Kamiah / Clearwater River KOA Journey

Welcome to the Kamiah / Clearwater River KOA!

Let the beauty of Idaho surround you in the Kamiah Valley. Set along the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway, this campground is directly across from the Clearwater River and the Heart of the Monster. You'll find plenty of recreation in the Kamiah Valley, from tubing down the Clearwater River to exploring the area's renowned fishing spots. The Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery expedition traveled through this region - the homeland of the Nez Perce - and it's still a delight to explore. The scenic byway is a favorite of motorcyclists and driving enthusiasts. Centrally located, this KOA is a short drive to some of Idaho's best OHV trails, hot springs and skiing locales. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 100 feet.

This was our first experience at this site. The actual location was amazing. We have determined that there are 2 types of KOAs: a pass-through site and a destination. We consider this location a destination. Although we arrived in an off-season time, this KOA was really cared for, in the middle of nowhere, and had an amazing view. The check-in was a little confusing as we had registered online, and arrived after hours, but we knew our spot and settled in after looking at some posted literature. The only drawback to this trip was the location, due to the narrow roads, steep declines and switchbacks, it was a little nerve racking. Keep in mind though, this was a new area for us, pulling a dummy loaded, brand new 34-foot travel trailer. There is no cell service, but if you have satellite service like Starlink, you'll have no issues. We only stayed 1 night, and it was purely to scout it out. We LOVED this location and will be back with the intention of spending 2 or 3 nights there.

I have traveled all over the country and stayed many different places and I have to say this is absolutely one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. Cozy and the campground as well kept with lots of amenities. It is centrally located right in the heart of many very fun things to do and I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to either stay for just a night or a week or longer to definitely make this your stop.

Place is nice, pretty views, nice grass spots. There's a pond with lots of ducks. A pool thats max depth is 3 feet. A game room with lots of games. And a cage attached. The bathrooms and showers were really nice and clean. Right off the highway so the location was convenient.

Great park-like atmosphere, tall trees and while mostly shady, there was enough sunlight shining through the trees to not be too dark. Close to the river. Grandkids loved the catch and release fishing pond and the swimming pool. Definitely worth a stay here. Will stay again!

We booked the Kamiah Clearwater River KOA for the week of the Fourth of July. I have seriously never had such a relaxing stay at a campground. It was surprisingly quiet. All the RVs by us had dogs and we all were making friends. We did have a bit of a storm come through, my husband moved the limbs that fell on our sight to the end of our drive and we went to the pool came back like an hour later and it was all cleaned up. We also saw them bring over fire pits and bbqs to fellow campers. That was pretty cool. We are planning to return we loved this location its a little hidden gem.
