Leaving no trace means that you neither take anything with you that you didn't bring nor leave anything behind that you brought. The idea is to affect the environment as little as possible during your camping stay.
BLM Camping
Agency Creek Campground
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for 1 in every 10 acres of land in the U.S.
The Bureau of Land Management is part of the United States Department of the Interior. Bureau of Land Management campgrounds dot the landscape, mostly west of the Mississippi River. The rules of these campgrounds say that campers can stay for 14 days in one spot before having to move on at least 25 miles away to their next spot. After 14 more days, the campers must then again move on, and they have the option of returning to their previous spot. Agency Creek Campground has only a few amenities and four tent-only campsites. You can use the campground as a hub for hiking and hunting, however. The area is known for outdoor activities and for the Sacajawea Memorial that sits atop a pass in the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Lewis and Clark traveled with Sacajawea through that pass in 1805 as part of their expedition. The nearest town is Lemhi, Idaho, and the town is known for the many ghost towns that surround it. It's 210 miles to Yellowstone National Park.

Fishing and Boating
The fishing in the area is renowned. Multiple species inhabit the streams, and these include steelhead, cutthroat trout, and even salmon during spawning season. Everyone who fishes in the State of Idaho needs a valid and current fishing license issued by the state. The only nearby place for boating is the Clark Canyon Reservoir, which lies roughly 40 miles to the east.
Climbing
There are 55 mapped routes in the nearby Lemhi Range. They range in difficulty from the West Face of Bell Mountain, which is just a third route to Texas Barbecue, which is rated 5.12a and is for experts. There are many intermediate routes that are rated from 5.3 to 5.7.
Picnicking
The campsites at Agency Creek Campground have a picnic table and a fire ring for barbecues and campfires if there is no fire restriction in place. There are vault toilets available near the picnic tables.
Wildlife Viewing
Many species of big game roam the area freely, including elk, moose and black bears. Occasionally, a grizzly bear will wander into the area. There are many species of birds, bats, rodents, and small mammals that live in the area too. It's a good idea to keep at least 75 feet away from all wildlife other than predators. From them, you should stay at least 175 feet distant.
Hunting
You may hunt game during the applicable season. You may not hunt within the boundaries of the campground itself. Check with the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Forest Service, or both for information on obtaining the relevant hunting licenses.

Planning your Agency Creek Campground BLM trip
If you are thinking about "BLM camping near me" in the Agency Creek Campground, then remember that the area is arid. Be sure that you bring enough water with you for camping. Unless you go to the RV resorts or other private campgrounds, you won't find running water at the Bureau of Land Management campgrounds in the area. Even though the area is not a hot desert, you will still need enough water if you're hiking, biking, or otherwise exerting yourself outside. Generally, you'll need a gallon of water per person per hour while participating in normal activities. If you're doing strenuous activities, then it's best to have two gallons per person per hour. The two main hiking trails that intersect near the Agency Creek Campground go on for thousands of miles. Before heading out on either of these trails, be sure to let someone know when you're leaving and when you'll be returning. Let them know how long you plan to be gone. Have a plan in place before setting out. In this area, the weather can change in an instant. A warm summer day could turn instantly blustery and chilly, so it's a good idea not only to have gear for both kinds of temperatures but also to pack proper clothing for any temperature. Remember, open and airy clothes make it easier to stay either cool enough or warm enough, depending on the weather.
