copper mountain rd dispersed

Road access leads about ten minutes up Copper Mountain Road to this National Forest dispersed camping area near Cataldo, Idaho. The single review mentions a fire ring at the site, with interstate highway noise audible from the location. Campers can bring pets and build campfires, while hiking trails and OHV/ATV areas provide nearby recreation options.

The spot offers views from its elevated position, though highway sounds carry to the camping area. Both drive-in and walk-in access accommodate different camping styles. For those exploring the broader region, Lakes Divide Road sits two miles southwest for additional forest camping options.

Ok spot for overnight

Driving directions are spot on. Good cell coverage (AT&T). Arrived around 6pm and drove the 1.8 mi. on gravel road. Road in decent condition. I’m pulling my 13’ Scamp, which rides low and had no problem as long as I took it slow. Drove 1/4 mi past the site in order to find a place to turn around. Site is well used and a little dirty. Has DIY campfire ring and lots of dead wood around though it looks like it’s just fallen, not v. tidy. Some trash. Great views about 20’ down. Site is right on road and a dozen + cars passed, including some in the middle of the night...not great due to noise and headlights. It is possible to hear the interstate, but only large trucks.

Mountain views

Nice spot up the road about 10 minutes. Great views. Close to the highway so a little bit of noise from the interstate. Fire ring and that’s it.
