Summary

1 Campground in Idaho offers established, first-come, first-served campsites with no reservations or permits required. A small fee is collected on-site. Amenities include vault toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and space for tents or small RVs (no hookups or drinking water available). Nestled in a forested setting near the historic Custer Ghost Town and Yankee Fork Gold Dredge, the campground provides a peaceful, rustic experience with access to hiking, fishing, and interpretive sites. The vibe is quiet and scenic with rich mining history all around. Best visited June–September for warm weather and open access, as snow can linger into late spring.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
