Spring Canyon

Spring Canyon is in a grand setting with large, gorgeous views. The campground is up on the hillside and, of course, the Columbia, where we spent most of our time, playing in the River, is below. This meant a lot of climbing up and down.

This campground is a short walk from Lake Roosevelt, set on a hillside with mostly gravel sites and a few trees for shade. The campsites themselves are quite small and very close (directly contiguous with) other campsites, so be prepared for being close to your neighbors! The campground was also fairly loud and busy, with lots of RVs, generators, kids and general hubbub.

The Campground Host was in camp, but needed to be out circulating in the campground. They were never seen outside their camper. There were people riding ATVs on the roads that were causing a safety hazard and many tents on one site.

Sites are very close together and when we were there mostly tenters that makes it hard for small RVs. There were too many tents and tarps on each site with many people- more than 8 at each location. Very loud after 10PM. We left after one night. Could not stand the noise.

Campgrounds in upper area are very small. The sprinklers didn’t turn on Friday night but on Saturday we got soaked while sitting and talking in the grass.

Spring Canyon is a lovely area with an outstanding beach. The campground itself was quite crowded, with campgrounds really packed in very close to each other; it almost felt like we were camping on top of our neighbors. Additionally, only a few of the campgrounds seemed to have flat areas for tents. We ended up pitching out tent on the gravel drive, as did many of the other campers there, as that was the only flat spot at the campground. There were water spigots around, but no one knew if the water was potable and the campground host was nowhere to be found to answer questions or address concerns. The only sure potable water was at an RV pump station that was pay per use. While I would certainly recommend visiting Spring Canyon, the camping experience was not what I hoped it would be. It was a very close-quarters camping experience and we should've brought our own water. That said, we still enjoyed our stay and loved recreating at the Spring Canyon beach.

We had a 29ft trailer and a full size pick up. It was difficult to get our trailer into the space. Even tho it said it could accommodate 30ft

Nice beach for lake recreation.

Really nice place to stay. The canopy’s in the upper campground were unusual but provide cover from the summer sun. Not so good for solar panels but provided great shade. Watch your overhead clearance. Excellent location for visit to Grand Coulee Dam.

Only stayed one night. Reservation required. Couldn't find the green sheet to fill out and put in the spot. Spots were really close together and bathrooms were not clean. It was fairly easy to get to the beach and water area.
