3 Reviews Add Review

Within Clearwater National Forest, Dog Creek Camp operates as a US Forest Service campground from mid-May through late September. The sites feature gravel access roads with camping areas covered in soft evergreen needles, eliminating the need to clear rocks before setting up. Reviewers note the spacious, private sites and direct access to river water nearby.

The campground provides vault toilets but no showers or water hookups. Hot springs are accessible within a short drive from camp. Campers seeking additional forest options can explore places to camp around Clearwater National Forest, while nearby Aquarius Campground sits less than two miles south.

Visitors often highlighted the spacious, private sites with well-maintained terrain and river access. Clean facilities were noted though amenities are basic with no showers or water hookups.

Great for backcountry people.

The sites are private and spacious and there is access to the river water. For the sake of the name bring your dog and have a good time. Make sure you know where you are going on your way up here because it’s easy to get lost.

This area is very mellow and is a great area for bird watching as there’s not a lot of people or traffic in this area. The ground is covered with gravel for driving and is soil covered with evergreen needles on the sites themselves. You don’t have to go through and clear rocks in these areas. It’s a win win if you like that dispersed camping feel.

Spacious site!

Nicely spaced out sites! Pet and family friendly. Short drive to a beautiful lake or river with hot springs. Clean outhouse bathrooms, no showers. Friendly hosts. There is currently no water hookups due to COVID. Seems to be a popular area, so recommend reservations, but we got lucky and found a site on a Friday.
