Site said spot was 45’ but it was extremely tight with our truck and 5th wheel. But no problems, right in front of boat dock so we could watch boat. But didn’t need to, campground was small and great. Wasn’t too busy when we went. Water was amazing and warm! Host was super nice and cool.

The sites are fairly well spaced, most are close to level, but the parking space is narrow. It's hard to get your RV sitting so you step off into blacktop and not so close to the edge that you break your ankle. They really need to be a foot or two wider. There is plenty of space for the table, fire pit and a tent or two. AT&T has great service. Lots of sites on the water. Plenty of trees for shade in most spots. Nice place to stay.

We were in Site 2, Close to the water but site was very narrow with a steep slope with a sharp asphalt edge right at the steps of our RV. Sites are bit close to each other as well.

Overall pretty happy with our stay! Site #34 isn’t super private. The fire pit is pretty close to the one beside it but it does have a large “lawn” or area for play and set up. The only nice sandy beach is right by the boat launch which is a little walk from the camp site. The rest of the waterline is rocky and full of weeds. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained.

Have recycling at all the campgrounds along Lake Roosevelt. I hate throwing plastic bottles and aluminum cans in the trash. Thanks

Site 3, nice site, if site next to us was occupied, we would have been very close to each other, every site has a wonderful view of lake, worker was very nice, great AT&T cell. Very few campers were there even though the campground was booked up. There was no water or dump station available. Understandable since I was told that due to lake level they couldn't fill water tank.

It was a bit windy because of the weather but it was such a great spot for our family of 5 & 3 dogs. We took our kayaks all over the river.
