We RV in a 37' 5 th wheel sho I'm cautious about forest service CG's. The website showed the max RV as 30' but I always believe the rangers are conservative on their estimates. Other CG's west of here had max RV of 40' but I decided to take a look here. Site 1 will take a 38' trailer or motorhome with plenty of room to park your tow vehicle. Plus several good tent sites.

The website showed the max RV as 30' but I always believe the rangers are conservative on their estimates. Other CG's west of here had max RV of 40' but I decided to take a look here. Site 1 will take a 38' trailer or motorhome with plenty of room to park your tow vehicle. Plus several good tent sites. It's also Satellite friendly. Site 2 is the one we're took and it will fit a 42'.. had tow vehicle parking and tent sites is also SAT friendly.. but the trees are getting big... Site 3 is a great tent only spot with parking for 2 vehicles only. The site is 30 ft from the parking and is ON the river. The nite we were there there was a couple in a cab over pickup camper. Site 4 wil take a 35' RV but is narrow. Site 5 will take a 30' trailer and has nice large tent areas. Site 6 is really deep... like 60 ft.. good tent areas and is SAT friendly. Site 7 wil take a 35' RV.. good tent sites.. is SAT friendly.

If you like out-of-the way, small, quiet campgrounds, this is the place for you. Located on the Brushy Fork of the Lacsha River, it is a very scenic spot, close to the historic Lewis and Clark Trail and not far west of Lolo Pass. It was perfect for a one-night road trip stay. The unpaved road in the campground is tight and the sites are small, so I do not recommend this for bigger RVs. The pit toi...

We stumbled on this campground by luck when the campground we had chosen was unexpectedly closed. This little campground is right by a river, which was raging loud because it was spring. Lots of big shady trees, decent sized campsites with plenty of good tent spots. Nice hiking trail along a high ridge that follows part of the Lewis and Clark trail. One very clean vault toilet, no running water. N... We stumbled on this campground by luck when the campground we had chosen was unexpectedly closed.

Nice camp grounds, spaces are kinda of close, there's public restrooms. Great views! Only down sides, close to your neighbors, and the fishing pond is used for the fires. So the helicopter is over head often getting water.
