"...The campground, located above and alongside the Mosquito Flat Reservoir, is comprised of three unnamed sections. The first section, overlooking the reservoir with views of the mountains, has five camp sites. The second section is below and across the road on the left with four camp sites and is the most heavily wooded. The third section is 0.1 miles below the first two sections along the shore of the reservoir and has two camp sites. Both sites are in the open and have views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains. Lodgepole pines dominate the campground with grass understory and it is pack it in, pack it out. This is an attractive campground with access to it via the Custer Motorway with interpretive signs along the way. Custer Motorway was built in 1879 as a toll road from Challis to Bonanza. Its prime purpose was for hauling freight for the various mine operations. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) reconstructed the road which was then named Custer Motorway. It is dirt and mostly single-lane - a good day trip is to continue on to Bonanza...

...The parking aprons are gravel. Travel trailers are not recommended in the third section...

... An RV waste station, with no potable water, is available in Challis, ID at the Cenex gas station - $4 fee...

...The water spigot is a hand pump and is located at picnic site between the second and third sections..."
