Elk Creek Access
Elk Creek Access
Elk Creek Access is a small group campsite in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area near the Salmon River, featuring one group site (consisting of three individual sites) with vault toilets and paved access roads.
The campground sits in a valley at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountains with nearby Elk Creek and access to extensive hiking and biking trails, though recent fire damage has significantly reduced tree cover in the area.
Note: Water from the on-site pump is not potable, and the location experiences highway noise and frequent day-use traffic.
