Lake Gillette Campground occupies a scenic spot on the east shore of Gillette Lake within Colville National Forest. The 14 campsites range from private to more social, with some offering lake views. Lodgepole pine and tamarack provide shade throughout the campground, and paved interior roads and parking spurs make for easy access. The day-use area includes a boat launch, dock, and swimming beach. Hikers can access Rufus Trail #148 nearby, and an amphitheater is reachable via connecting trails. The campground is popular for fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Facilities include vault toilets, potable water from faucets (available through September 30), picnic tables at each site, and bear-proof garbage containers. A camp host is present during the season. Food and wildlife attractants must be properly stored, as bears and cougars frequent the area.
