Campgrounds near Kettle Falls, Washington
Kettle Falls sits in northeast Washington on the upper Columbia River, where the river widens into Lake Roosevelt. Lake Roosevelt is a 130-mile lake on the Columbia River created by Grand Coulee Dam, named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt and managed by the National Park Service as part of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The recreation area offers more than 20 campgrounds along the shoreline, making the town a practical base for RV travelers heading to the water.
The area pairs federal lakeside camping with state forest sites and private RV parks. The surrounding Colville National Forest reaches into the Kettle River Range and Selkirk Mountains, putting trails, lakes, and dispersed sites close at hand. Closer options include North Lake RV Park and Campground, Rocky Lake and Sheep Creek managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Chewelah Golf and Country Club, and Cascade Cove RV Park and Campground.
Kettle Falls itself is a supply stop with grocery stores, fuel, and a National Park Service visitor center, useful for restocking between stays at less-developed campgrounds.
Things to do near Kettle Falls
Lake Roosevelt drives most of the recreation. The lake area is abundant with wildlife including moose, elk, deer, and bald eagles, and dozens of fish species inhabit the lake, such as walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon, and sturgeon, with sturgeon fishing now allowed during a limited season. Boat launches, swimming, and water skiing are common from shoreline campgrounds, and the Kettle Falls Marina has a snack shop next to the boat ramp.
On land, the Colville National Forest holds extensive hiking, mountain biking, and horseback routes. The Sherman Pass Scenic Byway on Highway 20 between Republic and Kettle Falls climbs over the highest year-round pass in Washington. History stops include the Kettle Falls Historical Center, St. Paul's Mission, and the site of Old Kettle Falls overlooking the lake. In winter, the 49 Degrees North Mountain Resort near Chewelah offers chairlift-served skiing and a network of marked runs.

The practical RV season runs late spring through early fall. At Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area campgrounds, water faucets are turned on May 1st to September 30, weather permitting, and flush toilets follow the same schedule. The Kettle Falls Campground individual sites are reserved on a roughly six-month rolling window, while some lakeside sites stay open year-round with reduced services and no plowing in winter.
Summer brings heat, low humidity, and peak demand. Reservations should be booked well ahead for summer weekends, and mosquito repellent is useful around wooded sites in early summer. Fire restrictions tighten quickly: fires are permitted in the fire rings year-round, except when the fire danger rating reaches a critical level as indicated by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources for the area that includes Lake Roosevelt NRA.
Shoulder-season trips in May, early June, and September are quieter. Snow in Kettle Falls usually begins around November and ends by March, with about 48 inches per year, which limits winter access on gravel forest roads.
How to book campgrounds near Kettle Falls
Federal sites in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area are reserved through Recreation.gov. Kettle Falls Campground has 74 sites and is by reservation only, with individual sites released on a six-month rolling basis. The Locust Grove group sites can be reserved up to one year in advance and at least seven days ahead. All changes and cancellations must be made through Recreation.gov, and cancelling the day before or on the day of arrival forfeits the first night's use fee.
Washington DNR campgrounds, including Rocky Lake and Sheep Creek, work differently. Campsites are first-come, first-served with the purchase of a Discover Pass, with a limited number of reservation sites only at the Elbe Hills ORV Campground. The annual Discover Pass is transferable between two vehicles and must be displayed in the front windshield while parked at DNR sites.
Private parks such as North Lake RV Park and Campground, Cascade Cove RV Park and Campground, and the RV sites at Chewelah Golf and Country Club book directly through the operator.
What to expect at Kettle Falls campgrounds
Most lakeside sites are forested, with shaded pads on uneven ground. Many sites require leveling, so bring blocks even at developed loops. Hookups are limited at federal and DNR sites: at Lake Roosevelt campgrounds there are no electricity, water, or sewer site hookups, so plan for self-contained camping with a generator and a full tank of water. Full hookups are generally found only at private RV parks.
