Marcus Island Campground

They're fairly well kept up but most sites are way too close together! If I could get one of the end spots I would rate it Very Good. Tents are almost touching with the other campsites... Invite a friend if you you are concerned...

Nice quiet campground on Lake Roosevelt!

Love campsite 15, but this last stay the neighbour's across from us were not great. Being right by the water is awesome and so enjoyable.

Great place to spend some time with nature !

A very beautiful place to go camping. Amazing to look out the RV window and see the water, even in the middle of the night! Also all the stars. This was a bird lovers paradise, many different birds.

Only negative was the mosquitos

I would not like to post a public review. Thank you.

Oh boy I have a lot to say. Marcus island is lovely. And the whole drive there, nearby towns of kettle falls and Colville and chewelah also lovely. Like breathtaking. The are is fantastic. We already booked a trip back but with more knowledge of the campground now. I caught a fish which in 46 years I have never successfully done. And I failed to reel in two other fish. So if you like fishing. Even shore fishing. This is the place for you. The drive there is seamless no scary parts at all (I have driving anxiety) the views are fantastic. The water is surprisingly not cold for being a huge lake/columbia river. That said. You need to choose your site carefully. I tent camp. Honestly I am not sure this place is perfect for tent camping I think maybe it’s made for the rv people. But I’m doing it anyway and so did a few others. A lot of the site are better for rvs than tents. Site 11 which I was in was good for tents but did not get enough shade and it was a heatwave 98-100 degrees all weekend. Shade is an issue in a lot of the sites. Second. The bathroom doors do not lock. They have a lock but the lock doesn’t lock properly on either one. That is not great. I had to sing every time I was in there to make sure nobody walked in. There is NO attendant. Nobody is in charge. I have no idea who even verifies people have paid. It seems like the honor system. Someone changes the toilet paper but other than that and the fire dept coming around on the 4th of July several times I had no idea who we answer to. It’s anarchy. But everything was peaceful. Finally if you do not have a boat of some sort you may not enjoy the water as much. We have kayaks and if we hadn’t the water access would leave us little beach and an unsafe one at that. A weird one next to the dock. We would kayak to secluded beaches to fish and swim. It’s fun but don’t expect beach life. It’s rocks and rushes. Choose your campsite well. tour in advance if you can. Love this place though!

This is a lovely private campsite. So scenic, and when the inlet has water in it, it's a great place to launch paddle boards and kayaks.

Marcus Island is a favorite campground close to home. Geese, bald eagles, and a carpet of pink stork bill wildflowers could be seen all around.
