TravelerGreat forest spot CG Hell’s Canyon NRA
Ollocot CG sits along the Imnaha River not far from the Hells Canyon Overlook. We camped under tall Ponderosas and fell asleep to the sounds of the river just a few feet away. Just a few other campers there in mid-September. Great spot!
TravelerNice
Great campground, right by the Imnaha River. Some sites are more private than others. Not too busy even on a Friday night. Would stay here again.
RangerUSFS Campgrounds are the BEST!!!!!
More and more I'm staying at USFS campgrounds and enjoying the experiences. Yes, they're dry, but they're cheap, dark, quiet and in exceptionally beautiful places. Ollokot is in the Hell's Canyon Recreation area and is seriously the best campground I've encounter on my latest 4 week fall trip. Located right on the Imnaha River, the scenery is breathtaking, the sites are big with lots of room. It's a short drive up to the Hell's Canyon Overlook which is spectacular. Only downside is the road out of Joseph to get there.....it's not for the faint of heart if you have a larger RV. Narrow, potholes and absolutely no wiggle room. It's six inches between you and the side of the canyon. So take it SLOW!!!
