June is the perfect time to unplug from everyday life and head to the mountains. Imagine breathing in fresh mountain air next to a campfire under a star-strewn sky. The Okanogan offers a variety of camping experiences, from full-service luxury RV parks to state and city parks, as well as national forest, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and state campgrounds.
The Colville Indian Reservation also offers camping opportunities, with some sites open to tribal members only and others open to the general public. Activities like swimming, boating, fishing, and hiking await you.
