This shaded, quiet campground is located on the Clark Fork River near the town of Thompson Falls in the rugged and beautiful Cark Fork Valley. This site provides excellent fishing and boating opportunities on the Clark Fork River or the Noxon Rapids Reservoir. It’s also a nice place to walk, bird watch, or just relax. Kids can fish for trout in the fishpond, and a riverside trail provides ample river access. A small boat launch is provided, and a full-sized launch for larger boats is available ½ mile from the park.

Thompson Falls State Park is located on the Clark Fork River 63 miles from the mouth on the right hand side as you face down stream.
