About North Gorge Campground

North Gorge is a small, but popular, campground at the northeast edge of the park. A few sites are large enough for an RV, but most are built for tent camping. The campground is set in a grove of pines on the edge of the lake. A boat launch and dock are on the north or right side of the main loop. In the summer, North Gorge is busy on the weekends.

Campers in other camp sites partied loudly all night! Need enforcement of quiet hours and a posted number to call if enforcement is needed! Other than that it’s a great campground!

The fire ring was full of garbage along with garbage on the ground but the worst part was the 100s of cigarette butts everywhere. This was the filthiest campground I’ve stayed at ever in my life. You gotta get someone in there to clean it up.

Not busy this time of year. We had site 7 in a 19 ft. camper van, which has a nice view of river and is a bit removed from the highway and the train noise. Bathroom needed a little TLC, but not bad.

The camp site has a gorgeous view…the bathrooms are clean but the hand sanitizer was never refilled in last 3 weeks. There also is a need for some pruning and perhaps a rake for the zillion pine needles

Generally a quiet and secluded small campground but it has its downsides. The tent sites on the upper loop are very worn and way too small to allow anything but a small tent. The boat ramp can be busy and very disruptive, especially by the early morning launchers who let their engines run and make no effort to keep their headlights off campers and tents. Parking is very limited in the boat ramp area and there can often be a lot of parked vehicles clogging up the lower campground. Particularly distressing is the use of the small campground dumpster by locals dumping their residential garbage. There is a large sign on the dumpster that reads "campers only" yet the locals feel it is their personal waste transfer station, disgorging many bags of garbage every day. Evidently some people in Stevens Country have no problem letting the government pay for their garbage disposal.

Camp site 1 indicates it can have a 26 ft trailer which is not the case un less you back up all thr way down the lane.

Had a great time!!
Only issue I had was all the dead fish in the water by the swim dock.
I think they were fish that had been cleaned and filleted there and carcasses thrown in water.
It stunk and no one would swim there.
Other than that we had a quiet relaxing weekend.
