Powell Campground provides direct access to the Lochsa Wild and Scenic River, one of Idaho's most scenic waterways. The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness lies on the opposite side of the river. The campground is within walking distance of a small general store, fuel, lodging and a restaurant. The Powell Ranger Station is nearby as well, but all visitor services have moved to Lolo Pass Visitor Center.
The Lochsa River provides visitors with opportunities for fishing and other water-related recreation. Cutthroat and rainbow trout, Chinook salmon and steelhead swim in the clear waters. The Lochsa is world-famous for its exciting whitewater rafting opportunities. A permit is not necessary to float the river, but technical expertise is a must. A variety of hiking and horseback riding trails are available in the wilderness area. The 1.5-mile Powell Complex Trail begins near the campground and leads west through cool, shady cedar and larch trees, making for a relaxing day trip. Hunting is also a popular activity in the rugged and primitive landscape. Highway 12, also known as the Lewis and Clark Highway, winds along the narrow river canyon through evergreen trees and past large rock outcroppings. Visitors enjoy the scenic drive and historic sites along the way.
Lochsa is a Nez Perce word meaning "rough water." The 70-mile river and its tributaries have no dams and the flow is unregulated from its headwaters near the Powell Ranger Station in the Bitterroots, to Lowell, where it joins the Selway River to form the Middle Fork of the Clearwater River. The Lochsa is one of the world's best for continuous whitewater. The campground is situated in a dense forest in north-central Idaho at an elevation of 3,400 feet. It is across the river from the border of the 1.5-million acre Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Famed explorers Lewis and Clark passed through on their way to the Pacific Ocean in September of 1805. Elk, deer, moose, bear, cougar and mountain goats make the steep canyon country their home.
A variety of services are available in the rustic resort area near the campground including a general store, lodging, food and fuel. Fishing licenses are also available for purchase. The nearest free dump station is 40 miles west on Highway 12, at the Wilderness Gateway Campground.

Ekstrom Stage Station is a collection of historic log buildings reassembled along Montana’s famous Rock Creek, functioning today as a full-service campground. The campground is situated in a large grassy meadow surrounded by tall pine trees.Adjacent to the Pioneer Restaurant, the campground offers water & electric sites, full hookups, as well as tent sites for campers who prefer “roughing it”. For those who forgot their tents, we also have two teepees for rent. The main building is over 150 years old, we have 3 rustic cabins and a laundromat. The resort boasts an 1,800+ square foot Pioneer Restaurant, famous for its traditional meals and delicious homemade breads and pies. The most incredible treat is that the breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that you are treated to, have not changed from the originals served back in the day. We know you will enjoy and be back soon, because there is no way to try everything from the homemade watermelon-pickles, to the homemade huckleberry pie, and all the specials in between, in just one visit or two.

The Missoula KOA appears to be the only game in town. I guess that is why they can charge a premium price and leave you with two choices, take it or leave it. Only problem is we could not find another place so we "took it".
This is a big and busy campground. Lots of good things about it. For example, for a premium price, you can get a site with your own private dog run. Two older but OKay hot tubs and a heated swimming pool. Bicycle and other stuff rental. Everything from tent sites, cabins, small full hook-up sites to large spacious premium sites. Despite some of the bad reviews, the staff was very friendly to us and, because of no parking for our Tesla, they were able to move us to a better site. WARNING: You are not allowed to plug in any electric car. We were warned that if we plugged in our Tesla, we would be fined and asked to leave the park immediately. The Tesla supercharger was less than two miles away so no problem for us. Wifi was great. 34 mbs. AT&T was 2 bars 5G.
The BAD: Very busy. Many days in summer they are 100 per cent booked. Make reservations early and be specific what you need. Be ready to pay a premium price, even for tent camping. Camp is old but well kept. Bathrooms are clean but very old style and shower stalls are very small and not handicapped friendly. Surrounded by lots of older double-wide's. Some well kept and some not so well kept. Not friendly to electric cars (see warning above). Several times during our stay they paused their golf cart in front of our Tesla, I assume making sure we did not plug in.

