Weather at Lolo Creek Campground

Best Time to Camp at Lolo Creek Campground

Best season: summer. Summer offers the most reliable weather and the fullest range of activities — expect daytime highs generally in the 60s–80s°F (15–29°C) with cool nights in the 40s–50s°F (4–12°C). Creeks are lower and clearer than in spring, making mid-summer ideal for fishing, swimming in deep pools, and hiking Lewis & Clark Trail #25 without muddy approaches. With only nine campsites the campground rarely feels crowded, though holiday weekends see more visitors and local fire restrictions can be in effect. Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: December, January, February

About Lolo Creek Campground

Lolo Creek Campground sits in the foothills of Idaho's Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, offering primitive tent camping along a mountain creek. This very small Forest Service campground provides access to swimming holes, hiking trails, and mountain biking routes in a quiet, undeveloped setting. The intimate size and lack of hookups attract visitors seeking solitude and a true backcountry feel without driving deep into wilderness.

Lolo Creek Campground caters to rustic and primitive camping enthusiasts, featuring 9 units suitable for tents and possibly small RVs. The campground's proximity to outdoor trails makes it ideal for adventure seekers.

Natural Features and SceneryTwo creeks meet here, their waters running clear over rounded stones through a corridor of evergreens. The forest provides shade across most sites, with Douglas fir and lodgepole pine dominating the canopy. Huckleberry bushes cluster in the understory, ripening in late summer. The terrain slopes gently toward the water, creating a mix of forested pockets and small openings where morning mist collects in cooler months. Elk occasionally pass through at dawn or dusk.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe campground does not appear to have hotel-style lodgings or cabins on-site.
