Wendover Campground

Name: Wendover Campground

Wendover Campground is situated on the flat land beside the Lochsa River in a beautiful, mature forest. There is moss hanging from the older trees in some areas. To top it off, there is a small creek running through the middle of the campground.

Campsites: Camp hosts, Bill and Norene, are stationed near the entrance and are there to help you. There are 27 tent / RV camping sites in Wendover Campground. Each have paved driveways, a picnic table and a fire ring. These driveways are long and should accommodate any RV. The forest is heavy all around but the campsites are cleared and somewhat grassy.

Water: We found two wells with hand pumps; one had rusty water and the other was metallic, but tolerable. You might bring your own drinking water.

Garbage Services: Available in bearwise dumpster.

Restroom: Yes, vault style outhouses which were clean and well stocked, but had been invaded by large black ants when we were there.

Mike :

Charges are too much for the campground. The 4 water pumps there are limited and only two work. The campground definitely needs some TLC for the charges.
