Where the Kaniksu National Forest meets the Idaho Panhandle, this guard station campground sits 11.6 miles north of the Canadian border. The Forest Service maintains basic facilities at this remote location, with vault toilets and fire rings provided. No potable water is available on-site, so campers must bring their own supply.
The gravel access road requires standard clearance vehicles, though conditions can vary seasonally. Snyder Guard Station offers additional camping less than half a mile south for those seeking alternatives. Cell service remains spotty throughout this section of forest. Plan for self-sufficient camping and check current road conditions before departure.
