Description

Located in a remote pine forest near mountain slopes, Buck Mountain Campground is situated in a lovely meadow near scenic Johnson Creek. With its nearby trails, this has become a popular destination for hikers, bikers, and equestrians. This area is like the real life version of Big Buck Hunter. You might spot deer, elk, bear, moose, and even bald eagles soaring overhead. Just be sure to check with the Idaho Fish and Game folks for local regulations.

In 1915 my great grandfather Joseph Oren Couch was deer hunting up the gladiator trail and near the salmon river. He carved his name, the name of the camp, and the date on a young cottonwood tree. He gave the camp the name “big buck camp”. How’s that for a story. 😁❤️ Couch summit, Idaho was also named after him. Lots of fun stories are written down about his early adventures and I don’t know who would really enjoy them, because sadly I’ve never been to Idaho- yet Happy 2023!
