Gifford Group Site

How does a tranquil campfire on the shoreline of a 130-mile lake, framed by a forest of towering Ponderosa pines, sound for your next group adventure? The Gifford Group Site in Gifford, Washington, offers a serene escape with its prime location along the forested banks of Lake Roosevelt, providing stunning panoramic views of the lake and abundant opportunities for boating, fishing, and wildlife observation. Crafted for gatherings of up to 50 people, this site combines natural beauty with essential conveniences like picnic tables, fire pits, and a year-round boat launch.

Located within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and set apart from urban disruptions, the Gifford Group Site is a relaxing haven for families, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. While the group site has no utility hookups, campers benefit from potable water (seasonal), vault toilets, and direct lake access for swimming and fishing. Nearby, the Gifford Ferry offers a unique experience, providing free crossings of the Columbia River every 15 minutes. Note that the surrounding area is quiet and remote, so campers should arrive prepared with all necessary supplies since shopping options are minimal within a 30-minute drive. Whether for a weekend retreat or a longer getaway, the Gifford Group Site delivers a memorable outdoor experience centered on nature and camaraderie.
