Hikers and creek fishers who want real Idaho mountain solitude on the cheap: 21 sites, clean vault toilets, and hand-pump water for $10 a night is hard to beat. Early June and September see the same weather as peak summer with noticeably fewer neighbors.
Cash or check only, no card payments, so come prepared. No hookups or showers anywhere on site, and nights drop into the 30s even in July, so light sleepers in thin sleeping bags will regret it.
