Spring Canyon Campground
We camp here all the time we visit the Dam. It has no Power or water at the sites. We are ok with that. Great place to take the boat. Never too crowded, awesome weather, can see the back side of the dam. Great dock for the boats with fresh water for engine flushing...

Camping at Fort Spokane within Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area
Our first trip to Fort Spokane Campground was at the end of the summer season. The campground was quiet, but the boat launch was still buzzing. We were impressed with the space each site is allocated, but not with the lack of privacy per site. The sites mostly have adequate shade throughout the day from the pine trees, we just wish there were some shrubbery to divide up the sites. Each site has large pull-though parking pads, which makes getting trailers, motor homes and boats easy in and out. Had we gotten to the campgrounds earlier, we would have chosen a tent site only because they are secluded from the rest of the campground and have a private vault toilet, which would have provided us tenters more peace from the motor home and trailer generators. About every other site has a water spigot providing fresh drinkable water. Unfortunately, we came too late in the season to explore Fort Spokane, but we did access the Spokane River from the campground and spent some time in the water with our dogs cooling off and ride our bikes all over the campground and boat launch. The campground itself has 67 sites, dump station, playgrounds, hiking trails, beach access, boat launch/docks, flush and vault toilets and fish cleaning stations. We would go back only during the slower seasons just because mid-season would be really busy with no privacy when we like to camp for the nature, not for boating and this is more of a campground for boaters who will spend more time in the water then at the camp site.
