Deyo Reservoir Campground

Weippe, Idaho

Weippe is a unique destination steeped in history, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Nez Perce people and the early fur trading era. Originally documented as “Oy-ipe” by General Oliver Otis Howard during his 1877 campaign against the Nez Perce, the name has various interpretations, with some historians suggesting it means “very old place.” The Nez Perce language adds layers of meaning, with “oy” translating to “all,” while the significance of “iap” remains a mystery. Local lore also hints at connections to natural springs or camas grounds, making the name's origin a topic of ongoing debate. Following the Corps of Discovery's expedition, the fur trading industry flourished in Idaho, and the discovery of gold by E.D. Pierce in 1860 sparked a rush to the area in 1861. The Homestead Act further encouraged settlement, leading to Weippe's growth and development. Incorporated in December 1964, Weippe is situated along the Gold Rush Historic Byway on Idaho Highway 11. The Weippe Prairie, one of Idaho's eight registered national landmarks, is part of the National Lewis & Clark Historic Trail. This picturesque level meadow, bordered by lush forests, features Jim Ford’s Creek
