Approximately an hour west of Lolo, MT at mile post 158.5 of the famous Northwest Passage Scenic Byway and All American Road (US Highway 12), directly across from the Lochsa Wild and Scenic River, rests the Whitehouse Campground.  This riverside campground has 13 sites and due to its close proximity to the Lewis and Clark Trail, has much more to offer than just camping.  It's an ideal location for fishing, hiking, back packing, nature viewing or as a place to stop and have a picnic while enjoying a scenic drive down highway 12.

The Campground will accomodate 30-ft. RV's.
