About
Dog Creek Camp is a primitive dispersed camping area located in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests of north-central Idaho, in Clearwater County. The site is situated along Dog Creek amid mixed conifer forest typical of the region. As an undeveloped dispersed camping area on National Forest land, Dog Creek Camp offers a basic backcountry experience without formal amenities or services. Campers should be prepared to be self-sufficient, bringing their own water and packing out all trash. Standard National Forest dispersed camping regulations apply, including a 14-day stay limit. The surrounding Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests provide opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The area is remote with limited to no cell coverage.
Directions
From Mountain Home, Idaho, travel east on State Highway 20 for 35 miles to the turnoff for Pine/Featherville (Forest Service Highway 61). Travel north on Highway 61 for 23 miles to the campground.
