Corral Creek Designated Dispersed

1 ReviewAdd Review

Sawtooth National Forest Road 137 runs above this free designated dispersed site, which sits downhill far enough that road dust is not a factor. The parking area is dirt and gravel, the tent area is grass and dirt, and the site can accommodate roughly three rigs or three to four tents. No shade means no hammock options, but solar charging and Starlink work here. No cell service. Corral Creek runs just down a short path, audible from camp, with hiking trailheads and a vault toilet at the road's end. Campers wanting other nearby options along the same drainage can check out Uncle Johns Gulch on Corral Creek Road, about 1.2 miles west, or browse dispersed camping outside Sawtooth National Forest for a wider range of free sites in the area.

Large dispersed site near creek

Free designated dispersed campsite along Sawtooth Nation Forest Road 137. Camped here at the end of September 2024. Very large designated dispersed site set downhill from the forest road; no issues with dust from this road. The area is level. May be able to park 3 rigs. Tent camping is possible back from the parking area toward the metal firering. This area can accommodate 3 or 4 tents, or one big hot tent. Corral Creek is just down a short path from the campsite. The sound of the creek can be heard at the site. Very quiet area. Mountains on either side of the site. The parking area is dirt and gravel. The "tent" area is grass and dirt. Don't see opportunities for hammock camping. No cell service. No shade; solar recharging and Starlink possible. 3 day limit. Hiking trailheads and vault toilet at the end of the forest road.
