Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-23: group camp only -- $130 per night for the whole site, per the Colville's page for East Sullivan Campground, the campground this group site sits inside. The two agency sources disagree on it: East Sullivan's own recreation.gov listing publishes $120 for the group site in the 2026 season (May 15 - Sep 27). Budget for $130 and hope for $120.
