Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Fort Spokane Campground sits along the shoreline of Lake Roosevelt where the Columbia and Spokane rivers meet, planted among Ponderosa pines and scrub that frame a landscape shaped by Ice Age floods and later human stories traders, trappers, American Indians, settlers and the soldiers who manned the fort across the road. The former guardhouse directly across from the campground houses a seasonal visitor center and small museum (open Memorial Day through Labor Day, with weekend hours published during recent summers) and an interpretive trail around the historic grounds that is available year-round for a self-guided tour.













Length limits vary by campsite.
Dump station on site.

“We stayed after the busy season, and so had almost complete privacy.”
Rebecca P ★ 5 · Oct 2025We stayed after the busy season, and so had almost complete privacy. Loved it. It's all boondocking so come prepared to either go without electricity or create your own. Our site was mostly sunny so we did a little of both over the week we were there. Big fires were pushing smoke into the area so had to supplement with generator. Lots of bird watching from our site. Eagles in the morning. Flickers and juncos all day. Dozens of others that may have been migrating through. Not a lot for hiking. We did day trips around the area. Potable water at the dump station. there is a fee even for campers to use the dump station. You can pay online while there. We enjoyed it, but some will find it too remote and rough. There are other choices with hook ups so do those if that's you.
Donna M ★ 5 · Sep 2025Clean,quiet and close to the water. We spent 2 nights listening to the coyotes along the ravines. Saw an eagle and osprey! On our last morning there were 4 dear in camp. Just beautiful. The camp site we chose had morning sun and afternoon shade. Potable water nearby. Really was a great spot for tent camping!
Pam W ★ 4 · Sep 2025Nice campground, day use is clean and very green, campground was brown and very dry, not surprising as we were there the end of August. For a fee there is a dump station with potable water for filling a trailer tank. some of the pull-through sites seemed a little tight with trees on both sides.

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 (12,020 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.
