Kettle Falls Locust Grove Group Site

After a couple of years of Locust Grove being closed due to COVID restrictions, our club enjoyed returning for our annual fishing and camping weekend. We even beat the hatch of the mosquitoes this year. By the last evening, we saw a couple skeeters so it won't be long. Water and electric were working, and the restrooms were as clean as you can expect for a pit toilet.

We enjoyed camping here with the exception of nightly homeless squatters who slept in vehicles near the site we paid for. The state patrol and park rangers drove through periodically and even cleared people who were illegally camped out in the morning. We also had a gas can stolen from outside one of the campers parked closer to the road, so my advice is park closer to the picnic gazebo and stay vigilant as always!

The Kettle Falls Locust Grove group campsites were just perfect for our family get together. We rented both site A and B and there was plenty of room. Especially liked the gazebo.

Finding a camp site, reserving a site, registering and check in using the online system is a complete failure. After talking with a very friendly camp host after 8 pm and after trying to use the online system for an hour and a half I found out the online info was completely wrong. According to online there were only 1 group site left. According to host half the park was open. On the information board at the campground cost was listed at 25 is. It ended up costing 55 upon checkout.

On the positive side, the Vault bathrooms were extremely clean and well stocked. The site was well laid out with plenty of parking.

Was very relaxing, love the room in the site.

We chose to stay at this campground for the 4th of July and it was a big mistake. We were immediately attacked by swarms of mosquitoes any time we stepped out of our vehicle or RV. They were EVERYWHERE. The area sits by a swamp-like field that surrounds the campground, and even Deet wouldn't keep the mosquitos away. Do NOT camp here once they raise the water levels in Lake Roosevelt ( around the 4th of July) and this bug cycle starts. It's a beautiful area but a TERRIBLE mosquito problem. We left early due to this and will NOT be camping here again.

Perfect place for our large family reunion! So close to fishing, swimming, walking trails and the baseball field. We had no mosquitoes and perfect weather for the 4 days we stayed. Can't wait for next year! Same time same place!

Camp site was clean. Pavillion was great as usual.

Love group site A. Bathrooms were attended to every morning and garbage cans emptied as well. Just wish there were less mosquitoes.

I love Locust Grove. I attend multiple campouts there every year and the only complaint I have is the mosquitos. I was there in mid June and there were hardly any. A month later and they were numerous and hungry. The only difference was the lake level so I'm guessing the area between the campsite and the lake was dry in June but flooded when the lake level rose. It would be great if the forst service could fog the area but other than that, the rangers were friendly and took great care of us while we were there.
