Bird Creek Primitive - Sawtooth National Forest

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hiking trails and creek access draw campers to this US Forest Service site in Sawtooth National Forest, where sites sit far enough apart to avoid crowding. The road into the campground is paved close to the sites, though the loop to some spots runs tight for larger trailers. Sites are shaded through much of the day, include new tables, fire rings, and BBQ stands, and the vault toilet is well-maintained. Campers with dogs will find dog-friendly camping near Sawtooth National Forest throughout the broader area. The nearby Sawtooth National Forest Bird Creek Campground is just down the road if this site fills. Pack supplies before arriving; Featherville is a few miles away for resupply.

Fee Info

Fees are charged from mid-May through October 31st. $6.00 per night fee.

Great Camping

This is a very clean campground. The Vault is super clean and very nice! Not to far off the road, but some traffic. We camped in spot # 5 next to the river. Super level site, I think is the best site. We have a 26ft. trailer and the road circles to #5 was pretty tight but manageable, although there are a couple sites for bigger rigs. Plenty of room to setup your camp chairs etc.  New tables, fire ring and a BBQ stand all in great shape. Sights are far enough apart, you're not right next to the next site. Shaded from the sun most the day. New road mix gravel covering your camping spot. A few miles back to Featherville if you need anything. Plenty of hiking areas. Just all-around great spot!

Going again next year!
