McFarland Campground

Nestled along the banks of the Lemhi River, McFarland Campground offers a tranquil, primitive escape in the heart of Idaho's Rocky Mountains. This BLM-managed site is uniquely positioned in the Lemhi Valley, where the river creates a lush riparian oasis between the rugged peaks of the Beaverhead Mountains and the Lemhi Range. At an elevation of 5,377 feet, the site provides a refreshing atmosphere for those looking to immerse themselves in the high-desert landscape.

The campground features nine campsites suitable for both tent and RV camping. While the site remains primitive, it provides essential comforts including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. The area is a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering direct public access to the Lemhi River for fishing and serving as a gateway to the surrounding mountain ranges for hiking and exploration.

McFarland Campground is best suited for campers who appreciate a back-to-basics experience and value natural beauty over modern amenities. Whether you are seeking a peaceful spot to cast a line or a basecamp for mountain adventures, this year-round site provides a rustic and authentic Idaho wilderness experience.
