About This Location

Experience primitive camping at South Fork Group Site 5 in Idaho’s Nez Perce National Forest, located right along the scenic South Fork Clearwater River.

South Fork Group Site 5 offers a rugged, back-to-basics escape nestled directly along the banks of the South Fork Clearwater River. Managed by the USFS, this primitive site is ideal for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The setting is defined by its peaceful riverside location, providing a serene backdrop for groups seeking a quiet retreat in the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest.

This site is specifically designed to accommodate larger gatherings, with enough space to host up to 25 people. Because the site is primitive, visitors should come prepared with their own supplies, as amenities are limited to vault toilets and picnic tables. There are no utility hookups available, making it a perfect spot for self-contained RVs or tent campers who enjoy a more authentic, off-grid experience.

The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy fishing for trout, steelhead, and salmon in the nearby river. During the appropriate season, the surrounding landscape is also excellent for berry picking. Whether you are planning a family reunion or a group excursion, this site provides a simple, scenic basecamp for exploring the wilderness year-round.
