Best Time to Camp at Ebenezer Campground

Summer brings the warmest, most reliable conditions. Daytime highs run mid-70s to low 90s F, with nights dropping to the 40s and 50s. The river warms enough for comfortable boating and fishing, and the apricot trees bear fruit late July into August. July and August weekends see the heaviest use, though with only 11 sites the campground doesn't get overwhelmed. Winter transforms the area with snow, and spring melt feeds the creek system.

About Ebenezer Campground

Ebenezer Campground sits along the Salmon River in Salmon-Challis National Forest at 3,400 feet elevation. Its 11 sites split into two sections: a northern area near a creek and apricot trees suited for tents, and a southern section that fits both tents and RVs. Sites cost $5 per night. Access requires navigating a single-lane dirt road, though reviews note it's in good condition.

The campground provides a rustic camping experience with sites suitable for tents and RVs. Group camping is not mentioned.

Historical Significance

The Civilian Conservation Corps established Ebenezer Bar Camp F-401 here during the Great Depression. Crews from that camp built Forest Route 030, the road that still provides access to the campground. Cement foundations from the CCC era remain visible, and interpretive signs explain the history.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings the warmest, most reliable conditions. Daytime highs run mid-70s to low 90s F, with nights dropping to the 40s and 50s. The river warms enough for comfortable boating and fishing, and the apricot trees bear fruit late July into August. July and August weekends see the heaviest use, though with only 11 sites the campground doesn't get overwhelmed. Winter transforms the area with snow, and spring melt feeds the creek system.

ElevationPerched at 3,400 feet above sea level, Ebenezer Campground occupies that sweet spot where mountain air stays crisp and clean year-round. This elevation creates a natural climate refuge—cool enough to escape summer's valley heat, yet accessible enough to enjoy extended camping seasons. The altitude brings dramatic temperature swings that reward prepared campers with spectacular morning mists rising from the valleys below and crystal-clear night skies perfect for counting shooting stars.

Natural Features and SceneryThe Wild and Scenic Salmon River flows near the campground, and the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness stretches beyond. The northern section has mature apricot trees that fruit in late July through August. Southern sites trade creek access for broader wilderness views. A creek runs through the northern area. The campground sits in a forested setting with some sites under tree canopy, though one camper reported sap issues for dogs camping beneath trees.

Geological RegionEbenezer Campground sits at the heart of the Salmon-Challis National Forest, where eons of geological drama have sculpted a landscape of breathtaking complexity. The Wild and Scenic Salmon River has carved its legendary canyon through ancient granite and metamorphic rock, creating a corridor of adventure that connects to an extensive network of wilderness trails. As the gateway to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness—the largest contiguous wilderness in the lower 48 states—the campground offers front-row seats to a geological wonderland where deep canyons, soaring peaks, and pristine forests converge in spectacular fashion.

Scenic ViewsCampground offers panoramic views of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness; however, no campsites have direct views of the Salmon River.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo information on lodging accommodations beyond the campsites.

Programs & ActivitiesInterpretive signs at the campground explain the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) involvement in building picnic areas, campgrounds, and roads.

Every adventure creates another. Share what you learned so the next camper feels a little more prepared heading out.

Go if

Anglers and wilderness hikers who pack their own water will get a lot out of the northern creek sites in late July when the apricot trees are fruiting. Summer's the sweet spot, and at $5 a night it's hard to argue.

Skip if

No potable water means hauling your own supply from town, and North Fork is 34 miles out. Dog owners should also know the northern tree canopy drops enough sap to cause real problems for pets.

About the campground

The elevation is 3,400 ft. The campground, on the north side of the Wild and Scenic Salmon River, is separated by Forest Rt. 030. The section on the north side of the road stretches slightly up a slope next to a creek and is the location of several fruit-bearing apricot trees. The camp sites in this section are best suited for tents. The lower or southern section of the campground can accommodate both RVs and tents. Although this section sits on a bluff above the river, none of the camp sites have a clear view of the river. Both sections have a panoramic view of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. A bit further west from the campground is the M.T. Saddle Saloon which offers cool, refreshing beverages and some "local color." The campground is the location of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Ebenezer Bar Camp F-401. Some cement foundations remain in and around the campground. The enrollees from this camp built Forest Rt. 030 as well as picnic areas and campgrounds. There are interpretive signs at the campground explaining the CCC involvement.
