Swimming, hiking, and river access draw campers to Lochsa River ID12, a dispersed National Forest site along the Lochsa in north-central Idaho. The lower campsite is notably large and flat, with a fire ring positioned directly at the water's edge. The road in is rough and jagged but passable for most cars driven carefully. RVs longer than 20 feet should not attempt it. Nearby, Eagle Mountain Trailhead and Lochsa River Dispersed — Clearwater NF give equestrian and trail users additional staging options in the corridor. River noise is pronounced at the lower sites. Campers who want direct water access with minimal development will find this site worth the rough approach.
