Custer Number 1 Campground

Custer #1 Campground is a rustic, first-come, first-served USDA Forest Service campground with 6 sites located along the scenic Custer Motorway in the Salmon-Challis National Forest, offering access to fishing on the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River.

The campground features picnic tables, fire rings with cooking grills, and vault toilets, but has no potable water; it accommodates RVs and trailers up to 32 feet and is open mid-June through early fall.

The nearby ghost town of Custer and Yankee Fork Gold Dredge provide additional recreational opportunities in this remote, quiet setting.
