Kettle Falls Campground at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

The Kettle Falls Campground- Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is a picturesque campground with spectacular views of the Columbia River and only a few minutes off of Highway 395.

The campground is close to the town of Kettle Falls and Colville in the very Northeast portion of Washington State and you can find most supplies that you could need.

If you want to feel a bit nostalgic, there is the Auto Vue Drive-in Theater that is open seasonally only 15 minutes from the campground and how often do you get the opportunity to go to a drive-in theater?

Kettle Falls Campground - Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

The Kettle Falls Campground is located near the boat ramp for easy access to the Columbia River! There is also a fish cleaning area so you can go back to your site and have a freshly caught dinner.

There is a fantastic day-use area down the street that has a picnic area, baseball field, great bird watching, and a nice play area.

The Kettle Falls Marina has a snack shop next to the boat ramp.

I personally love this campground! There is space between sites, several sites with spectacular views, lots of activities to keep everyone entertained, and you have Colville and Kettle Falls nearby to pick up any supplies that you may need.

History Of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

The National Park Service manages Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. It was named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt as he was the one responsible for building Grand Coulee Dam. The mighty Columbia River created Franklin D Roosevelt Lake when its waters backed up behind the dam and created 600 miles of shoreline and the largest lake reservoir in Washington.
