BONANZA CCC GROUP CAMPGROUND

Challis, Idaho

About

Bonanza CCC Group Campground is located nine miles up the scenic and historic Yankee Fork drainage, approximately 23 miles from Stanley, Idaho, at an elevation of 6,500 feet. The campground is situated in a beautiful valley near the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River, surrounded by lodgepole pines and abundant summer wildflowers. The area offers good fishing for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and whitefish, as well as many miles of trails, including the West Fork of Yankee Fork, Crimson Lake Trail, and Lightning Creek Trail. Visitors can explore the nearby ghost towns of Bonanza and Custer, and take an interpretive tour of the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge. The campground provides vault toilets, potable water, and trash collection, but no electricity or other hookups. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
