About this campground
Nestled at the confluence of two pristine waterways, this hidden gem offers anglers and nature enthusiasts direct access to the crystal-clear waters of Leggett Creek and the renowned South Fork of the Clearwater River. Whether you're casting a line at dawn or simply soaking in the tranquil sounds of rushing water, this campground serves as your gateway to some of the region's most rewarding fishing experiences.
Leggett Creek Campground provides basic camping options suitable for RVs, trailers, and tent setups. Group camping or luxury accommodations are not available.
Historical SignificanceThis area has long been cherished by generations of outdoor enthusiasts who have discovered its peaceful waters and abundant natural resources. The confluence of Leggett Creek and the South Fork has served as a gathering place for those seeking solitude and connection with nature.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the beauty of all four seasons at this year-round destination. While the campground welcomes visitors throughout the calendar, winter adventurers should note that heavy snowfall may occasionally limit access. Spring brings excellent fishing conditions as snowmelt feeds the rivers, summer offers warm days perfect for streamside relaxation, and fall paints the surrounding landscape in brilliant golds and crimsons.
ElevationPerched at 3,640 feet above sea level, the campground offers a refreshing mountain climate that provides cool relief during summer months and crisp, invigorating air year-round. This elevation creates ideal conditions for both comfortable camping and active fish populations in the nearby waters.
Natural Features and SceneryWhere Leggett Creek meets the South Fork of the Clearwater River, nature has created a spectacular aquatic playground. The convergence of these two waterways forms deep pools, gentle riffles, and scenic rapids that not only support diverse fish populations but also create a soundtrack of flowing water that lulls campers to sleep each night. Towering evergreens line the banks, providing shade and habitat for local wildlife.
Geological RegionSet within a dramatic mountainous landscape carved by centuries of flowing water, the campground sits in a valley where ancient geological forces have created the perfect habitat for outdoor recreation. The surrounding peaks and ridges frame views in every direction, while the river valleys below showcase the powerful erosive forces that have shaped this rugged terrain into today's scenic wonderland.
