102 West Lake Street McCall, ID 83638
Solitude-seekers who want a free creekside spot in the Idaho mountains and don't mind packing everything in. Summer is the reliable window before fire restrictions and smoke complicate late-August visits. A vault toilet is the only infrastructure.
Anyone expecting hookups, bear boxes, reservations, or a guaranteed site will be disappointed. Only two spots exist, with no way to hold one. Forest roads likely stay snowed in past late spring, and OHV traffic shares the area.
