About

Wendover Campground is situated on a stretch of land along the Wild and Scenic Lochsa River off the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway and All American Road (US Highway 12) at mile post 158.2. The campground features 27 campsites all positioned within a mature, moss-covered pine forest centered around a small stream, offering a serene spot for camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, nature viewing, and relaxing. The campground can accommodate RVs up to 40 feet and typically operates with on-site hosts during the season. The location provides excellent access to the Wild and Scenic Lochsa River for fishing and the surrounding area for wildlife viewing and hiking. The campground sits in a dense forest environment at approximately 3,400 feet elevation in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests. When open, the campground typically operates from late May through early October. The site features vault toilets but no potable water is available on-site, so campers must bring their own drinking water. Each campsite includes standard amenities such as fire pits and picnic tables.
