Trap Creek Campground - Hwy 21
Trap creek campground is a small campground offering one group site that consists of three smaller sites. The group site can accommodate up to 40 people. If the group site is not reserved, the individual sites are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations can be made by visiting www.recreation.gov or by calling (877)444-6777. Summer wildflowers are plentiful and a mixed stand of pines shade the area with Trap Creek flowing nearby. Numerous sparkling lakes and streams, including the Salmon River dot the area, making for great rainbow and native westslope cutthroat trout fishing. Stanley and Redfish Lakes are nearby, offering great boating, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing.
