Camping at Mcfarland Campground near Salmon

Public campground · Salmon · 7 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

McFarland Campground sits at the edge of the Lemhi River where a narrow riparian corridor of willows and cottonwoods cuts through an otherwise dry valley between the Beaverhead Mountains and the Lemhi Range. The setting feels open and rugged: peaks rise on both sides of the river and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail runs along the Beaverheads to the east, offering single-day outings or multi-day treks from trailheads on nearby roads.
