Nestled in the rugged beauty of the Idaho Rocky Mountains, Hunter Creek Transfer Camp offers a remote and tranquil escape for outdoor enthusiasts. This USFS-managed site is particularly unique for its equestrian-friendly design, featuring on-site corrals, mangers, and barrier-free stock loading ramps. It serves as an excellent basecamp for those looking to explore the surrounding wilderness, with the North Fork Lime Creek Trail No. 044 starting right at the north end of the campground and connecting to the Virginia Gulch Trail No. 037.

The campground provides a rustic, off-grid experience with three single camping units and one multi-family unit available for both tent and RV campers.
