Beginning January 1, 2025, the National Park Service (NPS) at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area will increase camping and boat launch fees and introduce a new dump station/water fill fee. Fee increases beginning January 1, 2025: Weekly Boat Launch: Good for seven consecutive days. Increasing to $10 per week. Eligible for a 50% discount with an America the Beautiful Annual or Lifetime Senior pass or a Lifetime Access pass. Annual Boat Launch: Good through Dec. 31st of the year printed on the permit. Increasing to $60 per year. Fee increases beginning March 15, 2025: Campgrounds: Spring Canyon, Porcupine Bay, Fort Spokane, Hunters, Gifford, Kettle Falls, Evans. Increasing to $30 per night. No winter fee discount after this date. Eligible for a 50% discount with an America the Beautiful Annual or Lifetime Senior pass or a Lifetime Access pass. All other campgrounds (excluding Keller Ferry, operated by Lake Roosevelt Adventures). Remains $23 per night. No winter fee discount after this date. Eligible for a 50% discount with an America the Beautiful Annual or Lifetime Senior pass or a Lifetime Access pass. Group Campsites: 1-25 person capacity increases to $65 per night. 26-50 person capacity increases to $90 per night. 51-75 person capacity increases to $115 per night. New fee beginning March 15, 2025: Dump station/water fill: $10 per use to dump grey and black water tanks and to fill potable water tanks. Dump Stations: Spring Canyon, Keller Ferry, Fort Spokane, Porcupine Bay, Hunters, Gifford, Kettle Falls, and Evans. One of the requirements for participating in the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA), which allows public lands to charge user entrance and amenity fees, such as camping and boat launch fees, is that federal agencies are to charge fees commensurate with the local area, so as to not undercut the local markets. Camping fees at Lake Roosevelt have not been adjusted since 2021 and boat launch fees have not been adjusted since 2015. They are now lower than the average of the area around the park.
