Phillips Creek Transfer Camp Trailhead

Phillips Creek Transfer Camp Trailhead sits alongside Phillips Creek in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, providing dispersed camping opportunities for backcountry travelers. The US Forest Service manages this established campground as a staging area for wilderness access, with creek proximity offering water access for filtering and basic needs.

The site functions primarily as a trailhead camp rather than a destination campground, attracting hikers and packstock users preparing for multi-day trips into the surrounding backcountry. Campers seeking additional forest service options can explore campgrounds just outside Challis National Forest. The location works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with minimal amenities and primitive conditions.
