A River Runs By

Great little campsite with the roar of the river.  

Found it by accident a few years back.  It sits above the Lochsa River,  just north and west of the Wilderness Gateway Campground.  

Both campgrounds are great, but this one is a little more rustic and provides easier access from the highway for camp trailers and stock trailers.  

Have to look carefully because it is easy to miss: not well marked...
