Camping Ideas for late Whitetail in Colville

[Quimby]

So I am heading out next week to the Colville area for the late Whitetail hunt since I struck out during the regular season!  I have been to Colville a few times, but never camped.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a good area to base camp?  Are there lots of campgrounds around the area?  I have been looking online and it seems there are a few, but would like to get some input from some folks that have been there and done that.   I have a 27 foot trailer that I am taking.  I was planning on just setting up in the National Forest, but if anyone has a better idea or area to research it would be much appreciated.

Twin Lakes has a public campground its state or nfs (dont remember which) it's been a few years since me and the kids used it. Didnt have a lot of people at it, you want to take the first road off the highway to it the other is not suitable for RVs. Dry camping only.

I would camp in the NF, lots of areas.  Hopefully you've drove the roads while you were up there.  If you want to drive a little longer I believe marcus island is open year round near kettle falls, pretty close to colville.  Or, you can always drop your trailer at walmart like everyone else.

What direction are you going to hunt from Colville? Are you going to be in the 105 unit ? Let me know and I'll try and help since I live in Curlew and kinda know that area.

What part of the Colville are you going to?  It's pretty large and in three separate sections.  Only 2 are open for white tail if I remember correctly.

Little Pend Oreille Wild Life Refuge has free camping up near McDonald Lake. GMU 117 for late Whitetail.

I too am heading up there to hunt and we are staying at Beaver Lodge resort. They do have spots for RVs there but I don't know what they cost. We are staying in a cabin. Dress warm as it gets cold!!

Since it's my first time, I am kind of on a hunting/scouting mission.  In looking at the maps, I am thinking of GMU's 111, 121 and 117 mainly.  Any suggestions?  There is a lot of ground out that way from what I can tell on the maps.  I am not looking for hunting hot spots, just some past experiences that you folks can share.  As far as camping goes, I think I am going to just find a spot in the woods and go from there.
