Tip for Other Campers:

Very easy to drive right past as signage for the campground is non existent at the roadside of highway 12. There is a separate facility, Lochsa Lodge, that has signs posted but not the usual forestry campground sign most folks would be looking for. Restaurant at Lochsa Lodge has free wifi for guests and we visited to connect to family for updates on our...

BEAUTIFUL park, as one would expect for this neck of the woods. Our site was a pull aside spot and was paved. It had a small trail leading straight down to the river side which was great for cooling...

Tips from campers about Powell Campground

  • Ccheema Very easy to drive right past as signage for the campground is non existent at the roadside of highway 12. There is a separate facility, Lochsa Lodge, that has signs posted but not the usual forestry campground sign most folks would be looking for. Restaurant at Lochsa Lodge has free wifi for guests and we visited to connect to family for updates on our location this way. Otherwise no cell service.
  • Matthew Hughes The log built lodge just outside the entrance has gas($$$), bar, food and WiFi. Nearest store outside of this is 40 miles. come with vittles if the lodge doesnt suit.
  • Gma Linda Walk up to the Lochsa Lodge for a meal. If you have breakfast there, I do not recommend their french toast. Pancakes and cinnamon rolls are huge! We talked to our neighbors in the campground and they said their breakfast of eggs and biscuits were good.

Great National Forest Park! We didn't reserve a spot so took our chance at a first come/first serve site. We arrived around 1pm and had several in Loop A to choose from. Sites are spacious with...
