Near Landmark, Idaho
OHV riders, hikers, and wildlife watchers who don't mind hauling in their own water will get the most out of this spot. The McClure/Burntlog trailhead is close, elk and deer show up at dawn, and with only four sites, even a summer weekend stays genuinely quiet.
No potable water is a hard stop if you're not prepared to pack everything in. The access road is narrow and rough, which makes this a poor fit for larger RVs or anyone not comfortable on backcountry roads 20 miles from the nearest supplies in Yellow Pine.
