Kettle River Campground campground
Kettle River Campground
The campground offers 29 campsites, including 16 RV sites with electric hookups. There are also several amenities available, including restrooms, showers, a playground, and a picnic area. Fishing is a popular activity in the Kettle River, which is stocked with rainbow trout.
One interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to the Colville Indian Reservation, which was established in 1872. The reservation was later dissolved, and the land was opened up for settlement.
The best time of year to visit the Kettle River Campground is during the summer months, when temperatures average around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, visitors should be prepared for cool nights, as temperatures can drop into the 40s. Spring and fall are also good times to visit, but temperatures can be cooler and rain is more likely.
Overall, the Kettle River Campground is a great destination for those looking to explore the natural beauty and history of eastern Washington.
