Highway 71, Cambridge, Payette National Forest, ID
ATV and side-by-side riders who want a free, no-hassle base camp close to OHV trails will get exactly what this place promises. Stock up in Cambridge 10 miles out, pack your own water, and arrive early on summer weekends since it's first-come-first-served.
No potable water on site and facilities stop at a vault toilet, so campers expecting any hookups or running water will be disappointed. Tent campers without OHV interests will find little reason to choose this over better-equipped forest camps nearby.

Summer. Late June through September. Is the most practical window. Daytime highs range from 60 to 80°F, with nights dropping into the mid-30s to mid-50s. Snow clears from trails and access roads by late June in most years, and wildflower meadows peak in July. Crowds stay moderate compared to lower-elevation campgrounds. Winter buries the area under heavy snow, requiring proper cold-weather gear and winter recreation equipment. Spring brings mild temperatures but unpredictable snowmelt and muddy roads.
Late June–Sept is most practical window; pleasant daytime temps noted.
The Hitt Mountain Camping Area and Trailhead provides a few dispersed camping sites. Amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, and an outhouse. "Places to tie stock are available" for horse campers, and the site functions as a trailhead with parking available.
