The Best Camping Near Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, Idaho

Great location just off the highway. Stayed here for one night on our way to Missoula.  River located just down a cliff along the campsite. When we were here is was roaring and you would probably want to be careful with kids and pets. Very quite with little to no traffic in the campground as well as the highway during our stay.  Some spots were a little muddy due to rain for the past couple days. Didn't use the restrooms while we were here so unsure how clean those were but a couple people stopped by on the drive to use them. Would definitly stay here again. 

Hidden gem

Fantastic campground off the map. You’re right between two hot springs so very easy access to visit. There’s a clean vault toilet &amp; front row access to a beautiful river. It is right along the road so you do hear some road noise but very quiet at night time. There’s 7 campsites ranging in size. No cell service for any carrier. Met some awesome people here and would definitely visit again! Arrived on a Sunday afternoon to find 5 open spots. First come first serve &amp; free. Not a lot of solar site options if needing, may not be the best spot. 

Great stay!

Nice little campground some spots right on the river.  Tucked in a little so has a little privacy.  Not busy at all. 

Nice spot! 

Great hidden gem off 12. It has enough spots to accommodate 5-6 campers.  We had no issues on a Sunday night.  Very peaceful next to the river.
