Cedars Campground sits at 3,688 feet where Long Creek meets the North Fork of the Clearwater River, offering five developed sites along a small loop. The Idaho Centennial Trail runs through camp, and trout fishing is steps away. Access requires a smaller vehicle with decent clearance. Rough, narrow roads make this a poor choice for large RVs.
The site contains five developed campsites located alongside the North Fork of the Clearwater River and Long Creek; trails nearby offer hiking and horse riding access. The source does not specify tent/RV/group/cabin or glamping classifications.
Weather and SeasonsBest season: summer. Summer provides the most reliable weather and the fullest access to trails and fishing—expect warm, mostly dry days in the 70s–80s°F (21–30°C) with cool nights around 45–55°F (7–13°C) at ~3,700 ft. The Idaho Centennial Trail is snow-free and day-hikes are at their best, while trout fishing on Long Creek and the North Fork is consistently productive. The campground is tiny (five sites) so it fills quickly on weekends; plan accordingly and be mindful of summer wildfire restrictions and typical rip
Peak months: July, August, June, September
Avoid: December, January, February

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a riverside pocket at the confluence of Long Creek and the North Fork of the Clearwater. Cottonwoods frame the water, and clear pools hold trout. The Idaho Centennial Trail weaves through camp and connects to forested hillsides beyond. It's quiet, remote, and genuinely backcountry in character. But that remoteness comes with trade-offs in access and amenities.
