Aquarius Campground sits in the North Fork Ranger District of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest in Idaho, managed by the Forest Service. The nearest town is the Nez Perce-Clearwater headquarters, about 17 miles away. The site has vault toilets, and a fee is charged. It pairs easily with the Purple Beach Group Site, just 0.1 mile away, which gives campers more options at the same location. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July and August typically reach highs around 80°F with only about five or six wet days a month, based on typical averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet lower, so temperatures at the campground run cooler. The North Fork Downriver Trail starts about 0.8 mile away. Charlie Creek, Sheep Creek A and Salmon Creek all lie within about 3 miles. Paddlers can find Beaver Creek about 6 miles off.
