Best Campgrounds near White Bird, ID

We came upon this site after passing on the White Bird Recreation Site just north of here - it's so much better and we're so glad we came here. It's an established campground, with maybe 4 or 5 sites, all open, spread out, right on the river. There's a picnic table and fire pit for each site, and a porta potty. Verizon was roaming and AT.T. had great reception. Despite being right off the main road, it was very quiet and you couldn't hear or see traffic since you're lower down on the river. Easy access for big rigs. We stayed here two nights. Ranger came through to check on things, always love to see that.

Beautiful spot. Free! 14 day limit. No trash service, no water other than the river. The campground was nice and clean.

It's a small campground near the tiny town of Kooskia. We stayed here to be close to the part of the South Fork of the Clearwater River which is known for it's Steelhead Run. There are some permanent residents here with some rundown trailers but they were all nice and waved hello. It is quiet and right on the river with the ability to walk down to the river though not from every site and it is a rocky bank. The owners are very very nice and helped us back in when we arrived after dark. There are pay showers (bring quarters) and clean flush toilets. The website wasn't working when we were looking it up but they do respond to phone calls and messages left. We will most likely stay here next year for the Steelhead Run and hopefully have better luck! There are some pull through sites as well as back in sites and a small tent area. It is close to the highway but if you are near the river the sound is almost completely drowned out.

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon in October. There were many spots available along the road leading up to this site. But they were close to the road and we wanted to be off the road. We ended up at the last spot on the road right before the interpretive trail at the end. This spot was tucked into the trees. And once we got our camper backed in, we didn’t even know the road was there. And the VIEW! Wow!! Looking across the lake with the most beautiful sunsets. We stayed for 3 nights. We set up Starlink so we could work on Friday and had no issues with the connection.

We were riding the Idaho BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) and needed a place to camp near Pierce.  There aren't many options that are accessible for our Support Truck but found Deyo Reservoir as a welcome spot.   The West sites are very open and close to each other and are what you see first.  I kinda stumbled down to the East Campground which is more for Truck/Tent camping and is wooded and cooler (it was 95 degrees when we rode in).  Typical for Idaho the sites were nicely spaced, well maintained (it is hosted) and the Vault Toilet was very clean.
