About

Goose Crk/Lake Creek Camp is located in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests in north-central Idaho's Clearwater County. This primitive camping area is part of the expansive 4-million-acre forest system that features rugged canyons, dense cedar forests, rivers, and diverse mountain terrain. The campground appears to be a basic, undeveloped site typical of dispersed camping areas in this region. The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests offer numerous camping opportunities ranging from developed campgrounds to primitive backcountry sites, with this location falling on the more primitive end of the spectrum. Like most campgrounds in the Clearwater National Forest, this site is likely seasonal due to winter snow and road closures common at higher elevations. Visitors should be prepared for primitive conditions and pack in all necessary supplies, including water.