Services are basic but functional. Most campgrounds have vault toilets, while showers are limited to private resorts and RV parks. Dump stations are available at several Lake Roosevelt campgrounds for a small fee. Wildlife includes elk, deer, moose, and black bears, so secure food storage matters.
Cell service is patchy in the forest interior, and moving firewood is discouraged: obtain firewood near the destination and burn it on-site to prevent the spread of tree-killing pests.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Kettle Falls, WA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Kettle Falls, WA?
RV rental in Kettle Falls is one of the better values in Washington, with most nightly rates falling between $95 and $250 depending on the rig. Compact campervans and travel trailers tend to land on the lower end, while spacious Class A and Class C motorhomes built for families sit higher. To find a cheap RV rental in Kettle Falls, aim for midweek pickups, shoulder-season dates in May or September, and trips of five nights or longer (many hosts offer weekly discounts). Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to spot last-minute deals, and message hosts directly to ask about flexible pricing on shorter trips around the Lake Roosevelt area.
nps.gov/laro/planyourvisit/camping.htmDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Kettle Falls, WA?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Kettle Falls. Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) confirms that recreational vehicle drivers are not subject to Commercial Driver License (CDL) requirements when driving for personal use, and virtually every RV on RVezy falls well under the 26,001-pound CDL threshold. To book through RVezy, you'll need to be at least 25 years old with a valid license, and you'll verify your ID right inside the platform. Visiting from abroad? Grab an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country before your trip and you're set for your Kettle Falls RV trip.
dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/commercial-driver-licenses-cdl/do-i-need-cdlIs RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included in Kettle Falls?
Every RV rental in Kettle Falls booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 395 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your coverage level during checkout (not the host) so you can pick what fits your group. If you have a flat tire on the way to Lake Roosevelt or a battery issue at the campground, one phone call gets help dispatched. It removes the biggest worries first-time renters carry and is a key reason renting an RV in Kettle Falls feels low-risk.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat happens if I need to cancel my Kettle Falls RV rental?
Booking your RV rental in Kettle Falls is low-risk because RVezy (not the individual host) sets the cancellation policy. The policy includes a grace-period window for a full refund shortly after booking, and after that the refund amount depends on how far in advance you cancel. You can review the full policy on the RVezy Help Center before confirming. If a host cancels on you, RVezy issues a refund or travel credit so your trip plans stay protected. Pro tip: book early for July and August so you have flexibility, then lock in your favorite Lake Roosevelt campsite once your dates are firm.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I find a pet-friendly RV rental in Kettle Falls, WA?
Yes, a pet-friendly RV rental in Kettle Falls is easy to find: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area allows leashed pets at Kettle Falls Campground and on most trails, including the loop near St. Paul's Mission, and Colville National Forest dispersed sites are also leash-friendly. Pro tip: message your host before booking to confirm any pet fee, and pack a long lead so your dog can enjoy the shoreline of the Columbia River safely.
nps.gov/laro/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Kettle Falls?
Yes, RV delivery in Kettle Falls is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers. Many local hosts will tow your travel trailer or fifth wheel right to Kettle Falls Campground, Marcus Island, Evans Campground, or a private lot, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means you skip the stress of backing a rig into a forested site overlooking Lake Roosevelt. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and ask the host about delivery fees by mileage. Most charge a flat rate within 20 to 30 miles of Kettle Falls, which is unbeatable value for a stress-free start.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234061How far can I drive on an RV road trip from Kettle Falls?
You can cover a lot of beautiful country on an RV road trip from Kettle Falls. Spokane sits about 80 miles south on Highway 395 (roughly 1 hour 45 minutes), Grand Coulee Dam is about 75 miles southwest, Republic and the Ferry County Rail Trail are 45 miles west on Highway 20, and Colville National Forest trailheads are within 30 minutes. Heading further, Glacier National Park in Montana is around 350 miles east, and the Canadian border at Laurier is only 30 miles north. Each host sets their own mileage policy, so look for listings advertising RV rental with unlimited mileage if you're planning a longer loop through the Selkirks.
fs.usda.gov/colvilleWhere are the best campgrounds near Kettle Falls, WA?
