About This Location

Discover Orogrande Summit Campground in Idaho. A rugged, year-round USFS site perfect for dispersed camping and accessing the Columbia Ridge Trail.

Nestled in the heart of Idaho’s Rocky Mountains, Orogrande Summit Campground offers a rugged, back-to-basics escape for those looking to immerse themselves in alpine wilderness. This USFS-managed site features dispersed camp pads set amidst open timber, providing a serene environment on the scenic route toward Buffalo Hump. Its high-elevation setting makes it an ideal destination for adventurers who appreciate the raw beauty of the Idaho backcountry and the chance to spot native mountain wildlife.

While the campground is developed with designated pads, it operates as a rustic experience with no utility hookups available, making it best suited for self-contained RV travelers and tent campers who are comfortable with primitive conditions. The site serves as a fantastic basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts, acting as the official trailhead for the Columbia Ridge Trail #205. Hikers can easily access miles of mountain paths, while those interested in exploring further can reach the picturesque Wildhorse Lake just two miles northwest by road.

Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to park your rig or a convenient jumping-off point for a mountain trek, Orogrande Summit provides an authentic taste of the Idaho high country.
