Within Salmon National Forest, Timber Creek Reservoir provides year-round camping access through a US Forest Service campground. The site features vault toilets across the river and allows campfires, pets, and alcohol. Campers need to bring their own water or filter from the river, as no running water is available on-site.
Well-maintained trails connect from the campground for day hiking. The drive-in access makes gear transport straightforward, though the remote setting requires self-sufficiency for water and waste management. This spot works well for campers comfortable with basic facilities who want forest access and trail connections in the campgrounds around Salmon National Forest.
