Creek sounds drift through this Forest Service campground where sites spread along Bear Creek in the Sawtooth National Forest. The no-pets policy keeps the area quieter than many forest camps, while the creek-side setting provides natural water sounds and cooler temperatures during summer months.
Managed by the US Forest Service, Bear Creek Transfer Camp operates as an established campground with basic amenities typical of national forest sites. The Bear Creek Campground sits just over a mile south for campers comparing nearby options in this section of Idaho's backcountry.
