About

North Gorge Campground sits at the northeast edge of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, nestled in a beautiful pine forest along the shoreline. This intimate 11-site campground primarily caters to tent campers, though several sites can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 36 feet. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets available throughout the campground. The campground's boat launch and dock provide direct lake access for boating, fishing, swimming, and water skiing. During summer weekends, North Gorge sees heavy use due to its scenic location and water recreation opportunities. Note that there is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply. Nearby attractions include the historic St. Paul's Mission operated by the National Park Service, located about 19 miles south in Kettle Falls. The Sherman Drive scenic loop offers additional sightseeing opportunities in the area.

From Spokane, take Highway 395 north for 70 miles to Kettle Falls. Take Highway 25 north and travel approximately 16-17 miles. Follow signs to North Gorge Campground on the west side of the highway.
