This shady, forested campground is adjacent to Lolo Creek and Lee Creek. Lewis and Clark/ Nez Perce National Historic Trail is nearby. Winter recreation opportunities such as cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are available in the area.
From Lolo, MT, take US Rt. 12 west 26.5 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
Unexpected gem. Two camping areas, one heavily treed on creek, and another on a shelf above the other area and interspersed with some pine and larch, most of which have been removed due to insects and disease. Paved road and driveways. Best part was the plethora of hiking trails allowing easy access to gorgeous country. Lolo Hot Springs only 1.4 miles away. Only complaint was bathrooms. We never observed them being cleaned during our seven days.
Nice Forest Service campground. We had site 3, with a level place to pitch our tent and right next to the creek. There were plenty of spots when we arrived around 7:30 pm on a Monday evening in August. The vault toilet was clean and not too smelly and there were no particular problems with bugs. It cost ten dollars a night.
Lots of spaces to choose from. Good stop between Lewiston and Missoula.
Decent trails for hiking or biking. Smaller and fairly quiet. Some of the spots lack shade because of necessary logging of damaged timber....but that makes for lots of wood for campfires. Enjoyed our time there!
