About this campground

Porcupine Bay Campground is a popular among campers and boaters alike. It is nestled amount ponderosa pines and shrubs along the Spokane Arm of Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Lake Roosevelt is a 130-mile lake of the Columbia River created by the Grand Coulee Dam. Named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it is part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and managed by the National Park Service.

Porcupine Bay lies on the water amidst Ponderosa pines and shrubs. It is located on the Spokane Arm of Lake Roosevelt. The lake has comfortable temperatures during summer, even though much of the water originates from glaciers and snow in the cold, high Canadian Rockies. The lake area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, birds and fish. Porcupine Bay is located along the shoreline of the Spokane River giving it a secluded feel. Birders often see Peregrine falcons, Blue herons, finches, Bald eagles, osprey and even the occasional Golden eagle. The lake is abundant with walleye, bass, rainbow trout and salmon, making it a popular place for fishing throughout the year; however, the bay does freeze in winter.

What campers say

Porcupine Bay Campground is a small, scenic lakeside park with paved RV pads, a sandy beach, and direct access to a public boat launch. Sites have firepits; there are water spigots and restrooms but no showers or hookups—good sun exposure for RV solar. Bring firewood and extra toilet paper, and expect limited cell reception. It can be busy on weekends and some sites are close together, which reduces privacy. A few visitors reported poor water quality later in the season and issues near restroom lighting; advance reservations are advised during peak times.
