North Gorge Campground - Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

North Gorge Campground is a small popular campground located at the North end of Lake Roosevelt NRA near China Bend. With only 12 sites this campground is small but offers amazing access to Lake Roosevelt. This campground is very peaceful and has dramatic views of Lake Roosevelt.

The campground is North of Kettle Falls on the east side of the river. For those who enjoy wine, there is a nice organic winery just across the river named China Bend Winery. You can even use your boat and stop in and pick up a nice bottle of wine to end the perfect evening at your campsite.

Just come prepared for the mosquitoes! Make sure you have plenty of bug spray with you! We found a lot of mosquitos in the campground when we visited. 

If you are unable to find a campsite at North Gorge Campground, try Kettle Falls Campground. This campground is a few miles south of Kettle Falls and has 74 campsites.
