Interlude: a time to reflect between destinations?

Yes, you’ve heard it before … no-one camps in the winter. Except us, of course. Campgrounds and camp sites are deserted – it’s like a private compound wherever you decide to stay!

Lots of space here!

Inchelium was relocated in the 1940’s when Grand Coulee Dam created Lake Roosevelt.
