The Three Forks Campsite 2 is a primitive, non-reservable, and free campsite located in the Middle Owyhee watershed of Idaho. The campsite is situated in a picturesque location with stunning surrounding views of the Owyhee Mountains, the Owyhee River, and the surrounding desert landscape.
Nearby points of interest include the Three Forks Hot Springs, which is a popular spot for soaking and relaxation. The Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness is also nearby and offers hiking, camping, and wildlife watching opportunities.
Campground amenities include a vault toilet and fire rings, but visitors should bring their own water. It should be noted that this is a primitive camping location, so there are no other amenities available.
One interesting fact about the area is that it is home to one of the largest intact native plant communities in the Great Basin. Visitors can see a variety of unique plant species, including sagebrush, greasewood, and rabbitbrush.
The best time of year to visit the Three Forks Campsite 2 is from March to June and September to November when the temperatures are mild, ranging from the mid-50s to mid-80s. Summer months can be extremely hot, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees.
