About
West Sullivan Campground occupies a scenic lakeside setting at the north end of Sullivan Lake, a 1,291-acre mountain lake reaching depths of 320 feet. Located about five miles east of Metaline Falls in northeastern Washington, the campground sits at 2,700 feet elevation in a mixed conifer stand with dense understory providing privacy between sites. A small airstrip adjacent to the campground allows fly-in camping. The campground offers 10 standard single sites suitable for tents, trailers, and small RVs, plus a reservable group shelter. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Facilities include vault toilets, potable water from faucets, garbage service, and food storage containers to protect against the area's black bears. All sites are ADA accessible with gravel and grass parking aprons. Sullivan Lake provides excellent recreation including swimming at a designated beach area, fishing (best from a boat), and paddling. The Lakeshore Trail, a 4.2-mile designated National Scenic Trail along the lake's eastern shore, begins within walking distance. The nearby Salmo-Priest Wilderness offers extended backcountry adventures, and Hall Mountain rises dramatically to over 6,000 feet from the lake's eastern shore.
