Antelope Creek

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Quiet but not remote, Antelope Creek sits close enough to Sun Valley that a resupply run is never far, yet the access road keeps casual traffic low. The steep entry from the main road demands attention: reviewers note tricky sections, particularly between the second and third pull-offs, and recommend walking the road first to assess it for your vehicle. Three access points give options. Camping farther up the road means losing cell coverage, while spots closer to the turn-off retain signal. One reviewer found a site directly beside the creek with a fire pit already in place. This dispersed area in Sawtooth National Forest works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with rough road conditions and variable temperatures.

Great

This site was pretty easy to find. There were a couple of campers camped closer to the road from the turn-off but we managed to find a spot that was secluded and perfect for us right next to the creek. Tons of space, especially since we were by ourselves. Had a real fire pit! This was a cold stay and our tent was covered in frost in the morning, but a good spot to be. Close enough to town, close enough to hiking.

Close in to Sun Valley

Nice location, close to town. Close to road but not much traffic. Access can be difficult with steep access from main road and tricky spots along the access road. There are three access spots. Would pick the first or second. The road is difficult between the second and third access roads. Would recommend walking down to see if safe for you and your vehicle. There is more dispersed camping farther up the road but you begin to lose cell coverage.
