"A central place to explore the Big Hole"

This is a fine community campsite just west of Wisdom, near the west shore of the Big Hole River. Even though I've come to Wisdom for over 60 years, I never tire of the ever-shifting views. It's very informal, and there is room for at least 10... Read more

"Quiet boondocking just south of Grand Canyon east"

The Desert View Campground was closed in late March, so we stayed here. The road turns off to the west from Hwy 64, just south of Mile Marker 170. It's a fairly steep drop, and there are some pits in the road at the cattle guard and beyond. We... Read more

"Excellent dispersed camping area with plenty of room"

This area is on a bend of the Clark Fork river just upstream of the Cascade Campground, and just downstream of the overpass where the railroad crosses the highway. There are signs on the highway just before the turnoff, but slow down or you'll... Read more

"What a FS campground should be"

This is one of my favorite campgrounds--not just because it's in a beautiful, old-growth ponderosa pine stand with plenty of space between sites. It's also named for Sam Billings, one of the fine old forest rangers I knew in my youth, along with... Read more

"Dispersed camping near the creek, above the hot springs"

Some of the hot springs books and maps still in print refer to the Basin Creek Campground & hot spring. The campground was flooded and removed years ago. However, there's a narrow FS road going up the right side of Basin Creek with several nice,... Read more

"USFS camping like it used to be"

This is an older, primitive, 4-site, old-fashioned Forest Service campground 9 miles up dirt roads from the Lima exit. I'd not recommend it for large RV's, but it's a great place to get away. We stayed in a small Aliner trailer. We picked the... Read more

"Great place to stay while riding the Hiawatha trail"

We stayed here in an Aliner folding trailer for 2 nights in early September while bicycling the Hiawatha. It's not far from the freeway, but quiet and uncrowded. The outhouses are the basic USFS variety and were clean. The sites are level and... Read more

"Convenient, quiet, and friendly"

We spent a week in Crescent City to get away from the smoke nearly everywhere else. They put us in Site 29, in the lower loop behind the office. This is the loop I'd recommend because there is good spacing between sites and traffic passes the... Read more
