About this campground
Tucked away in the pristine wilderness of northwest Idaho, Hidden Creek Campground lives up to its name as a secluded sanctuary where ancient cedar groves meet the pristine waters of the North Fork Clearwater River. This intimate retreat features 13 thoughtfully spaced individual campsites and one group tent camping area, each offering a front-row seat to nature's grandeur. Whether you're casting a line into the crystal-clear river waters or exploring forest trails that wind through towering cedars, Hidden Creek provides the perfect basecamp for those who crave authentic wilderness experiences far from the crowds.
Hidden Creek Campground provides options for both individual and group tent camping.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living cathedral of ancient western red cedars, where massive trunks rise like pillars into a verdant canopy overhead. These old-growth giants, some centuries old, create a natural amphitheater of tranquility along the banks of the North Fork Clearwater River. The river itself flows clear and cold, its gentle murmur providing a constant soundtrack to your stay. Morning mist often drifts through the cedar boughs, while afternoon sunlight filters through the canopy in golden streams. The understory bursts with ferns and moss-covered logs, creating an ecosystem that feels untouched by time.
