This is a fairly new park that is kept in excellent condition. All facilities were clean and it was obvious they were very meticulous about this. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only reason for the 9 instead of a ten was the location, which had some minor highway noise and was behind a rail car storage facility which took away from the ambiance slightly. Great base camp for visiting the Dworshak Reservoir and the North Fork of the Clearwater river. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice, newer park on the banks of the Clearwater river. The owner and staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. The entry road crosses railroad tracks and is paved once you enter the park. Most sites are back-in, and are large, level gravel backing up to the river bank. The pull thrus are parallel to the road and I'd take a back in instead. Cable is available for $1 a day but there is a clear view of both DirecTV and Dish satellites. The free WiFi worked well. The only drawback, and a minor one, is the railroad siding behind the park. Although not very scenic, the siding is seldom used and was only a visual drawback. We enjoyed our stay and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is not a resort nor a place for small children. It is an excellent location to live while enjoying this area of Idaho. This new park is located on a strip of land between a railroad siding (with little usage) and the Clearwater River. Most sites are along the river's edge. The back-in sites are on a angle which adds privacy and a view of the river from the patio side. Pull-through sites are parallel with the river with the patio facing the river. The trees are too young right now to provide shade. Little garden areas separate the wide sites. Parking is on gravel and large concrete patios with picnic tables make for a pleasant site. This park is big-rig and satellite-dish friendly and there is extra parking areas for boat trailers. Managers live on site and are extremely helpful. Owner is frequently at the park and is conscientious of RVers' needs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was recommended to us by a friend businessman in the town of Orofino, we're really glad to have stayed here. We were actually greeted by the manager as we drove into the park. I mean to say she came out of the office with the intent to greet us! WOW! How refreshing is that! The park is new, opened July 2006. Our spot was backed-up to the Clear Water river with a wonderful view. Some road noise during the day from the highway across the river, but not enough to discourage us from wanting to stay. They put the best components into this park, each site has a Powerhouse pedestal which consolidates the power, water, cable, sewer connections and lights up at night. Though they give discounts for various club members (Escapees, Passport Am), there are additional charges, $1 cable, $2 pet/day, $5 WIFI/day we thought the stay was worth every cent. My only nits would be that the WIFI charge is too high, $2/day is more like it and the pet charge without any benefits such as fenced in area, baggie/drop-can posts etc. What is the charge for? I'm thinking maybe it'll encourage irresponsible pet owners to be free with their droppings, after all they charge for clean up right? A medium sized grassed area that is fenced in for free roaming, socializing is common in parks that charge. Something for the management to think about. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This Forest Service campground is in a gorgeous area of the Clearwater National Forest right off of scenic Highway 12 on the Lochsa River. The Lochsa Lodge is nearby with an excellent restaurant. There was only one reason for the rating of 8 and that was due to personnel. The campground was about to be upgraded to 50 amp, but the camp host could not give us any information as to when this would be started or which part of the campground they would start on first and did not seem to really care if we were inconvenienced. Consequently, on our third night there, the construction crew set up shop in the site right next to ours and so instead of the birds being our alarm, the sound of heavy equipment woke us at 7:30am. Other then that small inconvenience this would definitely be a park we would visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an outstanding USFS campground located 12 miles west of Lolo Pass. Site 22 in the electric loop is a very large pull-thru with direct access to the river. Lots of trees and space between sites. Very quiet and peaceful. Only problem is the low voltage of the electric and fluctuations in current. Campground Host said this is to be improved. Several nice trails nearby and a lodge, restaurant and store within walking distance. Some sites can be reserved. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Have stayed here many times and will again. Campground sits along the Lochsa River which is a great fishing river and known for its class IV rapids. Asphalt pads are generally deep and level and the sites are well separated. Do watch for voltage drops in loop A (loop with power) as they can be significant. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This CG is on US 12,just west of Lolo Pass and is on the Lewis and Clark Trail.1/2 the sites have 30 amp h/u and are $15 ,while the others are no h/ups and are $7.50. This is a real gem of a F.S. cg and if we're ever in the area we'll stay there.All sites are level and paved and the bathrooms,some flush and some not were really clean. There are no showers,but just go down to the river(Lochsa river) and soak.REALLY good fishing.Stayed two nites,instead of one as planned.... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
