Temporarily closed, water level is way down on my visit. Tree pole swing into water 💧. Boat dock too, just land locked at this time. Huge park / camping/ lots of shade / toilets too
My very large family (96 people) have been camping here for 48 years. We used to camp the week of 4th of July but it started to get way to rowdy and the campground was always left littered with burned fireworks and beer bottles/cans which made it hard for the kids to play. We still camp here ever year (except during covid) as it is a long standing tradition. Over the last 10 years the campground has greatly deteriorated. The land is not upkept, neither are the docks, bathrooms, playground, shoreline or RV sites. They hardly come around to pick up trash like they used to. The grass is so dry we water it ourselves and move the sprinklers duebto worrying it might catch fire. The playground has black widows so we bring our own pest control spray to spary around the dock, bathrooms and playground (animal and kid friendly). With how much non-tribe people are being charged ($80 annual pass, to use once a year plus $35/day per tent) it has becoce a huge ripoff. We were advised last year July 2022 that they were building a brand new campground further up in Keller and would no longer be maintaining the Sanpoil campground. Truly disappointing. But we will continue to camp there until we can find land to buy and build on the other side of Lake Roosevelt. It is truly disappointing. Just from our 18 heads of household family alone in 1 week they make over $5800. That's not including the other campers that come and stay.
Camped here since i was a boy
Amazing view, warm water, running water and a bathroom, it's right on the lake, amazing atmosphere it was great I had so much fun staying here and the view of the stars at night was gorgeous, lots of wild life roaming around the lake we spotted black bear, moose and turkeys during our stay..
Feels abandoned. Garbage everywhere bathrooms closed
Fun place for weekend camping with family. There is a playground for kids, and lots of places to explore by the water. Four stars because of high price per night.
