Overview

Snag Cove is a small, fairly isolated campground located on the western side of Lake Roosevelt. Eight out of the nine sites are on the lake shore and all sites are open to tents and RVs. A boat launch with trailer parking and courtesy dock frames one side of the campground. Because of its size and popularity, Snag Cove often fills in the summer.

Recreation

Snag Cove Campground is popular with families, hunters and fishermen to camp and boat. They can easily access Lake Roosevelt for shoreline fishing, or use the ramp to launch their boat.

Facilities

Snag Cove has 9 sites that are reservation only plus a nice boat ramp to launch your boat.

Natural Features

Beautiful little campground with boat launch sitting along the edge of Lake Roosevelt, nestled in a pine forest.

The description, directions and fees are the National Park Service’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
