$5 a night but only 6 pull in spots to choose from with all being about the same as far as benefits. Tables and fire pits in each one &amp; 4/6 have shade.

One pit toilet which was very clean during my visit.

I pulled in on a Saturday @ 6pm and only one spot was taken so lucky me.

NO cell service whatsoever here either(AT&amp;T)

Location works for exploring the local areas up and down the fork 

Small and just right

This small campground is along the Adventure Road going up the pass between Custer and Challis, on the Custer side of the pass. Really cool massive boulders are in and around the campground, and even though it is along the pass and near a beautiful gorge, you really can’t see anything beyond the campground due to the terrain. Sites are on the larger side, but not necessarily level.  There are picnic tables and fire rings and a clean vault toilet, but not much else. Shade trees are on the skinny side so it may be difficult to hang a hammock. During the day it can get dusty with OHVs going up and down the road. For a cool experience, check out the ghost town of Custer or go further along the Adventure Road to see the ruins of some of the stagecoach stops.
