Description

Located at the confluence of Slate Creek and its North Fork. All the sites here are set in a forested area with grassy spots for tents. There is easy access to the creek from all sites. One drive to site and the other 4 require you to carry your gear a short distance. A trailhead for hikers is located just up the road. This is a beautiful and secluded place to hang out. found this site using ""Rays Guides: Free campgrounds in Idaho""

Directions

From Riggins, travel north on Highway 95 for about 22 miles and take a right onto the Slate Creek Road. It comes up quick so beware. In about .5 miles youâ€™ll come to a junction with the Nut Basin Road and you want to bear left. Keep going for a mile or so and then take a hard right onto Forest Service Road 354. This road is easy to miss, so if you find yourself back on the highway, just turn around and youâ€™ll see the sign on the left this time. Follow this road for about 4.4 miles and youâ€™ll come to a junction with a bridge going off to the right; you want to stay going straight. Continue on and in 4.7 miles you arrive at the camp on the right.
