Best RV Parks & Resorts near Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests

184 Reviews

Several RV parks in the Nez Perce-Clearwater area provide full hookup options for travelers exploring north-central Idaho. Clearwater Crossing RV Park in Orofino offers electric, water, and sewer hookups with big-rig friendly sites positioned along the river. "Right by the Clearwater River. Downtown is within walking distance. City park nearby. Management is super nice," notes one visitor about this convenient location. Long Camp RV Park in Kamiah features pull-through RV pads with water and electric connections, and allows both pets and campfires—a combination not found at all facilities in the region. The Hook Up RV Park provides 16 sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical service, while River Junction RV Park in Kooskia remains open year-round with 30-amp hookups and sanitary dump station access.

Access to many RV parks requires careful navigation along Highway 12, which follows the Clearwater and Lochsa Rivers through mountainous terrain. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with most developed RV sites offering better connectivity than more remote locations. Summer and early fall bring the highest visitation, with several reviewers noting that reservations are essential during peak season. Dump stations are limited outside established RV parks—Canoe Camp RV Park and Clearwater Crossing both provide sanitary dump facilities. Winter travelers should verify seasonal availability, as some facilities close during colder months. While highway noise affects sites at several parks, one reviewer mentioned that "if you are near the river, the sound is almost completely drowned out" by the flowing water at River Junction RV Park.

    Bear Den RV Resort

    Well maintained , friendly staff

    Campground is located a mile outside of town. Friendly staff and nicely maintained campground. There are a few small trees but mostly in the sun. Sites are close together. Big rig friendly and mostly pull through sites.

    City of Bovill RV Park

    Looking for a all season RV Park? This is your spot! Bring the marshmallows too!

    This is an all season RV Park. There’s a nice patch of grass in the center during warm months.

    Sometimes we have a hard time finding all season parks.

    They do allow pets! They have all the amenities you hope a RV Park has. We came up here to gem hunt. But I know other forms of hunting are also popular here 😉.

    You also don’t loose the camping feels here. How? Fire rings.

    Camping is just not the same without the ability to have a fire. Even when camping in an RV for local attractions over the “camping experience” it’s always a HUGE plus (to me anyways) to be able to watch flames for a few hours while having a few drinks.

    Also visit the Pie Safe! You won’t regret it.

    Quartz Flat Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This campground is AT the rest stop. It's a bit different. If travelers knew about it they would stop and go into the campground for a picnic lunch and it is great to let the dogs walk in the woods, but no one ever does that because they do not realize the National Forest Campground is there... They stop at the rest stop (new redone) and move on. 

    Hardly anyone goes there on loop G. The other Clark Fork side gets some weekenders.  The other loops are on the other side of the highway accessible by a tunnel under the highway and one loop was deactivated a few years ago because of a lack of traffic. One side is right above the Clark Fork River. The other Loop G is on the other side of the highway and has one set of "real toilets" a potable and non-potable/dump water station for filling water tanks and rinsing tanks AND its a nice free dump station. Sites are smaller being built back in the 60's I'm thinking in G, but a few drive throughs on the other side by the river. It's 35 minutes north of Missoula MT. It is Close to trails has a half mile nature trail onsite and river access is close by... If you are traveling, need a really nice campground with few people in the woods, and inexpensive, this is the place... Coming to fish, do some kayaking or rafting on Clark Fork Check. 

    There is some road noise and on Loop G the occasional train next to the campground. The Clark Fork side doesn't have the train but seem louder closer to the road. That does not bother us so no big deal there. All sites are wooded...

    Knife Edge Campground

    Idyllic location for a tiny public campground

    Situated on the Lochsa River, right off US 12, a tiny US Forest Service campground: 5 or 6 wooded sites, firerings and picnic tables at each site.  Early spring closure of all but two sites to accomodate boaters at the river access point, also part of the campground.  Pull-through site 5 provides a perfect location next to the river.  First come, first serve, and free.

    Quartz Flat Campground

    Easy access

    Right off I90 deeper into the woods behind the Quartz Rest-stop. Large pull throughs and medium to small back in sites. Water available, vault toilets, bear resistant trash containers and dump station. $10/night or $5/night with interagency Golden Pass. Highway noise can be bothersome but given the sign of times (COVID-19 and EVERYONE else out camping) we are thankful for a place to call home on a Friday afternoon! All sites are first come first serve.

    Seubert RV Park & Guesthouse

    Great Location!

    Beautiful view, super friendly staff, and very convenient location. Just a tiny bit off the highway, easy to access pull-through sites, and very affordable! Super clean and well kept.

    Quartz Flat Campground

    Great stop for a rest

    This is a perfect low cost place for a overnighter. Conveniently located next to the freeway and by a rest stop. We were surprised with how many trees and close to the river you can be if you continue to A loop. We have stayed here a few times and are always happy to stop for a rest. No hook up. Pit toilets Potable water Good cell service Dump station Five pieces of free firewood per night

    Quartz Flat Campground

    Great Overnight Stop or longer

    Campground is found driving thru rest stop and follow signs. 1st loop you will have some train noise if they’re running but drive thru 13’ tall culvert to other side for quieter spots. Has dump, water fill site, and hosts at each loop. Nature Interpretive Trail. $10 night for sight with concrete pad, table, fire ring/bbq grate. Discount with National Parks Access Sr or Disabled or Military. We then traveled onto Pallisades Falls near Bozeman Mt

    River Junction RV Park

    Perfect for what it is

    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.
