French Gulch Campground

French Gulch Campground is a rustic, no-fee primitive camping area with two spacious campsites located along the Red River corridor in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests at 4,210 feet elevation.

The campground offers vault toilet facilities, ample parking, and direct access to the Red River for fishing, with French Gulch Creek flowing through the site.

Operating year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required, note that winter access may be limited due to snow on Red River-Dixie Road, and this is a pack-in, pack-out site with no water or garbage services available.
