About
Twin Creek Group Camping Site is part of the larger Twin Creek Campground complex, located 15 miles north of North Fork, Idaho in the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Situated at an elevation of 5,100 feet along Twin Creek near its confluence with the North Fork of the Salmon River, the site is surrounded by large pine trees and brush that provide ample shade and privacy. The group site accommodates up to 35 individuals and features extensive amenities including a large parking area for multiple vehicles and trailers, double vault toilets, drinking water from a hand pump, four picnic tables (two extra-long), a large fire ring, multiple barbecue pedestals, a large barbecue pit, a historic pavilion with picnic table and benches, and two horseshoe pits. There are no electric, water, or sewer hookups available. Recreational opportunities abound in this corner of the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Fishing is available in both the North Fork of the Salmon River and Twin Creek. Hikers can access trails #6108 and #6109 located directly behind the campground. Berry picking can be excellent during certain times of year. Highway 93, which runs near the campground, contains portions of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, offering a connection to the area's rich history.
