Best Time to Camp at Glover Campground

Summer is the prime season here. May through September brings daytime highs of 70-85°F and nighttime lows of 40-50°F, with dry conditions and full campground access. Long daylight hours make backcountry loops and day trips practical. The season ends September 30 when snow begins limiting access. Winter brings deep snow that makes vehicle access challenging, transforming the area into a true backcountry destination for winter sports enthusiasts willing to deal with the conditions.

About Glover Campground

Glover Campground sits deep in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests at 2,096 feet, offering primitive camping for visitors seeking isolation over amenities. The campground has basic facilities (vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings) and charges $8 per night. Open May 12 through September 30, it is a trailhead for Roundtop Trail #705 and Glover Trail #704, with a stock ramp for equestrian access.

Glover Campground offers primitive camping options. RV camping is feasible as long as vehicles can access unpaved roads beyond the seven-mile mark. Tent camping is supported, and the campground also accommodates group camping through larger open sites.

Weather and SeasonsSummer is the prime season here. May through September brings daytime highs of 70-85°F and nighttime lows of 40-50°F, with dry conditions and full campground access.

Winter brings deep snow that makes vehicle access challenging, transforming the area into a true backcountry destination for winter sports enthusiasts willing to deal with the conditions.

ElevationNestled at an undisclosed elevation within the mountainous terrain, the campground offers that perfect high-country feel where the air is crisp and the views stretch endlessly through towering evergreens.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a forested setting shaped by ancient volcanic activity and glacial carving, with rolling ridges and deep valleys characteristic of Idaho's backcountry. Conifers provide shade in the wooded sites. The surrounding forest offers fishing access and trail networks that wind through the region's varied terrain. At just over 2,000 feet elevation, the landscape supports diverse ecosystems accessible via the two on-site trails.

Geological RegionSet within the vast expanse of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, Glover Campground rests in a region shaped by millennia of geological forces. The secluded location, removed from main thoroughfares, places you in the heart of Idaho's rugged backcountry where ancient volcanic activity and glacial carving have created a landscape of rolling forested ridges, deep valleys, and the perfect natural amphitheater for your outdoor adventures.

Best CampsitesThe campground includes one large site that sits mostly in the open, plus several smaller wooded sites.

Go if

Anglers and hikers who want deep forest isolation on the cheap: Trails #704 and #705 leave right from camp, the fishing draws consistent praise, and $8 a night is hard to argue with if you pack in your own water.

Skip if

Dry-rotted picnic tables, unlevel wooded sites, no potable water on-site, and a steep uphill walk to the vault toilet make this rough for anyone expecting maintained facilities or easy mobility access.
