About this campground
Nestled in the heart of Idaho's historic timber country, Camp 32 offers an authentic backcountry experience with 8 well-spaced sites, each featuring its own picnic table and fire ring for those memorable evening gatherings under the stars. This rustic retreat welcomes RVs up to 20 feet and opens onto a sprawling meadow perfect for games, stargazing, or simply soaking in the mountain air. While you'll find clean vault toilets for your convenience, the absence of potable water adds to the genuine wilderness experience—so come prepared with your own supply for this off-the-grid adventure.
Camp 32 features 8 campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. The sites accommodate RVs up to 20 feet and are suitable for tent camping as well.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at this storied location, where the echoes of sawmills and the calls of timber workers once filled the air. Established in 1924 as a bustling logging camp, these grounds witnessed the golden age of Idaho's lumber industry, when massive old-growth trees were felled and floated downriver. Today, Camp 32 stands as a living monument to the hardy souls who carved their livelihood from these forests, offering modern adventurers a chance to sleep where loggers once laid their heads after long days of backbreaking work.
Weather and Seasonsnull
ElevationPerched at 2,755 feet above sea level, Camp 32 offers that perfect sweet spot of mountain camping—high enough to escape the summer heat of the valleys below, yet accessible enough for comfortable camping. At this elevation, you'll breathe crisp, pine-scented air and enjoy cooler evenings that make gathering around the campfire all the more inviting.
Natural Features and SceneryYour camping adventure unfolds on the historic lands once owned by the legendary Bonners Ferry Lumber Company, where towering second-growth forests now stand sentinel over grounds that witnessed a century of logging history. The landscape tells a story of regeneration and resilience, with young pines and firs reclaiming spaces where giants once stood, creating a diverse ecosystem that attracts wildlife and offers endless exploration opportunities.
Geological RegionSet within the storied territory of the former Bonners Ferry Lumber Company holdings, Camp 32 occupies a unique position in North Idaho's geological and cultural landscape. These lands, shaped by ancient glaciers and volcanic activity, later became the backbone of the region's timber industry. Today, the rolling terrain and rich soils that once nurtured massive cedars and pines provide the perfect backdrop for your outdoor adventure.
