Small riverside campground on Mill Creek near Challis with clear mountain creek, pine forest, and distant Sawtooth/Salmon River foothills—excellent for intimate landscape, long-exposure waterscapes and night-sky shots. Best in summer–early fall for road access and low snow; sunrise and blue hour give soft side-light on ripples and trees. Primitive campground — parking at site or pullouts; bring bug spray and bear-aware storage. Weekdays offer solitude; check local forest service for fire or road
