Silver Creek West Access Area
Silver Creek West Access Area, near Craters of the Moon, Idaho, is a straightforward spot for those looking to enjoy some time outdoors without the frills. This location is perfect for camping, especially if you’re into fishing or just soaking in the scenery, with a few rock fire rings scattered about for your campfire needs.
While it’s a no-frills setup—no drinking water or electric hookups—visitors have found it to be a decent place to pitch a tent. One camper mentioned, “Camping is free. Plenty of flat ground for your tent,” which is a big plus for those who want to keep things simple. Just be sure to come prepared, as there’s no trash service or water available.
The area is known for its wildlife, and you might even spot a moose wandering by, as one camper experienced during their stay. With toilets on-site and a relaxed vibe, it’s a solid choice for a night or two under the stars. Just keep in mind that the mosquitos can be quite the nuisance, so bring some repellent along.
