Saddle Creek Campground is a smaller site located on the rim of Hells Canyon along the Hat Point Road. With 7 walk-in tent-only sites, visitors can enjoy a remote campout or just picnic and look across Hells Canyon at the Seven Devils Mountains in Idaho. The area was heavily burned in the past with wildfires, so shade and mature trees are very limited near the campground.

Quiet hours are from 10pm to 6am.
