Pink House Day Use Pavilions

Open

This is a day-use only facility for reservable picnic pavilions. Overnight camping is not permitted here. The pavilions are open and reservable through Recreation.gov. Note: flush toilets and the RV dump station at the broader Pink House Recreation Site are out of service due to sewage lift station construction that began March 16, 2026, expected to be completed before summer 2026.

From Recreation.gov

The BLM will be completing an overhaul of the sewage lift station at Pink House Recreation Site, which will require a **temporary closure of the sewer dump station and the flush toilets, starting March 16, 2026, and lasting several months**. These amenities are expected to be available and fully functioning before summer 2026. The site will remain open during this time, with camp sites on first-come first-served basis, although the **flush toilets and RV dump station will be out of service and electrical access may be intermittent due to construction activities.**

About

Located at the BLM's Pink House Recreation Site along the Clearwater River, these two reservable day-use pavilions offer a scenic setting for group gatherings. The facility sits at 980 feet elevation, surrounded by semi-arid hills and shaded by native trees. A short walk leads to a large sandy beach on the river. The pavilions feature electricity, lighting, standing BBQ grills, and accessible picnic tables on concrete pads. Concrete pathways connect the pavilions to parking and restrooms. This is a day-use only facility; overnight parking is prohibited in the day-use parking areas. Overnight camping is available separately at the adjacent Pink House Recreation Site campground.
