Kootenai National Forest's Rock Lake campground holds just two sites, both positioned above the lake itself, which keeps the layout compact and the two spots well-separated from each other. The access road turns problematic in wet conditions, and four-wheel drive is advisable after rain. Amenities are minimal: one pit toilet, picnic tables at the upper site, and no running water. Cell coverage is available. The lower site trades the outhouse and tables for direct lakefront access. RVs are limited to 20 feet, though at least one reviewer reached the site in a 25-foot rig. Long Lake and Timber Lake are a short bike ride away. This campground suits self-sufficient campers who want tent camping near Kootenai National Forest without developed infrastructure and don't mind a rough road to get there.
Description
