This campground is located in the canyon bottom along the Clark Fork River. The site is adjacent to the highway and across the road from the river, and forested with Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine and western larch providing abundant shade. Fishing opportunities are available at the river. The Iron Mountain Trail #242, historic wagon road, terminus is in the campground.
From St. Regis, travel 18 miles east on state highway 135. Campground is travel the south side of the highway.
Some sites are way better than others, we unfortunately we're at a site that had no shade, but other sites there had lots of trees and overall the campground was really nice, clean outhouses, we'll definitely be back.
Honestly, it's kinda hard to get a mid-sized camper in. There's really only 2 good spots for that. As for the rest, you would be better off camping in a tent. There are boxes to keep food inside of just in case a bear comes wandering through. There is a guide on what to do on all of the tables.
Great 3 day stay. Clean, quiet, off the beaten path, at least on weekdays.
Good place to camp while taking advantage of the excellent hiking to be found nearby.
And a few fish in the creek.
It's an awesome campground with stream access on the western campsites. There's two loops. The left loop has more tree cover, whereas the right loop has none (which is fine, just bring a canopy).
Beautiful surroundings very near the West Fork Rock Creek (WFRC). Bear resistant metal food storage bins are included with the campsites. The restrooms are pit toilets, but were clean. WFRC is a small mountain stream with lots of 6"-8" Brook trout that are fun to catch on dry flies.
