About This Access Site
Porcupine Bay Campground offers convenient water access on the Spokane Arm of Lake Roosevelt, a 130-mile reservoir created by the Grand Coulee Dam. The campground features a boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, making it an ideal base for exploring this expansive water body. The 31 non-electric campsites are nestled among ponderosa pines and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis year-round. Day-use areas with picnic tables are also available for paddlers launching for the day.

**Practical Information:** The campground operates year-round, though drinking water is shut off in winter and roads are not plowed during snow. There is a free dump station and water fill-up available for RVs. Maximum occupancy is two units and 10 people per site. The site is located west of Davenport on the Spokane Arm, which is generally calmer than the main reservoir and suitable for various paddling skill levels. During summer, the campground offers a free amphitheater and scheduled recreational activities. For specific current fees, hours, and reservation policies, contact the campground at 509-725-2271 or check Recreation.gov.
