Due to changes in Washington State Department of Health well water monitoring regulations for wells under surface water influence, water will not be available at any campground with hand water pumps during the 2019 summer season. This affects water availability at seven campgrounds:

Kettle River Campground
Snag Cove Campground
North Gorge Campground
Marcus Island Campground
Kamloops Island Campground
Cloverleaf Campground
Hawk Creek Campground
Haag Cove Campground

The National Park Service is currently evaluating the situation to find the best solution for the future. If you plan on camping at any of the campgrounds listed above this summer, please make sure to bring water from home.
