Please respect the outdoors by practicing Leave No Trace. Learn more about how to apply the principles of Leave No Trace on your next outdoor adventure here.

Hayden Creek is an informal camping area that offers free dispersed camping. The area is primarily used by fishermen because of its great access to both Hayden Creek and the Lemhi River.

There are a handful of established campsites here, all with at least a fire ring, and some with a picnic table too. All sites are first come, first served.

Amenities are few, but you will find a single vault toilet as well as a hand water pump for drinking water. There is no trash collection.

Please observe leave no trace principles and keep your camp clean for the next visitor. Note that there is also a 10 day camping limit.
