About Weitas Creek Campground
Weitas Campground is a very popular, no fee campground that’s located about 35 miles northeast of Pierce, just off Forest Service road [FSR] 250. Much of the campground’s appeal comes from its location along the shady banks of Weitas Creek, just south of the North Fork of the Clearwater River (you cross a bridge to reach the campground.) There are only six campsites, so Weitas Campground tends to fill quickly during the height of the summer recreation season. Trail 20 runs south, and then east, out of the campground, providing miles of first-class bank fishing opportunities. The trail eventually junctions with FSR 500, the Lolo Motorway.
- Season: The campground is open year-round, but might not be accessible because of snow.
- Managed by: USFS - Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests
- Where: 20 mi northeast of Pierce, ID · 46.63757, -115.43308