The campground owner Libby was very helpfull and nice to us. Its very close to the city. So you can walk and leave your camper on the ground.
Guide
Great easy access spot! This area is free to use and is well maintained. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic bench. Also, each site has lots of space and decent privacy. Toilet, water, and food storage is provided. Lots of spots have creek access which is nice.
Traveler
I’ve stayed in many forest service cabins and this is by far my least favorite. The location is perfect as it’s right on como and can fit large groups of people. However, we stayed in the winter and the fireplaces needed to be refilled hourly to keep it somewhat comfortable. Also all night you could hear mice and some other kind of animal in the ceiling. It was very dirty and not well maintained. Most of the furniture was broken. Would never stay again.

We don't usually do RV parks but didn't want to fight for camp spots during the 4th of July long weekend. We ended up booking here on the 4th and 5th of July and had a great time camping along the river, going to the hot springs across the street and walking the area. This is a beautiful resort and a little more on the campy side which we liked.
The fireworks show was spectacular and from site 7 which sits right on the bend of the creek where there is a brush clearing. This was perfect for our golden retriever as we could tie her on a long lead and she could swim her heart out. Site seven also seemed really large compared to other as there was a large tree between the next site where we tied up a hammock.
One thing to mention on camp 7 is that its one of the few areas with the brush cleared wide open on the creek. If you don't put a camp chair or something to the side of the picnic table, we found other campers will come and hang out there in your campsite as they must think its an open space to get to the water. After putting a chair there, we were disturbed less.
The hot springs accross the highway are $12 a person and we took a hot soak in the 106 degree enclosed mineral bath/pool area and rotated to the 86 degree pool outside. Kids and families all seemed to stay in the pool area while adults in the mineral bath area. Its more rustic hot springs but we did find it nice and someone told me they drain the mineral bath nightly and pressure wash it for the next day (unconfirmed)
If you are coming on the 4th of July, I'll let you know the music starts around 4pm where the have a DJ playing music till about 10pm on the other side of the highway near the restaurant were the majority of people watched and shot off fireworks of their own. We enjoyed the camp site knowing that it was just for that day and planned it would be a loud night which it was. The fireworks started around 8/9pm and went to about 1 am. The show seemed to wrap up around 10:30 but was hard to tell what was the show vs people shooting off their own. We ended up going to bed around 11pm but booms and crackles kept us up till the crowd died down. We didn't mind but thought I'd mention if you plan to come for a quite evening over this holiday.
ScoutWe wanted to camp (not charge, just park the car and camp) and once they found out we have an electric car they would not allow us to even come on the property. It does not mention this anywhere.
ScoutThis is Steve at the Missoula KOA. I have seen him being unnecessarily aggressive and yelling at clueless campers before. So when he aggressively chased and swerved in front of my brothers car WITH my kids in it for accused speeding I stopped and watched from a distance. When I heard him starting to yell I intervened. You don’t yell at, towards, or around my kids. I told him to back off and he refused. He only got angrier and louder. Granted, I yelled back but we eventually parted ways. I returned to my RV to get out of wet clothes and immediately went to the office looking for a manager. They said he has been notified and should be calling me soon. On my way back to my site I saw Steve pull up to my RV where my Wife, kids, and brother were. He came there looking for a fight and I could hear him yelling at my wife and brother from down the street. That’s when I STARTING YELLING AT HIM TO GET AWAY. I told him multiple times(not on video) to go to the office and get a manager. He only got angrier. Unknown to me at the time, he reached and attempted to pull out his gun multiple times. If it wasn’t for his loose pants catching the gun and co-worker showing up, I’d be dead. The manager never called. He never had the intention to call and smooth things over to make us feel at ease for the night. After two hours I called the office. They said“he should call soon”. I needed action taken that night so I had to file charges with the police. My poor kids were absolutely terrified at this point. I didn’t hear from the manager until the next morning when they kicked me out for yelling at their employee. All they did was defend him. Even after they reviewed video with law enforcement. Good thing I was already leaving. My kids were so scared and did not feel safe there. Do yourself a favor and go through the reviews. This isn’t an isolated incident.

