About
US Forest Service campground. The Queens River Campground is located near Atlanta, Idaho. Just north of the campground, at the end of Forest Service road 206, is a trailhead which enters the Sawtooth Wilderness and follows along the Queens River. The trailhead west of the campground, along Eagle Creek, connects to Black Warrior Trail, a multiuse trail which heads north. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
