Natural Features The site is situated in a thick Ponderosa pine forest that provides plenty of shade. The lake area is abundant with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer osprey and bald eagles. Dozens of species of fish inhabit the lake. Much of the water in the lake originates from glaciers and snowmelt from the cold, high Canadian Rockies. Although, lake temperatures are pleasant to swim in during summer. contact_info This location is unstaffed. To speak with our main office for general information, please call: (509) 754-7889.

Our Take

What makes Gifford Campground special

Gifford Campground sits on the northern shoreline of Lake Roosevelt, offering 42 well-positioned sites with views that make waking up here feel like a reward in itself. Long popular with hunters and fishermen who know the area's bounty, Gifford has also become a favorite for families seeking waterfront camping with real substance. A boat launch puts you on the water quickly, and a sandy beach gives kids and swimmers a place to splash around all afternoon. The surrounding landscape is classic eastern Washington — rolling hills, open sky, and that unmistakable high-desert light at golden hour. Summer is the busiest and best season for swimming and boating, while fall draws hunters to the surrounding hills. Reserve ahead during peak months, bring sun protection since shade can be limited at some sites, and stock up on supplies before arriving as services are sparse nearby. Gifford is ideal for outdoors families, fishing groups, and hunters looking for a reliable base camp with lakefront access.