TravelerVery nice stop. Just a few others here on a weekend.
GuideWe found this beautiful small campsite while we drove up to Georgetown lake and decided to camp up next to this beautiful creek. Very wide campingspots with firepit and picknick table. Vault Toilets are at the entrance of the campsite. Campground is not recommended for RVS. Its next to a road so keep in mind some noise from traffic.
Ranger
Nice flat spots with room as well as cabins. Can get busy in summer but worth it if you’ve never been; it is a real cool spot.
Guide
Definitely not a spot that caters to our normal priorities as it's more of a family hangout or long term place, as expected being an RV park. But it worked well as a stop-off spot for laundry, showers, electric recharge, and water fill before continuing on our way the next morning. We were worried it'd be loud being so close to the freeway, but surprisingly couldn't hear it at all.
Facilities: Laundry, showers that feel like home more than any other we've been to, mini-golf, playground, convenience store
Cell Service: As expected plenty of service being so close to Missoula
Starlink: All sites are open to the sky
Solar: All sites are open to the sky
Guide
Very cute little cabin nestled next to a small creek. The area was very pretty, but had some broken fencing allowing tons of cows to surround the cabin on the morning. Very funny, but a little odd. Trip in was easy enough, road was slightly rutted, but nothing intolerable. A couple bunk beds were in the cabin, and it was definitely warm enough to survive.
Scout
We did not have reservations so got a last spot by dumpsters, water and power, no sewer. Dumping at their station in am, she came zooming down to ask if we needed help, said we had stayed in #1 but were charged $10 to dump
Guide
This is a great location along the Clark Fork river. Staff was very friendly. Sites were well maintained and sufficient.
Cons: Interstate noise and the occasional train whistle would keep me from using the facility for nothing more than an overnight stop.
Guide
$42 for fire pit and picnic table! No privacy between the spots. That said, it’s a very beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet. Nice playground for the kids . Showers and bathrooms looked like they had been clean to, but overall were in need of a deep cleaning. The shower curtains were on the toilet stalls… Not sure how you keep those clean thoroughly.
Restaurant was really nice and tasty. Nice people. But they are only open till 230 even though their website says they are open for dinner. I was hoping to stay one more day because it was so peaceful but we needed to get going on our trip.
ScoutThis spot was Amazing! Our room was stunning. So charming, spacious, cozy, Fun, and had everything we could ever need. On top of the wonderful accommodations, the STAFF! The staff and owner went Above and Beyond for us when my boyfriend left behind a beloved baseball cap in our room. Totally our fault, and we figured we’d never see the sentimental item again. On a whim, I called Travellers Rest and they couldn’t have been nicer. They found the hat and mailed it from Darby to Bozeman and we had it back in no time. It was so kind and truly showed the heart of this cool spot. We would Love to stay here again when in the area!
Guide
The friends of rock creek work really hard to keep this gem looking good. No running water but you have a full home rich with history and a pit toilet that’s well maintained.
Guide
I think west fork butte is one of the coolest locations to stay at if you can get a reservation. No running water but there’s a wood stove with plenty of firewood and a pit toilet. It can be a bit of a spooky walk down at night but an amazing view at sunrise.
TravelerSuper big KOA. Used to be located out of the country, but now surrounded by the city! Lots of campers, had a quiet evening… Great showers and toilet rooms.
ScoutWe lived in our 5th wheel at turah RV park for 2 years and my complaint is about the owner. She will charge double the kilowatt for usage and charge a 25$ meter fee every month. Our power bill for our 25' 5th wheel in the summer would average 200$ a month and 350$ in winter. That is really high for any RV. We eventually moved to a house and our bill here was 95$ for the month and we ran out A/C constantly. That's more like it. The owner is a back stabbing rip off artist. She made up that we owed her $200 for groceries when we were about to move. My wife works at a grocery store and that's where we got 90% of our groceries. Besides the RV store is full of food that is very expired. She will treat people horribly and start rumors about you. I beg everyone to not stay at turah RV.
ScoutIf you want a beautiful campsite and unbelievable hostility and belittling treatment, this is the place for you. I use KOAs frequently. I booked and prepaid for a premium tent site at this, where the description stated a pickup camper was acceptable. I have a newer model F250 with a camper shell that I built out/converted into a very nice camping setup. Apparently that doesn’t qualify as a“pickup camper” in their books and instead qualifies as“vehicle sleeping”. They told me my options were to buy a tent- which I wouldn’t be allowed to set up because it was after dusk- or get a refund and leave. To quote the man behind the counter who spoke to me like I wasn’t there,“Well there’s a Walmart across the street. She can get a tent there or she can park in their parking lot overnight if you’re going to sleep in your vehicle”. Another staff member stated,“They’re strict you know, trying to keep out the homeless people and riff raff”. 1. Thank you nameless staff member for confirming that these rules are arbitrary and discriminatory by design 2. How does that at all explain why I couldn’t stay in my**already paid for** site and sleep in a camper buildout? They still checked me in, gave me a parking tag, bathroom codes and map. Said nameless staff member still led me by golf cart to my campsite. I, mistakenly, believed this was them giving me the go ahead to stay in my camper and that they were going to let it slide. It was one single night after all. I was showered, lights out, and in bed by 10pm. Wrong. At 11:15pm someone starts tapping on my window. It’s another KOA staff member telling me I have to have a tent. Except the Walmart is now closed and there’s nowhere to buy one. I explained I was traveling solo, out of state, had nowhere else to go, only there for the night, and asked what it was he wanted me to do in the middle of the night. He didn’t respond and walked away. I thought this meant they were just going to be decent human beings for the night. Wrong again. 12:15am police are pounding on my camper door.“The business wants you trespassed, you have 20 minutes to leave” 20 minutes to leave in the middle of the night, from a site I paid for, was checked into, and was already asleep in because I didn’t have a tent? Because I was sleeping a customized camper that locked from the inside because Im a woman traveling alone? Yep. The police explained my options were a truck stop 10 miles down the road or Walmart. I was traveling solo, staying one night after traveling from Arizona. It was the college homecoming so there were no hotel vacancies. The staff had absolutely no care for that fact or the fact that I was traveling alone. Again, I had booked and prepaid for this site 2 weeks prior. I read the rules. Thought I understood said rules. Still don’t understand how they considered that violating the rules. The staff and this KOA have absolutely zero concern for where you’ll end up when they turn you away.

