Beautiful place

Two night stay for me. In the middle of May and all it did was rain with highs in the mid 50s. No fault of the campground of course.
At this time there were no camp hosts nor other campers either. Felt weird and eerie having it all to myself but quiet and peaceful. There are no dumpsters but there are vault toilets, which were clean. The fee to stay is $15 a night when there are camp hosts there. On one side of the campground there is a pretty sizable river. Moyie River. Even though the weather was crappy, I’d definitely go again.

Nice little spot

Outstanding camp hosts! The campground is in the forest. Lots of trees but the mountain views are very limited from the campsites. Bathrooms are exceptionally clean. Nice little trails that go down by the water. The gravel road that runs beside generates a fair amount of dust for campsite #’s 16, 15 and 14, so heads up on that, and there’s a train track close by that gets a bit loud at night. Copper creek is clean and cold. Overall it’s a nice place to spend a couple of days.

Are there hiking trails or attractions near Copper Creek Campground?

While mountain views from the campsites are limited due to the dense forest, the surrounding area offers natural beauty typical of northern Idaho.

Where is Copper Creek Campground located in Idaho?
