Fishing and creek access draw campers to Banner Creek Campground, which sits along Highway 21 a few miles south of Stanley. The creek runs within a few feet of the tent sites. The campground is small, with reviewers reporting as few as three usable sites despite a listed capacity of five, so arriving early matters. Managed by the US Forest Service within Challis National Forest, it operates June through September, provides vault toilets, and prohibits pets. The access road is rough, and no hookups are available. This spot works best for self-sufficient campers who want direct creek access and low foot traffic.
