Forest Service Road 242 leads to Iron Phone Junction Campground, where high-clearance vehicles navigate steep terrain to reach sites suitable for smaller RVs and tent camping. The campground sits within Nezperce National Forest at the junction of roads accessing both Salmon River and Snake River drainages. A pit toilet serves the area, and trees provide some cover around the camping spots.
Summer brings cattle ranching activity to the surrounding area, while fall draws hunters to the region. Forest Service maps prove essential for navigation since many roads circle back to their starting points with limited off-road access. For additional camping options, consider places to camp around Riggins or nearby Pittsburgh Landing - Snake River for a different setting.
Description
This area has four campsites with fire rings, hitching rails, and no feed bunks provided.
