A more rustic campground. No water but there are restrooms. It's free. Took at least 20 min to get to from the main road. Nogarbage cans. You have to carry out anything you bring in. The road in is partially gravel with the last part being about a 15% grade, according to the Corps of Engineers.
I grew up around this campground and come back whenever I possibly can! Serene, clean, spacious, wildlife abounds and the lake is really always wonderful with the boat launch and free camping! What else can you ask for? Vaulted toilets, YES! Pack in and pack out your garbage, no water for drinking or showers. Plenty of hiking trails too!
June 2019. Free. Fishing is limited from shore. Excellent from boat. Gorgeous views, quiet. Off the beaten path and 20 minutes from Orofino
Great boondocking spot. The campground is much bigger than you think at first. Keep driving past the initial 5-7 sites and you will find many more, many of them larger. All sites are mostly flat and shaded. Some are on the river and you can enjoy the sounds of water as you fall asleep. We have a 38 foot fifth wheel and easily found a comfortable place for us.
