Wild Goose Campground

Wild Goose Campground is a Forest Service campground in Idaho's Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, within the Moose Creek Ranger District. It sits about 1.4 miles from the Lowell Three Rivers weather station, which records typical averages of 40°F highs and 29°F lows in January, and 92°F highs in July and August. Restrooms are among the site's amenities. The campground is not reservable, so plan on arriving and setting up a spot on site rather than booking in advance. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Lowell station run to highs around 72°F in May and 79°F in September. Summer brings the hottest and driest stretch, with only about five wet days a month in July and August, while winter stays cold and wet, with highs in the low 40s and around 16 to 18 wet days a month from December through February. Pete King Ridge is the closest trail, about 0.8 miles away, with Pete King Ridge Trail and Kerr Creek both within about 3 miles. Apgar Campground is roughly 6.8 miles off, and Fenn Pond offers pier fishing about 4.4 miles away.
