About Evans Campground

Evans Campground has 44 campsites stretched along the northeastern shore of Lake Roosevelt, a 130-mile reservoir created by Grand Coulee Dam. Sites sit at 1,296 feet elevation among ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and maple. Fees range from $11.50 to $30 per night. The campground accommodates both tents and RVs, though pull-through sites can be tight for larger rigs.

Evans Campground caters primarily to tent and RV camping, offering 44 individual sites without utility hookups. Group camping options are not explicitly detailed.

Historical Significance

St. Paul's Mission sits nearby, along with remnants of Fort Colville and a Hudson Bay Company post that served the Upper Columbia fur trade. Indigenous peoples, fur traders, and missionaries all traveled these waters before Grand Coulee Dam transformed the Columbia River into Lake Roosevelt.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings warm, dry conditions ideal for swimming and boating. Water temperatures climb enough for comfortable lake access. Autumn turns crisp, with mornings cold enough to see your breath. Winter snow blankets the area, though some visitors still use the campground during off-season. Plan around reservoir levels if you're launching a boat. Low water in fall can close the ramp.

ElevationNestled at lake level where the Columbia River transforms into the vast expanse of Lake Roosevelt, Evans Campground offers accessible waterfront camping without the challenges of high-altitude adventures.

Natural Features and SceneryLake Roosevelt winds through ancient volcanic and glacial formations, creating dramatic topography now covered in dense forest. The lake itself holds walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon, and sturgeon. Wildlife includes bald eagles, moose, elk, and deer. Ponderosa pines and Douglas firs provide shade across most sites. The water stretches wide here, offering views that change with the reservoir's seasonal water levels.

Geological RegionEvans Campground sits on the edge of Lake Roosevelt, a remarkable 130-mile ribbon of water that winds through ancient geological formations. Created by the engineering marvel of Grand Coulee Dam, this reservoir has transformed the mighty Columbia River into a recreational wonderland. The surrounding landscape tells a story millions of years in the making, where volcanic activity and glacial carving created the dramatic topography now clothed in dense forests of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and maple—a testament to nature's ability to reclaim and beautify even the most ambitious human endeavors.
