About Kamiah / Clearwater River KOA Journey

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.

Top Spots in or near Kamiah

Stanley Hot Springs

Kooskia, Idaho

5.0

9.68 mi / 2106 ft gain

Start your hike to the hot springs at trailhead 211. Trail is roughly 5 miles with an easy gradual incline. Enjoy some of the mountainous views on your way. There are no signs directing you to the hot springs but there will be two forks in the road and you'll take the right path both times. Be aware that there is a river you must cross about 1/2 mile before arriving and there is no bridge. ...

Hike Sherman Creek Trail #203

Kooskia, Idaho

7.1 mi / 3790 ft gain

It's always (for me anyway) a good sign when the parking area at a trailhead is devoid of any other vehicles. Such was the case at the Sherman Creek Trailhead in the Clearwater National Forest in west-central Idaho. This trail begins just north of US-12, where Sherman Creek starts emptying into the Lochsa River. (This will come in handy at the end of the hike for a quick, refreshing dip). While...

Weir Creek Hot Springs

Kooskia, Idaho

4.0

0.72 mi / 174 ft gain

After parking at the trailhead, follow the well defined trail on the left side of Weir Creek for about half a mile. The trail passes multiple campsites that see heavy use. The trail ends after this short climb at the hot springs. Enjoy the hot water! Tips: After passing Jerry Johnson Hot Springs look for a parking lot around mile marker 141 on Highway 121This hot spring is heavily used so try...

Fly Fish Kelly Creek

Clearwater County, Idaho

If you are looking for world class fishing in Idaho and don't want to deal with the crowds that goes along with Henry's Fork or Silver Creek then this is the spot. You will rarely run into people along this creek. The fishing is extraordinary and you should be able to catch a ton of cutthroat. This creek is catch and release only, if you want to keep what you hook, stop along the North Fork Cl...

Jerry Johnson Hot Springs

Kooskia, Idaho

5.0

2.64 mi / 348 ft gain

Note: crampons and hiking poles are a necessity for navigating this trail in the winter months. The trail can be steep in some places and very icy. Serious note: This area is used very frequently, resulting in abuse of the land. There is a problem with trash and clothing left behind. For this reason, it is a day use only. And please help protect and keep this area clean! The trailhead is eas...
