Positives - great view of the lake. Easy access to the dam. Day use area is fantastic - swimming, boating, picnic area, boat ramp and lots of open space.
Now for the campground - two loops, an upper and lower. The upper area is very unique - would not "camp" up there as it is a parking lot.
Lower loop is a cluster of uneven spots with little to no separation.
We had a site on the lower loop edge during the middle of the week. The camprogound was full. Very noisy through out the evening. During the day, everyone is at the lake.
Wish the campground was as nice as the day use area. Two days was all we could handle.
Bonus - if you have a small group, there are two very nice group sites. These are separated from the general campground and looked very nice - $55 per night with reservation.

Date of Stay - July 2015
I was looking for a peaceful place to stay, near Grand Coulee Dam, so I could chill out. I was hoping that Spring Canyon would be the perfect place. I was wrong.
Spring Canyon is a decent National Park Service campground right on Lake Roosevelt, just upstream from Grand Coulee Dam. It is also incredibly popular with campers during the summer. Campers in tents. Campers with kids. Noisy campers. Obnoxious campers. Not my kind of people. I am sure it is better in the off season. I hope.
I was in site 22, which had a great view of the lake. All sites provide for dry camping. There is potable water at the dump station, and a centrally located faucet in the middle of each campsite grouping. No electricity, so it can definitely get warm there in the summer. Fortunately the wind almost always blows.
The campground is set up into two sections - upper and lower. The upper is mainly setup for tent camping, though there are some spots for smaller RVs. The upper spot is weird, in that it is essentially a parking lot. Some covered spaces. Some not covered. So you park your car in a parking row, right next to other tenters. And then setup your tent in front of your car (on the pad). Right next to the other tents. It doesn’t provide for any privacy.
The lower lot is more spread out, but still doesn’t offer much privacy. The lower will accept larger RVs, though there weren’t many staying there when I was. Mostly tenters in the lower section as well.
There is a great day use area on the lakeshore, that includes a beach, swimming area, swimming dock, and plenty of picnic tables. It is also heavily used, by both the campers and people coming in for the day. It seemed like most people camping were there for the water, and most would spend all day at the beach.
Both Verizon and AT&T had 3 bars LTE service, despite appearing to have marginal service at best on the coverage maps. This was a pleasant surprise.
Spring Canyon is a great place to stay if you are visiting the Grand Coulee Dam. Just do it in the shoulder seasons, or be prepared for the lack of peace and quiet. If it wasn’t for the noisy campers, this location would be extremely quiet and peaceful.
Marshall would stay here again

Grand Coulee, Washington
July 2015 Kathy was no longer traveling with me. I was alone again. So I left Spokane and headed into central Washington to regroup. And to visit one of the largest concrete structures in the world....
