Glade Creek Campground

Glade Creek Campground is a group site along US Highway 12 in the Clearwater National Forest, about seven miles east of Lowell, Idaho. Set in the mountains of north central Idaho, the forested site offers campers river access and beautiful scenery, and suits groups of up to 35 people who want easy access to the Lochsa River. Popular activities include fishing and swimming. For whitewater thrill-seekers, the Wild and Scenic Lochsa River holds exciting floating and kayaking opportunities. There are three hiking and biking trails within two miles of the campground, #142, #111 and #107, which are also open to motorcycles from approximately June through September. Glade Creek has four campsites across about one acre, two of them adjacent to the river, plus a group fire ring with benches by the water. All four sites have accessible fire rings, ten-foot picnic tables, level tent pads and graveled parking areas, and site 2 has an extra table and several tent sites. The spurs are short and not suitable for RVs greater than 24 feet. The campground has one unisex vault toilet and no water, sewer or power hookups. Garbage service is not provided, so please follow the pack-it-in, pack-it-out philosophy to keep this beautiful location clean. The campground sits between US Highway 12 and the Lochsa River, on a large bend that hides the beach completely from the highway. With shade from the surrounding stand of mixed-age conifers and low-growing shrubs, it is a cool reprieve during the summer.
