North Fork Campground is a small, semi-developed site on Bureau of Land Management land in the Owyhee Field Office in Idaho, set within the scenic North Fork of the Owyhee River Canyon. Much of the canyon was designated Wilderness in March 2009, and the site offers camping and picnicking in that rugged, protected setting. There is no potable water at the campground, so visitors must bring their own. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 67°F and September highs around 79°F, while July and August average near 90°F. For more time on the water, the North Fork Owyhee River, a canoeing route, lies about 6 miles away.
