Jones Bay Campground

Rugged isolation greets campers at Jones Bay Campground, where gravel and packed dirt sites offer unobstructed views of Lake Roosevelt's shimmering waters. This small, rustic campground provides a genuine off-the-grid experience with just 9 primitive sites nestled along the lakeshore. The lack of amenities is more than compensated for by the serene setting and excellent fishing opportunities right from shore.

Located on the eastern shore of Lake Roosevelt, Jones Bay Campground sits at the bottom of a ravine that opens into a picturesque bay. The surrounding brush steppe landscape lends a desert-like atmosphere, with bitter antelope brush and sage dotting the terrain. Just a short drive from the town of Wilbur, the campground offers easy access to basic supplies while maintaining a sense of remoteness.

Jones Bay Campground caters to those seeking a more primitive camping experience, making it ideal for weekend getaways or extended vacations for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts. The on-site boat launch and dock provide convenient water access for anglers and boaters looking to explore Lake Roosevelt's expansive shoreline. Hiking opportunities in the surrounding area allow campers to immerse themselves in the unique Columbia Basin ecosystem.
