The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Lola Creek Campground sits adjacent to Marsh Creek. Marsh Creek Trailhead is a short distance away as is the trailhead to Lola Lakes. Each of the 21 campsites is equipped with picnic tables and fire rings with cooking grills. The campground amenities include vault toilets, trash removal services and handpumps for drinking water. The campground accommodates trailers and motorhomes up to 35 feet long. There are no hookups and the stay limit is 14 days. The trail along Marsh Creek heads into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $10 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
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.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($10), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
