About this campground

Tucked deep within the legendary Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, Indian Springs Campsite offers adventurers two pristine primitive sites where the modern world fades away. Here, beneath towering pines and endless skies, simple pleasures reign supreme—gather around crackling fire rings as stars emerge overhead, share stories at weathered picnic tables, and wake to the whisper of wilderness winds. This is camping stripped to its beautiful essentials, where every sunset feels earned and every sunrise brings new possibilities.

Indian Springs Campsite consists of two primitive campsites designed for dispersed camping. Amenities are minimal, and there are no provisions for RVs, group camping, or glamping.

Weather and SeasonsIndian Springs transforms dramatically with the seasons, each bringing its own wild beauty. Winter wraps the landscape in deep snow and crystalline silence, with short days perfect for those seeking true solitude. As spring melts into summer, the campground comes alive under brilliant blue skies and comfortable temperatures—these golden months offer the perfect balance of warm days and cool nights. Savvy campers time their visits for those magical weeks when rain clouds rarely intrude, temperatures hover in the sweet spot, and the wilderness shows its most welcoming face.

Natural Features and SceneryThe Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness surrounds Indian Springs like a vast emerald ocean, its rugged peaks and untamed valleys stretching to every horizon. This is nature's masterpiece painted in broad strokes—where ancient forests give way to alpine meadows, where wildlife roams freely through corridors unchanged since time immemorial. The campground sits like a quiet sanctuary within this sprawling wilderness tapestry, offering front-row seats to one of America's last truly wild places. Here, solitude isn't just available—it's inevitable, wrapping around you like a comfortable blanket as you disconnect from civilization and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

Geological RegionNestled within the magnificent Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, Indian Springs sits at the heart of one of the Lower 48's largest roadless areas—a geological wonderland where ancient mountains tell stories written in stone and time moves at nature's pace.
