Fly fishers and anyone who wants a quiet base near Salmon will find the Lemhi River's early morning runs hard to beat. Summer nights drop into the 40s, cottonwood shade handles afternoon heat, and the small site count keeps crowds light even in peak weeks.
Amenities are unconfirmed, so assume no potable water, showers, or hookups and pack accordingly. If self-sufficiency isn't your style, the 10-mile drive to Salmon for supplies will get old fast.

Best season: summer. Summer offers the most reliable access, warm days, and the peak trout-fishing window on the Lemhi River — expect daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-80s°F and cool nights in the 40s–50s. Low snowpack and dry roads make the campground easy to reach and the river more fishable in early morning and evening, while riparian shade keeps campsites comfortable. Because McFarland is a small, 10-site campground, crowds stay moderate even in summer, but reserve weekends and be aware of seasonal fire and OH Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: December, January, February
Access best in summer; highs mid-60s to mid-80s and reliable driving conditions.
