Setting
Set along Birch Creek, this campground features roughly 25 campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms, alongside larger undeveloped camping areas to the south. Four group sites are also on site. Recent flooding created road washouts and eroded gaps up to three and a half feet deep across the property. The creek provides fishing for brook, rainbow, and brown trout. A stop on the Nez Perce National Historic Trail sits near the main entrance with interpretive panels.