Enjoyed our 1 night stay at the campground. First come first serve but mid September easy to get site. Electric and water hook up nice. Nice walk to dam overlooking lake. Quiet and pleasant stay.
TravelerHappy with the campsite. Nice trees. People were very friendly
TravelerWell kept. Great showers. Would go back.

This campground is right on the Lochsa River behind Lochsa Lodge. Some sites are reservable and some are FCFS. The river there is gorgeous. If you have a side by side there are lots of places to explore nearby. And if you don’t feel like cooking, you can run up to the Lochsa Lodge restaurant for a meal.

Internet pretty weak from our site.

Nice stopover on our trip.
Formerly a Jellystone park, and our GPS had a hard time finding it by the address on the confirmation info, but could find it by their name. Apparently the GPS still has the street as Jellystone.
Decent green space between sites, but the length was pretty short. I'm guessing this was built before bigger RVs were commonplace? We parked all the way back in the site, our rear was literally up to the road, and we still had to do some maneuvering to park the truck. Definitely could not have stayed Attached.
Laundry facilities were reasonably priced, clean, and had a nice lounge area. $5.00 a load, but includes dryer as well.
Park is on a cashless system. Laundry, giftshop etc all only take credit or debit cards.
Everyone we met, both staff & guests was very nice. They even kept the shop & pool area open late for guests to try and see the Northern Lights.
Overall a pleasant park, just a little tight for our set up.

This site has the cleanest and most amazing campground bathroom i’ve ever seen. The showers are hot, and the entire bathroom stayed clean for the length of my stay.
Beautiful campground right off the 93. Site 15 is right on the river. The campground had access to water and trash. Gas station and store on site. The hosts were very kind and welcoming.
