Established in 1974 by the Bell Family it had been Bell RV Park until our purchase of the park in 2017. With new owners and new upgrades to the park we felt it fitting to rename the park after the creek that flows to the north of the property, hence Goose Creek RV Park & Campground.
Nestled in the rolling hills of wheat country, Goose Creek RV Park takes pride in its 5 acres of mature trees and landscape patio sites and cozy cabin rentals.
Located on the east side in the town of Wilbur and walking distance to shopping and eateries. Swimming, golfing and pickle ball courts are all just minutes away.
Come relax and unwind you will experience quite starry nights and wildlife that roams the park.
Other attractions for summertime fun are Lake Roosevelt and Grand Coulee Dam, hiking and kayaking ion and around other smaller lakes in the area!
Spokane International Airport and rental cars just an hour away.
Hope to see you here in 2022!

There was originally a camper parked here with a roof over it while the main house was built back in th 1970s. When the home was finished the camper was moved out and it was turned into the cabin. It originally had a wood stove but it was always to hot so we replaced it with an electric heater and at the same time remodeled the interior. It is very comfortable for two to three people as it only has the bunk beds, microwave, small closet and dining table with 4 chairs including a rocker and a cabinet with pots, pans and silverware for your convenience.
Learn more about this land:
Country cabin is on the treeline at the base of O'tool mt. across the street from Lk. Roosevelt. Includes bunk beds, frig, microwave, hot plate, coffee pot, toaster, dining table, small closet, firepit with firewood and horseshoe pits with shoes. One mile to boat launch. Ten miles to nearest loaf of bread. Close to logging roads. You will have aprox. one acre to yourself. Quiet and secluded. We are close by if ever there is anything you need.
Recently we were very close to the Crown Creek fire and a hotshot crew came and "prept" our property and cut down a lot of the underbrush therefore changing the landscape around the cabin so the main picture has changed to the current one.

GAEA (the old Greek spelling of Mother Earth) is the name of our property.
Historically, Deep Creek Canyon was a winter encampment for the Spokane Indians, whose ancestral lands surround us. We feel the healing spirit of the land, in partnership and stewardship. Our original house was one of the first in the canyon, in the early 1940's.
There’s a map of the 5 acres that leads you to hidden features, like the gypsy fortune-telling tea house, a fairy mound at the base of a huge fir tree, a yoga platform, and a Buddha bench for contemplating or conversation.
We are in a forested canyon with a dark sky at night and plenty of wildlife.

I loved camping at Jane’s farm! It was peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. The first night I was here a deer got pretty close to my camp, got to see and hear some donkeys, as well as turkeys, and lots of owl activity. I love how Jane has themed the camp, there are fun things at every corner. Jane was polite and thorough about how to get to camp. Would definitely camp here again.

What a beautiful spot! This was a retreat-like setting. I loved the little pond and fountain, the wild turkeys wandering through the woods and the clean, welcoming setting. This is one of the nicest Hipcamps I have been to- much more than a place to stop for the night, but really a place to go, be and enjoy. I look forward to coming back.

I just wanted to take a moment to share how incredible our stay was. This was our second visit at such a remarkable place and we decided to share it with our entire family! (which only goes to show how amazing our first trip was!!)
From the moment we arrived, Jane and John went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We decided to have our baby shower here to welcome our son Wolfgang to the pack! Upon arrival Jane & John didn't just welcome us, they made us feel like family. They even set up two canopies for the rain, ensuring we could still celebrate comfortably, which we did!
It's rare to find people who genuinely care about your experience the way they do.
Everything about the campsite reflected their hard work and dedication to a clean, organized, and beautifully maintained campground, and the hospitality is like no other. You can feel the care, attention, and heart that goes into every detail. This was more than just a stay, it was an experience we'll never forget.
Thank you again Jane and Jon, for everything.
We can't wait to come back!

Brown Barrel has huge potential to become a really nice spot to get away for some quiet time. We wish we had known that we would be the only ones there as our spot was extremely dusty as it appeared to be more recently established and there was another spot that had gravel and would been a more pleasant spot to set up camp. Generally, the "camp ground" was pretty rough. The flush toilet was a major bonus even though we were fully prepared to dry camp. Our dogs appreciated being able to be off leash.

Overview
About
Eastern Washington’s Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area protects the 125-square-mile Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake and some of the land surrounding it, serving as an outdoor recreation spot and attracting campers, boaters, anglers, and hikers. While it's primarily a summer destination, plenty of Washingtonians descend on the area in the wintertime to snowshoe, cross-country ski, and play in the snow. None of the public Lake Roosevelt campgrounds have hookups, but independently owned RV parks and Hipcamps are in the area.
Notable campgrounds
- Great for boat-in camping: Detillion Campground is the largest boat-in campground with its own dock, 12 campsites, and vault toilets.
- Great for families: Lakefront Kettle Falls Campground offers RV and tent camping with easy access to the town of Kettle Falls.
- Great for winter camping: Fort Spokane Campground offers year-round vault toilets and an entire loop of campsites that stay open in winter.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Camping fees are half off from October through April, but winter options are limited.
- All camping is by advance reservation only. Campsites open up for reservations at 7 am Pacific time, six months in advance.
- You can make reservations by calling the US Forest Service or using their online reservation system.
- Keller Ferry Campground is bookable through a third-party concessions provider.
- Boaters may camp along the shoreline but cannot camp within half a mile of any developed areas, such as campgrounds, boat launches, or parking lots, without first obtaining a boat moorage agreement.
When to go
Lake Roosevelt is a year-round destination, and while most come here during the warm summer months to take advantage of hiking, camping, and water recreation opportunities, there's plenty to do during the snowy winter months, too, including cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. If you want to go camping, July and August combine limited rainfall with warm weather, with highs in the mid-80s, and temperatures don’t start to drop drastically until the later part of September.
Know before you go
- You can get gas, groceries, and other supplies in the nearby town of Coulee Dam.
- Most toilets in the park are ADA accessible, and some campgrounds offer ADA sites.
- Be prepared for rain and cold weather, no matter the season, as temperatures can drop considerably after dark. It's wise to download offline maps before you head out, as cell coverage can be spotty away from developed towns.
- Check ahead for road closures, particularly if visiting during the snowy winter season.

IT WAS AN AMAZING TIME!! With the beautiful views to the nice trail I can’t even explain in words how much we enjoyed our time here! The hosts were so welcoming and helpful it was such a comfortable experience. The campground is spacious and well covered (in case of bad weather hehe) I truly believe this is a HIDDEN GEM. Our family had an amazing trip there and we will definitely be back!!

It was super small, super crowded, and not at all private. It’s right next to the waterfall, which is nice, but I’d rather take a day trip to visit and hike than camp there.

It’s a small, tents-only campground. There are only 7 sites, but we stayed for two nights and only one other site was occupied the whole time. It’s right off the road, which makes it easy to find, though it was a little loud sometimes. There were plenty of trees so the sites were fairly private. There’s a swimming area with a dock, and lots of beach to walk along. It was lovely!

I have camped there....at the end of May2018. Very quiet, very remote. BUT....being on the edge of a marsh there are water "holes" that seep up under your tent, bed clothes all wet as wel as the mattress. Be wary of where the "spouts"will be.....and hope for a sunny day so you can dry it all out before bedtime. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay.
