    Table Meadows Campground

    Things change

    We used to pull horse trailers in there all the time - 20 years ago

    We won’t be pulling anything in there again. Gained some plumbing experience due to large “pot holes” that can swallow trailer tires whole.

    Forest service has forgotten about the road and let it fall into dismal shape. Would be best if traveled without a trailer and with 4x4.

    Campsites are there but grasses have overgrown most of the site.

    Assume that road is in poor shape and sites are best for tents.

    Boulder Flat - Lochsa River

    A River Runs By

    Great little campsite with the roar of the river.  

    Found it by accident a few years back.  It sits above the Lochsa River,  just north and west of the Wilderness Gateway Campground.  

    Both campgrounds are great, but this one is a little more rustic and provides easier access from the highway for camp trailers and stock trailers.  

    Have to look carefully because it is easy to miss: not well marked...

    Weitas Creek Campground

    Needs a Titdy up.

    it is free witch is amazing thank you. But it would like a tidy up. Only 2 of the sites are in my opinion any good one ones to the left and right of the bridge. I dear not go in the vault toilets. Great location for fishing access. Did get little busy before dark and not many trees so you had dust going threw your camp but it was free.
