Nice, Like All Campgrounds in Sawtooth
This campground is off Hwy 75 in Sawtooth National Forest somewhat in a grove of aspens. The road in has some navigable large pit holes but the campground itself is fairly smooth gravel and dirt loop.
Sites are dirt and gravel and each had fire pit and picnic table. Semi private to private depending on where you get a site. There were plenty of open spots available when we checked it out in September.
Amazing views so if you are into hiking, biking or photography then this place is great. There is no host on site and this is a self pay campground at $16/night.
This is bear country but no bear boxes are provided here. There are water spigots and dumpsters and pit toilets. Zero cell service. Also nearby there are hot springs across the bridge though we did not check these out. No fires at this time!

Cool nice
Nice place
Easley campground
This is a really popular campsite, probably because of the hot springs. There is a really pretty view of a field and mountains in the back. There are vault restrooms and there is no light so it gets pretty scary at night. There are fire rings and tables
