Kootenai National Forest holds this informal overnight stop at the Cedar Creek Trailhead, where the parking lot doubles as a free dispersed site after 5 PM. No fee. Space runs to roughly five or six tents or car camping setups, and a spring adjacent to the lot provides a water source for filtered resupply. No pets are allowed. Campers wanting developed facilities nearby can consider Fireman Memorial Park & Campground as an alternative.
Description
Dispersed camping opportunities are available at many sites on the forest but few are detailed here. For more information contact one of our Forest Service offices.
