Beach

Granite Point Resort

Granite Point Resort occupies 28 acres of Loon Lake shoreline in eastern Washington's Stevens County, offering lakeside sites and accommodations with a beach, boat rentals, a general store, and on-site dining. A recreation center, game room, and sports courts round out a self-contained summer destination in the inland Northwest. Lakeside sites and accommodations serve guests across a range of formats. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. On-site dining covers meals, which matters at a resort where guests tend to settle in for a week rather than an overnight. The lake frontage carries the recreation. A beach gives direct swimming access, boat rentals put guests on the water, and boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the property. A recreation center and game room handle indoor hours, with sports courts, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes outdoors and a playground for families. The programming is well-rounded enough that guests rarely need to leave. Pets are welcome. Loon Lake sits in the ponderosa pine and mixed conifer country of northeastern Washington, among the clear glacially scoured lakes and quiet small towns of the inland Northwest — a summer retreat quite different in character from the Columbia River and Puget Sound destinations that draw the bulk of the state's visitors. The resort has built its reputation over many seasons as a family destination, and demand reflects that. Summer is decisively the peak, with returning families booking year to year — reserve well ahead for July and August.

Curlew RV Park

21 RV Sites

Curlew RV Park in Curlew, Washington, offers 21 RV sites on 10 acres overlooking the Kettle River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet. Four categories cover full-hookup back-ins, water-and-electric back-ins, pull-throughs, and tree view back-ins, with an outdoor pool, beach, and clubhouse near the Canadian border. Twenty-one sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp across back-in, water-and-electric back-in, pull-through, and tree view back-in categories, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits. Seasonal restrooms and showers, laundry, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. Two booking notes: monthly rates apply to reservations starting on the first of the month and may vary otherwise, and you can pay by cash or check to avoid card processing fees. An outdoor pool and a beach anchor the recreation, with the Kettle River offering swimming and floating directly from the property. A playground serves families, and boating, birding, and biking run from the area. A stage and gazebo host the annual Kettle River Music Festival and the community events that give this small ranching and farming town an outsized social calendar. The northern lights are visible here during geomagnetic events, across a genuinely dark Ferry County sky. Pets are welcome. Curlew sits in Ferry County's northeastern corner near the Canadian border, where the Okanogan Highlands' ponderosa pine forests meet the upper Kettle watershed's river country. The park runs the Inland Northwest season. Summer river recreation and the music festival drive peak demand — reserve ahead for festival weekends.
