Loved it here. Most of the sites if not all, are spacious and somewhat private. A couple of hiking trails from the campground. No showers but flush toilets. The lodge next door has gas/diesel and dining options. You can also get limited internet at the lodge.

We got the last spot! And it was gorgeous. Plenty of trees, level, and large. We could hear road noise occasionally, big rigs braking, but mostly heard the river. The non-electric sites were more secluded and would stay there next time if available. We used senior pass to get the $10 rate, regular rate is $20 for electric, $16 non... more
We got the last spot! And it was gorgeous. Plenty of trees, level, and large. We could hear road noise occasionally, big rigs braking, but mostly heard the river. The non-electric sites were more secluded and would stay there next time if available. We used senior pass to get the $10 rate, regular rate is $20 for electric, $16 non. Water available at two locations on the elec. loop, vault and flush toilets available. River access from elec. loop is very steep but access from the non-elec loop was perfect.

Very nice campground with electric only hookups or dry camping in separate loops. We paid the $20 for electricity however the dry sites for $16 were nice as well. The water gets shut off at some point but it wasn’t clear as to when they do that.
There is river access. Sites are well positioned for privacy. Far enough from the highway so there is no road noise. If you’re a hiker there is a trail leaving right from the iron ranger.
I don’t believe that this campground is open all year any longer because I saw a sign stating that it was being closed October 30th.
All in all a nice place for an overnight or a longer stay too.

We loved Powell Campground. It was not far from the main road, but we did not have any road noise. There were many trees, and we could hear the river from our site. The electric loop did seem to be more crowded, and have more activity going on. I think this must be a popular site for residents of Missoula to camp on the weekends.
Water was not drinkable.
Flush toilets were clean.
Campground hosts do not arrive until mid June.
I was nervous about going over Lolo Pass, but it was fine. We stopped at the top of the pass and enjoyed the small visitor center.
Wifi (very weak signal) available at Lochsa Lodge. We had breakfast there one morning and that was a nice treat. No cell service for 40+ miles.
Gas available at the Lodge.
Small store with a few items also available at the Lodge.

This is a forest service campground but it has electric hookup in about half the sites, and flush toilets. It is next door to a lodge with a restaurant, fuel and a convenience store, but they cannot be seen from the campground. The roads and sites pads are paved and there were a number of pull throughs.

This is a forest service campground but it has electric hookup in about half the sites, and flush toilets. It is next door to a lodge with a restaurant, fuel and a convenience store, but they cannot be seen from the campground. The roads and sites pads are paved and there were a number of pull throughs. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. It's a lovely place in the woods. The full rate for electric is $20 and non electric is $14. No cell service is the only reason it is not 5 star.