The best campgrounds near Kettle Falls put you right on the water or deep in the pines. Kettle Falls Campground in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area has 74 forested sites with a multi-lane boat launch and is reservable through Recreation.gov. Marcus Island and Evans Campground (also Lake Roosevelt) are quieter waterfront options just north of town. North Lake RV Park sits at the confluence of the Kettle River and Lake Roosevelt with full hookups. Sheep Creek and Pierre Lake offer free or low-cost Colville National Forest sites about 30 minutes away. Pro tip: book Lake Roosevelt sites six months ahead for July weekends, they fill the day the window opens.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234061When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Kettle Falls?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Kettle Falls runs from late May through late September, when daytime highs climb from the comfortable 60s into the 80s and the Lake Roosevelt water faucets are turned on (May 1 to September 30 at the national park campgrounds). July and August are warm and dry, perfect for swimming and boating, with average highs around 80°F. June and September deliver fewer crowds and cooler nights in the 40s, ideal for campfires. Winter is genuinely cold here, with January lows near 16°F and significant snow, so most campgrounds and many hosts pause bookings between November and April.
weather.gov/otx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Kettle Falls?
You'll be just fine, first time renting an RV in Kettle Falls is genuinely beginner-friendly. The roads here are mostly wide two-lane highways like US 395 and SR 20, with passing lanes, light traffic, and no big-city congestion to navigate. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering the propane, slide-outs, dump valves, and driving tips. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, choose a host who offers delivery and setup so the motorhome rental in Kettle Falls is waiting for you, plugged in and ready. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C or travel trailer for your first trip, you'll feel confident within an hour.
wsdot.wa.gov/travel/real-time/mapWhat happens if the RV breaks down on my Kettle Falls trip?
You won't be stranded. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Sherman Pass, a dead battery at Boulder Beach, or a lockout at the Kettle Falls Visitor Center is one phone call away from help. You can also message your host directly through the RVezy app, and local hosts often know mechanics in Colville (about 10 miles south) or can troubleshoot common issues like a tripped GFCI or a stuck slide-out. Pro tip: snap photos during your walkthrough so you know exactly where the fuse panel and water shutoff are if anything pops up on the road.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Kettle Falls RV rental into Canada or another state?
Cross-border trips are very doable from Kettle Falls, the Laurier port of entry is just 30 miles north and a popular gateway to British Columbia's Boundary Country and the Kootenays. Most RVezy hosts allow travel into Canada with advance approval, since insurance coverage extends across the border, but you'll want to message the host before booking to confirm and get any paperwork sorted. Travel into Idaho and Montana on a Kettle Falls RV road trip is generally unrestricted. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection package and insurance do not extend there. Bring your passport for any Canada crossing.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goHow much should I budget for fuel on an RV trip in Kettle Falls?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost on any RV trip, and Kettle Falls is honest country: gas in Stevens County tends to run slightly above the Washington state average, often $4.40 to $4.90 per gallon. Plan on 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for a Class C motorhome, 10 to 14 MPG for a campervan, and 12 to 16 MPG for a truck towing a travel trailer. A 200-mile loop through Republic, Curlew Lake, and back to Kettle Falls runs roughly $80 to $110 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Colville before heading west on Highway 20, prices drop noticeably compared to remote stations on the Ferry County side.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Kettle Falls?
