Salmon-Challis National Forest
6 sites · RV, Tent
Head out for the roadside Custer #1 Campground to revel in the beauty of Idaho’s Salmon-Challis National Forest, and remind yourself of the simpler life. It’s not hard to relax in the low-key, quiet atmosphere of this charming little campground, but if you’re looking for an even slower pace of living, check out the nearby 19th-century boomtown of Custer. Historic relics of the pioneer days are on display at the museum in town, while hikes and fishing are the main attractions out in the forest.

Located on Idaho's Salmon River outside Salmon, ID, the Salmon Gypsy B and B and Mini-Donkey Ranch is two acres of heaven. The gypsy wagon is only 2 miles from the famous Goldbug Hot Springs trailhead. Enjoy the peace of this area just across the river from a working cattle ranch, 2.5 miles from the local bar and grill, 23 miles north to Salmon, and 35 miles south to Challis in the lovely unincorporated area of Elk Bend, Idaho. Enjoy hiking, rafting, fishing, biking, horseback riding and a visit with our mini-donkeys!

We stayed with staff members we knew, but the public sites were identical. Very good place to actually get away.
