Wilderness Gateway Access

Wilderness Gateway Campground provides direct access to the Wild and Scenic Lochsa River with multiple river access points along Highway 12 for whitewater rafting and fishing.

The 91-site campground offers paved parking, flush toilets, drinking water, and a dump station, with specialized equestrian facilities in Loop D and a large group shelter.

Several hiking trails depart from the campground into the adjacent Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, and the site is located at milepost 122 on the scenic Lewis and Clark Highway (US 12), approximately 25 miles east of Lowell, Idaho.