For peak summer trips, book your campsite as soon as the reservation window opens. Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area sites (including Kettle Falls Campground, Evans, and Marcus Island) are reservable through Recreation.gov six months in advance, and July and August weekends typically sell out the morning the window opens. Washington State Parks like Crawford State Park also use a six-month window via the Washington State Parks reservation system. For shoulder season (May, September, October), two to four weeks ahead is usually plenty. Pro tip: if you strike out on a reservation, North Lake RV Park and several private Colville-area parks often have midweek openings even in July.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234061What are driving conditions like around Kettle Falls?
Driving conditions around Kettle Falls are mostly easy, but a few local realities are worth knowing. US 395 and SR 20 are well-maintained two-lane highways with passing lanes, gentle grades, and stunning Columbia River views. Sherman Pass (5,575 feet) on SR 20 west of Kettle Falls is the highest year-round pass in Washington, beautiful in summer but it can see surprise snow as late as June and as early as September. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk year-round, and check the WSDOT real-time travel map before crossing Sherman Pass. Pro tip: cell service drops between Kettle Falls and Republic, download offline maps before you leave town.
wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mapWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Kettle Falls?
Campground amenities near Kettle Falls range from full-service to wonderfully rustic. Kettle Falls Campground in Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area offers flush toilets, potable water (May 1 to September 30), and a dump and fill station for a small fee, but no individual hookups. North Lake RV Park and Black Beach Resort provide full hookups (water, sewer, 30 and 50 amp electric), and Black Beach has a boat launch and convenience store. For dumping and freshwater fills, the Lake Roosevelt dump station and the Kettle Falls city facility are both convenient. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot freshwater hose and a sewer hose support, the forested sites are not always perfectly level.
nps.gov/laro/planyourvisit/cg-kettlefalls.htmWhat's typically included in an RV rental in Kettle Falls?
RVs on RVezy come ready to camp on Lake Roosevelt. You can expect a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave), real beds for everyone, an indoor bathroom with shower in most Class B, Class C, and travel trailer rentals, heat, air conditioning, and seatbelts for every passenger. Many rigs include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and a generator or solar setup, perfect for boondocking in Colville National Forest. Wi-Fi is hit or miss in this part of Washington regardless of the rig, so plan to enjoy the digital detox. Pro tip: filter listings by sleeps count and check the photos carefully, hosts list exactly what's included so there are no surprises.
nps.gov/laro/planyourvisit/things2do.htmWhat add-ons and features can I expect with a Kettle Falls RV rental?
RVezy hosts in the Kettle Falls area offer a great range of optional add-ons to customize your trip: kitchen kits, bedding bundles, camping chairs, fishing gear, generators, bike racks, and tow packages are common, usually $10 to $50 each. Pickup is typically at the host's location in Kettle Falls, Colville, or Chewelah, with delivery available to most Lake Roosevelt campgrounds. Mileage policies vary, some hosts include 100 free miles per night while others offer truly unlimited mileage, which is great for the Sherman Pass and International Selkirk Loop crowd. Read the listing carefully and message the host with any questions before booking, they're typically very quick to respond.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/colville/recarea/?recid=82161How do payment and the security deposit work for a Kettle Falls RV rental?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking, not in cash to the host. Your total covers the nightly rate, any add-ons you select, your chosen renter protection plan, and applicable taxes. A refundable security deposit is held separately by RVezy before pickup and released after the trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid any issues, do a thorough walkthrough at pickup, take date-stamped photos inside and out, and report any pre-existing scratches in the RVezy app right away. That five-minute habit keeps your full deposit safe.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Kettle Falls in winter, and is it worth it?
Winter RV rentals in Kettle Falls are possible but limited, and the right rig turns the cold into an adventure. Look for four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and reliable propane furnaces, then plan to stay at a park with year-round shore power like a few private spots near Colville. January lows average near 16°F and Kettle Falls sees significant snowfall, so winterized plumbing matters. The payoff: 49 Degrees North ski resort is about an hour south, snowmobile trails run right out of Sherman Pass, and you'll have the Columbia River shoreline practically to yourself. Message hosts on RVezy to confirm winter availability before booking.
