Riverside retreat

Nice campground along the North Fork of the Clearwater. There are stairs by one of the vault toilets to walk down to the water but be careful, it is cold and fast! Several riverside spots including one group site as well as shady groves. Water was shut off when we were there June 2024; unknown when it will be back on.

Nice campground on the river

Several spots right on the river. Nice quiet across the bridge so a little ways away from the road. Several spots to camp and accessible to bigger campers.

Rustic

This site was haven sent. Large spacious, on the Clearwater river. Fishing was great. Solitude was the best. 10 days was our stay at $10 per night, no hook ups. Boondocking or dry camping was the tone. The vault toilets were clean enough for the ladies not to mind the situation. Laying in the river, hiking, wildlife viewing, was great.
