We stopped in here to check it out and go birding. The gate was closed. There is still room to park an RV overnight, but you're right next to the interstate. Frenchman's Coulee is a better choice if you want some peace and quiet.

Stayed here for 2 nights as we weren’t in a hurry to our next location. The cell service is great. There’s really only one spot for a bigger rig to park at (by the lake.)

This area isn’t much of a campground and you wouldn’t want to spend an extensive amount of time at but I stayed here for two nights while breaking up a long trip. I was the only one here during the two evenings during the weekday. Did have some day visitors fishing in the late afternoon and evenings but everyone is always packed up for sunset. There’s not much to do in the area other than fish. There is a pit toilet if needed and had great AT&T cell service. Would recommend this for a night or two at a time

Easy to access from interstate, very pretty ponds with butterflies, flowers and bird life. AT&T was great. Some road noise but not bad, the parking lot had a perfect RV back in site right next to the water. Pit toilet for those that need it.

You can hear the great in the distance. Very doable. Any rv fits but maybe 4 or 5 max....
Tents ok but a bit rocky.
It's a beautiful place on the small lakes..... fairly level as well.
Might be some fish in there who knows. Through it a hook and let us know!

Stayed here over night headed to Colville for turkey season. Easy access for our 30ft camper. A little close to the highway so you hear everything but for free, not bad at all. Morning sunrise and lake front wasn’t bad either. We would stop in again.

A fisherman’s pull out on a pretty little lake surrounded by sage and a bit dusty. We observed about 6 pickups of fishermen. Several different kinds of ducks and a beautiful sunrise. The freeway is close by and we heard it but not as noisy as we expected. Great little spot.
