The waterfalls are beautiful snd worth the hike! Lots of locals enjoy the spot. The campsite is nice, not many amenities so bring what you need! Good place to hang out. The water stays cold well into the summer.
There is a pit toilet and a boat ramp here. Camping is ‘t great, there is no privacy and it is very open! If you are here early enough in the year, there is a risk of flooding. The log jam is a good spot to bird watch. This is a good spot for recreating but not overnight camping!
The campsite here is nice- it’s not uncommon to get the place to yourself! I think it’s best enjoyed early in the summer, before the creek dries out. There is a shooting range/pit nearby- usually gunshots are heard here and it can be jarring if you don’t know about the pit!
This place is great! The road driving in is scary- steep drop offs, narrow, and bumpy! The campsite is stunning and there are really cool plants in the area. I saw mountain goats and heard of a rattler on the trail. Dog friendly, the picnic tables are nice and the toilets are clean. Learn about local Nimiipuu history and respectfully take time to look through the petroglyphs. The hiking is great, lots of people were dirt biking near the canyon.
This is a nice place to spend a day outside. The hiking loops are nice, if not short. The picnic areas are super nice and there are lots of spaces to enjoy. As a camping area, it is usually quiet. There are vault toilets and porta-pottys.
Blue Mountain is a great place to recreate! Very dog friendly and tons of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Camping is allowed west of road 365. The area can get busy during the day but is quiet at night.
This is a nice campsite! The hot springs are right across the highway. The bathrooms have running water and a portable heater in the colder months. Worth staying for proximity to the springs more than anything.
This is a noisy place to stay! I was in a tent and thought it was overpriced. The tent sites were just a corner of grass on the edge of the site. Lots of noise from RVs and the interstate nearby. However, it was clean and well maintained.
The colors of the tamaracks are amazing in the fall! It is worth a trip. Great hikes in the area- up to Morrel Falls is nice. Campsite has paved roads, the lake is beautiful, and there is running water. Good place to stay!
The road to get to this campsite is rough! Kind of neat to drive past the Paws Up resort and the campground is much more affordable! The river is great to float and holds enough water into the fall. The campsite had picnic tables and a vault toilet. Nice and quiet
Great spot! This is a pretty standard campsite- there are only 5 sites though, so it can fill easily. Amenities include a pit toilet, fire rings (be careful!!!) and picnic tables. Hiking is an must! The canyon overlook is stunning.
The Lolo area is beautiful! So much cool hiking, climbing, rivers, biking right in the corridor. The campsite is a very standard spot. The tent sites and amenities are nice and the pit toilets are as clean as can be expected. Good place to camp!
This is a good campsite! It can definitely fill up,but there is usually a spot to stay. Some traffic noise, since it is very close to the highway, but the rod isn’t very busy.
This is a really nice spot to camp! Definitely fills up quickly, but the hosts were very kind. Good bear safety protocols available. Lots of cool hiking, bouldering, very accessible to the campsite.
Camping by the river was nice! This is a good spot to boondock, it’s free, theres a pit toilet, and the road to get in isn’t bad! There were about 5 other parties when I camped here, some noise from others and traffic. It wasn’t bad, good for one night!
This campsite was fine- I needed a place to stay on a cross country trip and it felt like a safe place to roll into later in the evening! It was fairly loud from the RV noise and overpriced just for a tent and pit toilet. The site is right on the river, and watching the sun set on the Missouri was the biggest pro of this spot. I would recommend this to RV’ers, people looking for a quick stop to sleep, or maybe families wanting a more developed camping experience.
This campsite was really cool! It was far enough from the noise of the park and felt pretty isolated. Beautiful views and it was cool to see bison wandering through the campsite. It was pretty windy , so bring lots of stakes and tie outs for your tent!
This can be a nice place depending on how busily you catch it. The water is clean and nice through most of the summer, but towards mid-August the trash can pile up a bit. The hike is nice and there are good ammenities (trash collection, picnic table, shelters). Decent bird watching here. I always see a Great Blue Heron and often eagles as well!
This is a pretty quiet place! It about an hour drive/17 miles from Cascade on a paved road. True to it's name, the lake and campsite are right on a summit! The lake is pretty small and a little muddy, but a fun dip nevertheless. It's about a 5 minute hike from the campsites. There are 3 campsites at the campground and they are all first come first serve! Dispersed camping is allowed in the area as well. Managed to find 2 empty spots here on Labor Day weekend, which was a real treat! The sites all have fire rings and picnic tables and share a vault toilet. The sites are well spaced and there little noise carries around the area. The campground is a little close the to highway (Warm Lake Rd) but traffic at night is pretty low, so the noise isn't bad. There is a wilderness airstrip not too far off, so some plane noise as well! Otherwise, a nice spot with some great views of the night sky.
This is one of the coolest places that I have ever stayed. I stayed here for a couple of nights before venturing into the Frank Church. Although this spot isn't quite in the wilderness, it sure feels like it! Driving up to Yellowjacket and through the abandoned mine sites feels like a step into the past. The "ghost town" looks more like several abandoned mines, but is still so interesting to see. The guard station sits in a little meadow beside a creek in a small canyon. The first night that I stayed here, the loudest thunder that I have ever heard rolled through the area! This is truly a wild, unpredictable, beautiful place. The guard station is a lovely building. Depending on the time of year, there is available water, as well as water from the creek. There is a fire ring surrounded by stump seating in the field. There is a pit toilet a little ways from the guard station that oddly smells like pipe tobacco. There are also corrals for horses, and it seems like a great place to go riding. There aren't official tent sites, but there is lots of flat, grassy spaces that several tents can be comfortably set up in. I was in this area for about 2 weeks and didn't see anyone I didn't plan to! A refreshing breath of solitude. It is a pretty far trek to drive out, make sure to have directions ready ahead of time. In mid-May, this place was seemed like ground-zero for ticks. Watch out and check often! Other wildlife seen included rattlesnakes and deer, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bigfoot was hanging out here somewhere. This is a really unique place to experience and a great starting point to explore the Frank Church Wilderness and Salmon-Challis National forest. I would absolutely recommend visiting this spot.
