About
Lost Spring Campground is a small, primitive campground tucked away in a quiet forested setting along Silver Creek in Idaho's Salmon-Challis National Forest. With just six campsites, it offers a secluded camping experience far from developed areas. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The campground provides basic amenities including a vault toilet, but campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all trash. There are no hookups, showers, or other developed facilities. The nearby Meyers Cove trailhead at the end of the road provides access to backcountry trails. This remote location is particularly popular with hunters during fall hunting seasons. The lengthy drive on forest roads to reach the campground keeps crowds low, making it an excellent choice for those seeking solitude in a backcountry setting.
Directions
From Salmon, Idaho, drive 5 miles south on Highway 93 to Shoup Bridge and turn right onto Forest Road 021. Continue 44.5 miles to the Cobalt workcenter on Panther Creek Road. Drive 11 miles south to Rabbitsfoot Summit and turn onto Forest Road 108. Lost Spring Campground is approximately 13 miles from the turnoff, across Silver Creek.
