Spring Canyon Campground - Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

Spring Canyon Campground is located on beautiful Lake Roosevelt. This campground has the convenience of a day-use swimming area with picnic tables and access from the shoreline of Lake Roosevelt. This is a great place to sit back and soak up the summer sun with plenty of space to sit and relax! 

Grand Coulee Dam is only three miles from the campground making this a great place to camp. During the summer Grand Coulee Dam has a laser light show nightly from Memorial Day weekend through September 30.

Spring Canyon Campground - Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

President Franklin D Roosevelt authorized the construction of Grand Coulee Dam in 1934 and the dam was completed in 1942. The backup of the Columbia River created a 130-mile long lake that was named Lake Roosevelt after Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1946 congress created part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area 

Make sure to take full advantage of the sun and cooler days of spring and fall before the intense heat of the summertime that often exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The campground has individual sites along with two group sites. 

Close to the day-use area with a picnic area, boat launch, overnight boat moorage, beach access, and barbecues.
