    About Banner Creek Campground

    Tucked away along the scenic Highway 21, Banner Creek Campground offers a peaceful retreat within the vast Salmon-Challis National Forest. This intimate campground welcomes visitors with five thoughtfully spaced campsites, each furnished with its own picnic table, fire ring, and cooking grill for memorable outdoor meals. The gentle murmur of a small creek weaves through the property, creating a natural soundtrack for your camping experience. While the campground maintains a rustic charm with vault toilet facilities, visitors should note that drinking water is not available on-site, so bringing your own supply is essential for a comfortable stay.
