The camping spot was perfect - shaded, clean, quiet, soft ground for a tent, two parking spots, and right alongside Lake Bonaparte. Firewood was easily found on the grounds. Restrooms are close by but there was no note of showers. There is a resort just down the road where you can get basic supplies and have breakfast in the morning. I was tickled by seeing my name on the placard when I pulled in for the dates I reserved. Friendly attendant :).

Everything was in good shape, and the lake was beautiful and not cold.

On a beautiful lake in a fairly remote location. We enjoyed swimming in the lake. We didn't have a boat nor did we fish, but I imagine that this would be an excellent place for both. I've never seen so many fish jumping as I did here in the early morning. The sound of the loons was beautiful and enchanting. The campground was well-maintained and cared for. There was no cell coverage for me, but that was a plus in my book.

From the moment we arrived at our campsite, #25 near the water, and were greeted by a mama duck and her 5 ducklings, the entire experience was delightful. What a beautiful place!

There were several unruly campers that the camp host did not enforce for all posted rules. (Noise ordinance meaning generators running all night long and dogs running all over in our camps and running in front of kids on bikes and causing them to crash.). There was a gentleman that came up from Trails and Rec. out of Tonasket and cleared a spot for our boat at our campsite. His name was Damien Ramon. This was very much appreciated!! We have been camping here just about every year for over 30 years and are enjoying making memories now with our grandkids. This trip was a little stressful because of other unruly campers. We love Bonaparte Lake!!!
