Roosevelt and is a part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service. Campers have the convenience of a day-use swimming area and plenty of space to sit back and soak up the summer sun and cooler days of spring and fall. Recreation Lake Roosevelt provides numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation. Families can cool off in the day-use water access area located approximately 300 yards downhill from the campground. The Day Use area also has a playground. Boating and water sports abound.
