USFS $10. FCFS self pay, Host on site; Bill, and he’s quite nice to chat with, plus keeps a clean and “policed” camp. 2 loops both with 4 sites along a noisy creek that drowns out most highway noise. Clean pit toilets, bear storage lockers, trash, but no potable water. Tables and fire pits at sites. Zero Verizon, but ATT works depending on location in camp. Easy in/out, road good, turnaround at both loops. Medium sized rigs okay, but probably not over 30’, as sites are short. Sun and mixed shade. Nice camp.

Located below the Chief Joseph Highway overlook and the Sunlight Bridge. Nice campground with 5sites on each side of the swift and rocky stream. Picnic tables fire rings and bear boxes. About 3 minute drive from the sunlight bridge (awesome overlook)
Some signal with ATT
Open range cattle grazed around our site Monday afternoon and into the night and they were fine… just curious… fun to watch.
Our site was just steps away from the creek. We picked sage to burn in the campfire to keep mosquitoes away.

Great, quiet site right by the creek. Camp host was sweet! One side of creek was full- but sites on other side were empty. Flat, level site w table, bear box and fire ring. $10 night- 1/2 price w senior park pass! Chief Joseph highway nearby is amazing!!!!

This is a small US Forest Service campground. It has about 10 sites, only one other site occupied while we were there. It is close to road but has stream running through campground that covers up a lot of the little noise that comes from road. Internet is ATT 4g. This is grizzly bear country , not sure if they allow tents or not.
