      Emerald Creek Campground

      Quiet and lush

      Campgrounds are good, nice fire pits and bathrooms. Mosquitos were bad. Pets welcome on leash.

      Dog Creek Camp

      Spacious site!

      Nicely spaced out sites! Pet and family friendly. Short drive to a beautiful lake or river with hot springs. Clean outhouse bathrooms, no showers. Friendly hosts. There is currently no water hookups due to COVID. Seems to be a popular area, so recommend reservations, but we got lucky and found a site on a Friday.

      Colgate Camp

      Hidden gem

      Great location just off the highway. Stayed here for one night on our way to Missoula. River located just down a cliff along the campsite. When we were here is was roaring and you would probably want to be careful with kids and pets. Very quite with little to no traffic in the campground as well as the highway during our stay. Some spots were a little muddy due to rain for the past couple days. Didn't use the restrooms while we were here so unsure how clean those were but a couple people stopped by on the drive to use them. Would definitly stay here again.

      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.

      Wild Goose Campground

      Small campground along Highway 12 and the Clearwater River

      There aren’t too many campgrounds between Orofino and Kooskia, Idaho except for a few RV parks. We finally found a beautiful campground off highway 12 or the scenic Lolo Highway. It was small but had quite a few open sites so we snagged one close to the river and bathroom. The highway noise was noticeable but not bad at night. Our picnic table had a view of the Clearwater river (yes, it is very clear and has salmon.). There were steps down to the rocky shore of the river. We net a couple from elsewhere in Udaho who always choose this campground.

      Three Rivers Resort & Campground

      Three Rivers Resort in Idaho

      So, I’m not sure why “resort” is in the title, this certainly not a resort in the traditional sense. But, this is a great place to stop if headed up the Lochsa River and has something for everyone.

      The “resort” has riverfront cabins, double occupancy motel rooms, A frame cabins, RV spots with hookups and a large tent camping area for motorcyclists, bicyclists and hikers. The mix of campers makes thing interesting. Add to this that the river raft guides take out at this location and this is a busy and fun place to spend a night. It has been very busy every time I have stopped, often full of RV’s with families spending a long weekend.

      There is a small market, restaurant and bar, and an outdoor pool and hot tub. The market is well stocked with most of what you might have forgot to pack. They sell firewood as well. The bar offers typical burgers and bar fare and was lively enough even in peak Covid. This is Idaho after all, Covid seems like an afterthought in most of central and North Idaho.

      The resort is located along a sweeping bend of the Lochsa river, which the highway follows on the opposite side. With the proximity of the highway, the RV’s in the campground, the cabins, etc, this is not a tranquil wilderness campground. It is however a great spot to spend the night while passing through.

      I was on a motorcycle and there were probably 8-10 other riders tent camping. Several fires were going and folks were friendly and outgoing. There was no cell service for AT&T, but the market and bar had WiFi that you could access by sitting outside the front door.

      I’ve stayed here 3 times and it will always be on my list when passing through this part of Idaho.

      Winchester Lake State Park Campground

      Great Park, Great Fishing

      We pulled our 40ft RV up here and had a great time! Not full hookups but lots of fishing we caught: blue gill, trout, bass, crappie, perch, cat fish and had a small Tiger Muskie on the line but lost it. We were there for two weeks and they did have electricity and water hookups just no dump so we showered and used the bathroom facilities which were very well kept! So we didn’t mind. There is a dump station just in town at the gas station there. Overall great experience and nice to be off the grid for a bit!

      Ohara Bar Campground

      Quiet, easy river access, spacious camp spots

      Camped here over 4th of July weekend. Beautiful, quiet area, camps spots are spacious and well distanced. Dogs allowed, bathrooms were nice and clean, easy access to the river. For how popular it was, it was a nice quiet stay. Easy to reserve a camp spot. We easily fit 4 tents and 3 vehicles in the area. Plenty of space for 3 dogs as well. Firewood was easily found, campfire ring was already there.


    Guide to Weippe

    Campgrounds near Weippe, Idaho sit at elevations between 3,000-4,000 feet in the Clearwater National Forest. Summer temperatures can reach the mid-90s during July and August, while spring and fall bring cooler conditions with nighttime temperatures dipping into the 40s. Access roads to several camping areas require careful navigation, particularly after rain when unpaved routes can become challenging.

    What to do

    Fishing from dedicated docks: At Deyo Reservoir, anglers can catch diverse fish species from multiple docks. "Lots of docks for fishing in both the east and west campgrounds! Some docks are easier than others to access!" notes Marian J. The reservoir offers opportunities for "bluegill, trout but no bass" according to another visitor.

    Ice fishing in winter: Winter camping options remain available when many other areas close. "This place is open in the winter. I want to come back and have my try at ice fishing but I'm waiting to buy a nice pair of snow shoes to be able to get in during mid-winter," explains Megan K. about Deyo Reservoir.

    Swimming in mountain waters: For swimmers seeking natural settings, Canyon Creek provides access to Dworshak Reservoir. "Swimming in the lake at the foot of a mountain was sublime," reports Angie B. However, water levels fluctuate seasonally, with Brett B. noting, "The reservoir level is way down! Just getting to the water is a challenge."

    What campers like

    Free dispersed camping areas: Budget-conscious campers appreciate no-cost options. "My favorite price for a camp site is free. After buying all my camping gear (including winter gear) I have preferred to get out and rough it," shares Megan K. about Deyo Reservoir's dispersed areas.

    Privacy between sites: Fraser Park offers well-spaced camping spots that create privacy. "Great camp along hwy 11," notes Christopher R., who highlights the "baseball diamond next to it," making it "a great place to camp and have a big gathering with fun activities."

    Clean, maintained facilities: Visitors consistently mention facility cleanliness as a highlight. At Pink House Recreation Site, campers find "well established, clean, plenty of options for day use or overnight camping." Marian J. adds, "This small, nicely maintained campground is first come first serve! Nice clean bathroom with no showers!"

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds require advance booking. At Deyo Reservoir, "There is very little cell service and reservations are required. There is free (verrrry slow) wifi that can be used but we recommend booking ahead to save about 20 minutes when you arrive," advises Caz M.

    Limited water access during drawdowns: Water levels at Dworshak Reservoir fluctuate significantly. At Dent Acres, one camper noted seasonal changes: "The lake/reseviour is down more than 25 feet which makes launching a challenge! There is zero beach for swimming!"

    Quiet hour enforcement varies: Dog friendly campgrounds near Weippe don't always maintain strict quiet hours. One visitor at Deyo Reservoir complained, "nice but the other people were up loud till 2 am, is there a 10 pm quiet?"
