Overview

Hawk Creek Campground is tucked back from the lake on Hawk Creek. The campground is popular, but small enough to feel private and secluded. A small waterfall adds ambiance to this beautiful and unique campground. Hawk Creek is close to Fort Spokane Visitor Center, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. A courtesy dock provides access to Lake Roosevelt.

Recreation

A small boat ramp provides access to the water. This is a popular place to fish, bird watch, kayak, canoe or simply take a hike through the ravine to the confluence where Hawk Creek meets the Columbia River.

Facilities

The campground has 20 individual sites. It is open year-round, however it is not plowed in the winter

This campground is by reservation only. No first come sites available.

Natural Features

Hawk Creek is nestled in a beutiful ravine with a water fall near the campground. The geological beauty is astonding as you boat out to the confluence.
