Snag Cove Campground

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

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.

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