This reservable sanctuary accommodates up to 25 adventurers in a single, spacious group site. The campground's thoughtfully designed narrow layout creates an intimate connection with the water, ensuring every camper enjoys sweeping views of the lake's glittering expanse from dawn to dusk.
Evans Group Camp is a group site catering to up to 25 people. It is primarily designed for group gatherings such as family reunions.
Historical SignificanceYour camping adventure unfolds on the shores of Lake Roosevelt, a testament to American ingenuity and ambition. Named in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this magnificent reservoir emerged from the construction of the iconic Grand Coulee Dam. Today, the lake stands as both a recreational haven and a living monument to the region's transformation, preserving natural beauty while serving as a cornerstone of Pacific Northwest history.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms Evans Group Camp into an aquatic paradise, with sun-warmed waters beckoning swimmers and water enthusiasts throughout the long, golden days. As autumn gives way to winter, the landscape dons a blanket of moderate snow, creating a serene wonderland for those who venture here in the quieter months. From May through September, modern amenities including flush toilets enhance your comfort, while the shoulder seasons offer a more rustic experience as water systems transition with the changing temperatures.
ElevationNestled at lake level, Evans Group Camp offers easy access to the water's edge and surrounding recreational opportunities.
Natural Features and SceneryTowering ponderosa pines cast dappled shadows across your campsite, their vanilla-scented bark mixing with the fresh pine fragrance of Douglas firs. Majestic maples paint the landscape with seasonal color, creating a natural cathedral overhead. This diverse ecosystem hosts an impressive cast of wildlife characters—from wandering moose and graceful elk to curious deer. Keep your eyes skyward for the dramatic sight of bald eagles soaring above the lake, while beneath the surface, a fisherman's dream awaits with walleye, bass, rainbow trout, salmon, and prehistoric sturgeon prowling the depths.
Geological RegionEvans Group Camp sits within the dramatic Columbia River valley, where ancient geological forces carved deep channels now filled by Lake Roosevelt's waters. The Grand Coulee Dam transformed this rugged landscape into today's recreational wonderland, creating 130 miles of shoreline backed by thick forests. Here, ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, and maple trees create a verdant tapestry that speaks to the region's volcanic past and the rich soils that support this diverse Pacific Northwest ecosystem.
