It is about 25 miles east of the Summit Ranger Station. There are two loops in the campground: A-Loop and B-Loop. Both loops have paved roads and parking pads. A-Loop has 28 sites with a table and a campfire ring at each site. Three of the sites are double sites. The restrooms are vault toilets. Water is available at hydrants serving several sites. A-loop is the first to open and last to close during the camping season. B-Loop has 60 sites, six are double sites. There are flush toilets in B-Loop. Three sites near the first restroom are fully accessible. There is no fee for parking extra cars in the campground. An RV dump station is located near the entrance road to Clark Fork Campground; the fee for the dump station is $6.
25 miles east of Pinecrest on Clark Fork Road, near Clark Fork Horse Campground and Iceberg Meadow Trailhead.
While on a road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northern Colorado in mid-August, 2021, we stayed at this campground for 1 night and had no problem, without a reservation, finding a site on a Saturday night. You will arrive at this campground after leaving CA Hwy 108 and driving about 6 miles on Clark Fork Road, a good paved road, suitable for all types of vehicles. The drive takes you through the 2018 Donnell Fire burn scar; the campground itself was not burned and is pleasantly forested. All sites are easy walking distance from the Clark Fork River, a welcoming place where you can fish or wade in the cool water. The flush toilets and potable water spigots throughout the campground make for a nice stay. NOTE: In the summer of 2021, camping fees were payable with cash-only.
Quiet, clean, friendly camp hosts. Peaceful and beautiful place next to a river in the middle of the mountains. Free to collect fire wood so keep that in mind, and they also have clean toilets WITH toilet paper.
Nice, quiet little campground to take your family for a quick trip. Clean bathrooms and the camphosts are super friendly. Plenty things to do with fishing, hiking or just star gazing. Peaceful and relaxing. Love coming here.
There are restrooms, dogs are allowed on leads, great mountain views, and an amazing experience.
It’s a nice place to relax with family. Nice bathrooms. Really cold at night during summer, but hot during the day. The river goes too fast so it’s kinda hard finding a spot to get in (if you want, realllyyyyy cold water when i went). Also a downside is that there’s no wifi :)
