Photo of Copper Creek Falls near Copper Creek CampgroundCopper Creek Campground features 16 camp units (3 accessible), potable water, accessible vault toilets, and a scenic location on the Moyie River. Beautiful Copper Falls viewpoint trail is 1.5 miles east on Copper Falls Road #2517 and there is fishing access to the Moyie River.
From Bonners Ferry, ID, take US Rt. 95 north for 29.8 miles to campground sign (Forest Rt. 2517). Turn right onto Rt. 2517 and go 0.7 miles to another campground sign. Turn right into campground.
We were camp hosts for summer 2022. We met amazing people. We loved everything about Copper Creek. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing get away this campground is it.
We had so much fun camping together as a family group. We took up 3 spaces all together. It's in a beautiful area with lots of lakes, a beautiful river, waterfall, and hiking to see and do! Spruce Lake has fish literally leaping out of it right in front of you!
Only thing I would say is I would camp away from the camp host - more private. :)
Nice campground, Facilities like vaulted toilets very clean. Has water stations that are on during summer month...love this place
This is a wonderful campground. It has been one of our favorites for years. We've camped here many times in our tent and loved it. This year we brought our RV and it was just as wonderful. I don't know where that person who camped here said the campground was full of RVs and ATVs and no privacy 10 months ago was, but it wasn't here. 10 months ago would be last September....I doubt the campground was full then, as it would have been off season. Usually in off season, Forest Service campgrounds out here are empty and completely free to use. Also, the campsites are huge. Most are very private. So, that person has probably never been to this particular campground. In any event, we love staying here. If you do come, don't forget to drive the 1.5 miles down the road and visit Copper Creek Falls.
The campground is beautiful and well maintained but the camp hosts are the rudest we’ve ever encountered (Mike & Dale Rhoads). They threatened to kick us out. All we wanted to do was have a place to camp and enjoy company of friends. They threatened other campers as well. We are middle aged and were not causing any problems and we always leave a clean campsite. These camp hosts need to be replaced with hosts who are not on a power trip.
