High clearance vehicles navigate steep, winding roads to reach this small Forest Service campground in the Nezperce National Forest. Iron Phone Junction accommodates smaller RVs and campers across a handful of sites surrounded by trees, with basic amenities including pit toilets and picnic tables. The terrain drops away steeply on all sides.
Summer brings cattle ranching activity to the area, while fall draws hunters to the region. Forest Service maps prove essential for navigation, as many roads circle back to starting points with limited off-road access. Campers can explore nearby drainages by UTV or pickup, with day trips possible to Pittsburgh Landing and Kirkwood from this base camp. For additional options, see campgrounds around Riggins.
Description
This area has four campsites with fire rings, hitching rails, and no feed bunks provided.
