About This Location

Experience primitive camping in the rugged Owyhee River Canyon. This scenic BLM site offers a year-round escape for those seeking solitude in nature.

Perched at an elevation of 4,792 feet, North Fork Campground provides a raw and immersive outdoor experience along the dramatic North Fork of the Owyhee River Canyon. This site is a gateway to the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, situated within a region designated as Wilderness in 2009.

As a primitive, semi-developed BLM site, the campground is best suited for self-sufficient tent campers who are comfortable with a minimalist lifestyle. There are no hookups or potable water facilities available on-site, so visitors must arrive fully prepared with all necessary supplies. The campground operates year-round, allowing for flexible travel planning regardless of the season.

Whether you are a seasoned backpacker or a nature enthusiast, the North Fork area is ideal for those who prioritize solitude and quiet exploration over modern conveniences. Please practice Leave No Trace principles to help preserve the pristine, untouched character of this spectacular canyon environment.
