Lake Roosevelt

Lake Roosevelt, probably one of our favorite places to go, we have been camping there for years. We use to go over Fourth of July and stay a week at a time. We would load up our 24 foot pontoon boat with all our camping supplies, the dogs, the kids and the cousins. We would have a blast. Two Rivers Casino would put on a huge firework display for the 4th. We gave up going there over the fourth because it just became to popular of a place to go and became harder and harder to find a campsite each year, so we decided we would go at a different time during the summer in hopes of getting a good camping spot. Then with Matt’s job and selling the pontoon we missed out on camping there the last couple years. We went once in our 16 foot Bayliner (the boat we bought after selling the pontoon) but it just wasn’t the same, we couldn’t haul everything we wanted, the dogs didn’t get to go as we had no room for them. We couldn’t take all 4 kayaks either. But now with the new boat we are back in business. It hauled it all!! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the boat loaded down, next time. So we decided to escape for the weekend and go boat camping. We enjoyed it so much. It’s nice to get away from the phones, the TV, computers, Matt’s radio etc…etc…
Back in the early days. There is always so much to do when camping there; rockhounding (one of my favorite pasttimes) fishing, swimming, boating, tubing, kayaking, toading, playing in the sand.
