The Campground was free of garbage however the Campsites and trails were somewhat overgrown with noxious weeds. Hundreds of Pinecones were on the ground within the campsite perimeters. I felt the site was neglected and in need of attention. Overall a very beautiful location, the lake was refreshing to swim in. The Vegetation was extremely dry for mid June. A Red Flag warning with high winds pushed us out a day earlier than we anticipated leaving.

One way in and one way out. Other than the drive to the campground, which was a little bigger than a 1 car road with quite a bit of wash boarding. AMAZING campground, will definitely be going back! The water was extremely low this time of year but still fun on the paddle boards.

It's always great to be at Jones Bay. The campground is small and so off the beaten path that there is only people there that enjoy the experience of getting away from the noise of civilization. We have never in the years we have been going there had loud neighbors keeping us awake at night. It is worth not having running water and pit toilets only to be in such a beautiful place. If you love just enjoying peace and quiet and splendid scenery this is the right place. Beware that your auto will need major cleaning when you get home as there are miles of dusty gravel roads to get there.

Jones Bay Campground is about 18 mi north of Wilbur, WA situated on Lake Roosevelt out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by range land, farmland and forest. The roads to the campground are a mix of paved & dirt or dirt w/gravel. Some wash boarding on the dirt/gravel roads and did go down to one lane the closer you got to the campground, but all in all decent roads. It's a small campground, with 2 tent sites and 7 RV sites, each has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a vault toilet, but no trash service so "Pack In/Pack Out". The campground does have a boat launch and 2 floating piers/docks. We were the only campers there and saw no one else other than a couple that came to fish and several very friendly rangers (was told it was graduation week in the neighboring towns and due to the cooler temps). They were doing some work at Grand Coulee Dam, so while we were there the water was 10' or more. It was very quiet and peaceful, and we would definitely come again if we were in the neighborhood. Site 3 was large enough for our 32' TT and 22' truck, had a little shade and did need some leveling. Road within the campground was easy to navigate.

Wilbur and the surrounding small towns have small markets, fuel, and restaurants but would recommend having supplies, fuel and water before arriving.
