Nicholson Beach Campground

WOW! My mind has been blown by these gorgeous boat-in campsites. It's the Hawaii of Washington. Warm lake, sandy beaches, shallow sand bars, cliff jumping, shady tent spot, seriously has it all. I can't believe I have lived in WA most of my life and never been to Banks Lake. Bring something to cook with if you go during a burn ban as the campsite grills aren't available for use, there is an outhouse toilet and potable water. In July there were no bugs so skip the bug spray and just bring more sunscreen. We did see a rattlesnake at our campsite so be aware, the people camping next to us had been coming there for 18years though and never seen a rattle snake before.

Always a great place to cool off with the family! Be Respectful of the land and others please! Locals are working hard to keep it a great family fun destination..

Beautiful, even with the smoke from the fires

one of the oldest beach spots on the colville reservation. Known for clear blue alkaline water and cliffs and trails, and wall eye fishing, sacred to the colville people and to all those who like the outdoors.

It's a good spot to swim just no shade but still nice spot got a spot on side of hill u can jump off the rock
