A forested campground near trout fishing. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Outdoor opportunities at Kettle River reflect the broader Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area swimming is pleasant in summer, shoreline fishing is convenient from camp, and boating is possible from the courtesy dock or nearby public launches on the lake. Anglers will find walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon and sturgeon in the waters (sturgeon fishing is allowed during a short season), while birders regularly spot waterfowl, raptors and even bald eagles; moose, elk and deer are also seen in the surrounding forest.
Length limits vary by campsite.

“well kept ct with some nice riverside sites for tenting. Good pit toilet. Would like to see a potable water source. Mid September and there were still quite a few skeeters.”
“Great location and very good facilities. Very quiet for how close the campground is to the highway and railway. ”
“Campsite was nice and first few days we saw and heard lots owls, bat, and other wildlife. Water wasn't great but was accessible. Highly recommend bringing plenty of potable water with you.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,620 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
