About
Bungalow Camp refers to the area surrounding the historic Bungalow Ranger Station site on the North Fork Clearwater River in Clearwater County, Idaho. Originally established as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp (designated F-193, Company 603) in 1936, this remote location served as an important administrative and work site during the CCC era. The historic ranger station is now used primarily as a landmark for navigation along Forest Service Road 250. The area sits within the North Fork Ranger District of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, surrounded by rugged mountain terrain and dense forests. The North Fork Clearwater River offers excellent fishing and class III-IV whitewater opportunities. Access is via FSR 250, a gravel road that continues northeast from Pierce toward Superior, Montana. Road conditions are highly seasonal, with snow blocking access from late fall through late spring. This is not a developed campground with designated sites or maintained facilities. Dispersed camping may be available in the general area under standard National Forest regulations, including a 14-day stay limit. Campers should be fully self-sufficient and prepared for primitive backcountry conditions.
Directions
From Pierce, Idaho, take Forest Service Road 250 northeast approximately 45 miles. The historic Bungalow Ranger Station site is located after crossing the North Fork of the Clearwater River. The road is gravel and conditions vary seasonally.
