About this campground
Hidden deep within towering evergreens, Halfway House Campground offers an intimate escape into the wilderness with just three secluded campsites. A babbling creek winds through this rustic retreat, providing a natural soundtrack to your outdoor adventure. Each site comes equipped with a sturdy table and fire ring for evening gatherings under the stars, while thoughtfully designed stock facilities welcome equestrian explorers and their four-legged companions on backcountry journeys.
The campground offers basic camping options suitable for tents and horse/pack animal setups. RV or other specialized camping accommodations are not mentioned.

Weather and SeasonsExperience the campground's dramatic seasonal transformations throughout the year. Summer brings warm days perfect for creek-side relaxation, while autumn paints the forest in golden hues. Winter transforms this mountain sanctuary into a snow-laden wonderland, though heavy snowfall may temporarily close access roads. Come prepared for freezing temperatures and deep snow during winter months, when the campground becomes a pristine backdrop for those seeking true solitude.
ElevationPerched at 5,000 feet above sea level, this mountain campground offers refreshingly cool temperatures even during summer's peak. The crisp mountain air and cooler climate provide welcome relief from valley heat, though visitors should pack layers for chilly mornings and evenings throughout the camping season.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a cathedral of towering conifers where sunlight filters through the canopy to dance on the creek below. This pristine mountain stream meanders through camp, offering peaceful spots for quiet reflection or splash-worthy fun. As your gateway to the magnificent Gospel Hump Wilderness Area, the campground positions you perfectly for exploring one of Idaho's most spectacular backcountry regions, where untamed wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see.
Geological RegionNestled within the vast Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, this campground showcases the region's signature landscape of dense coniferous forests and crystal-clear mountain streams. The surrounding old-growth timber stands as testament to the area's rich ecological heritage, creating a living museum of Pacific Northwest forest ecosystems.
