Wild Goose Campground

Wild Goose Campground offers a truly immersive nature experience situated directly along the middle fork of the Clearwater River. Located at milepost 98 on the scenic Highway 12, this USFS-managed site is defined by its stunning riverside access, where guests can enjoy the feel of the sand underfoot before diving into the mountain waters. It is an ideal basecamp for those passionate about water sports, providing easy access to tubing, swimming, and whitewater kayaking in a beautiful Rocky Mountain setting.

This is a primitive, federal campground designed for those who enjoy a back-to-basics outdoor experience. The site features eight individual campsites and two toilets, with gravel parking areas available for visitors. Because there are no hookups or additional amenities listed, campers should come prepared to be self-sufficient throughout their stay.

This campground is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts and families who value location and adventure over modern convenience. Whether you are tent camping or utilizing a smaller rig, the site provides a quiet, year-round retreat for those looking to explore the river or take advantage of nearby equipment rentals and guided trips in the local area.
