Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) influence can still be seen in
the inoperable water fountains, stone pavilion, and campgrounds
configuration. Although the middle part is not particularly RV

STATE: Idaho
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: North Fork
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: North Fork
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
In North Fork, ID, at "Shoup 17" sign, turn west onto Forest Rt.
030 (unmarked) and go 34.5 miles to campground (no sign). The
campground is on both sides of Forest Rt. 030.
NOTE: Pavement ends after 16.9 miles and becomes a river-hugging,
single-lane dirt road with turnouts.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
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.

CAMPGROUND NAME: Twin Creek
VISIT DATE: 08/01/2001
UPDATE DATE: 9/24/2020
STATE: Idaho
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: North Fork
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: North Fork
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From North Fork, ID, take US Rt. 93 north 16.1 miles to
campground sign. Turn left at sign onto a gravel road and go 0.5
miles to "camping" sign. Turn left into campground.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 5,400 ft.
The campground is comprised of two loops, A and B, in a dense
stand of mixed conifers above Twin Creek. Although some camp
sites are near the creek, it cannot be seen from the campground.
Loop A, the smaller more compact loop, has some magnificent,
large Ponderosa pines. It also has a more rugged feel to it.
Loop B stretches out in an oblong shape with several pull-
throughs giving it a more spacious feel. Douglas fir dominate
this loop with many of them drapped with a lichen called
"Grandfather's Beard." Convenient to US Rt. 93 with easy in-out
access, this is a very attractive campground for an overnight
stay.

UPDATE DATE: 9/24/2020
STATE: Idaho
REGION: Intermountain
RANGER DISTRICT: Salmon/Cobalt
NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Salmon
RESERVATIONS: No
DIRECTIONS:
From Salmon, ID, take US Rt. 93 north 2.9 miles to Stormy Peak Rd
and Wallace Lake sign. Turn left after sign, before bridge over
Salmon River, and go 0.6 miles to a "Y" intersection (Forest Rt.
023). Bear left onto Rt. 023 (gravel) and go 11.6 miles to
Wallace Lake sign just before an intersection. Turn left at
intersection and go 3.9 miles to a "Wallace Lake Campground
sign." Turn left at sign and go 1 mile to campground.
NOTE: The last mile is very rough, rocky, and steep. The
campground interior road is also very rough and rocky. Not
recommended for travel trailers and other large RVs.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 8,500 ft.
The campground stretches along a Lodgepole pine and Sub-alpine
fir-covered ridge to Wallace Lake. A few camp sites have a view
of the lake. Widely spaced camp sites provide good privacy. The
rocky understory may make pitching a tent a challenge. Although
a long, rough drive, the scenic setting provides a pleasant
backdrop for a weekend outing.
