Description
Located at Forest Road 247 mile 23.2. This campground is on river right and has 9 developed fee sites (upstream of the bridge) and 2 group campsites (Purple Beach; downstream of the bridge) on the bank of the scenic North Fork of the Clearwater. These sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Forest Road 247 is paved all the way from Headquarters, although narrow and lumpy in spots, but the pavement ends 6 miles upstream of the campground. Kayakers can take out on river right downstream of the bridge at Purple Beach. This access requires a short climb up the trail to the dispersed camping area and picnic site where parking is available.
