The place

the agency’s own description · what’s there

In the agency’s own words

A popular spot with the locals, the quaint Glade Creek Group Campground has five sites and is peacefully tucked away on about four acres, alongside a rolling river and under a canopy of mixed-age conifers and low-growing shrubs. The vegetation provides privacy for each site as well as shade in the summer, and due to its position along a large bend in the river, and private beach access, this area is popular with groups of rafters and family gatherings. The campground is located thirty-one miles east of Kooskia and about eight miles east of Lowell, Idaho. Gas, groceries, and other services are available in Kooskia. Keep reading

This campground is only available as a group site and is reservable through http://www.recreation.gov. It consist of 4 sites that accomodate no more than 35 people and offers picnic tables, fire rings, and a toilet. Popular activities include fishing, swimming and rafting. And for the hikers and mountain bikers, there are three hiking/biking trails within two miles of the campground. Trails are also open to motorcycles from June-September.

Phone before you drive

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

Booking window6 months outBooking opens 6 months ahead; today unlocks arrivals through April 16, 2027. The agency publishes no reservable season in the record we hold, so the window may close earlier than that.recreation.gov

The booking feerecreation.gov
We hold no recreation.gov booking record for this campground, so we can’t say whether a booking fee applies.
What a stay costs
