Nice place but not very level.  Plenty of room and lots of amenities.  Close to restaurants.

Nice destination 

This small (9 sites i believe) is right on Little Redfish Lake that has the very best view of the Sawtooth Range around.  Even Redfish Lake doesn't sport views like this one.  No motorized boats allowed on this Lake.  No fishing.   It is AWESOME  for SUP and Kayaking though.  Clean flush toilets.  Water available behind the building.   You do hear some street noise during the day, but after 10 pm we didn't notice any.  The dump station is close to the lodge. There are also a public laundromat and showers there..  quarters. $2. For a shower.  At the lodge down the street,, there are SUP, kayak, boat, bike, fishing rentals and a restaurant.  The visitor center is great. Ranger lead talks every day..  Stanley is only about 3-4 miles to town.  Food, drink adventures can all be found there.  

Little Redfish Lake waterfront dream

One of those lucky days. Mountain Virw just reopened an hour before I got there after being closed for more than two years. Everything is brand new feeling! The fire pits are new, the tables not but they are in great shape. The vault toilets are new but the pits maybe aren’t. My site (14) is right on the river with easy access. The highway is close but the river drowns out some of the noise and then it gets quiet late. This is a first come first serve campground that I suspect will be full all of the time. I lucked out and got a site before it went public that it had reopened. Camped next to a member of High Pine Whiskey Yell and got invited to hear the band play that evening at The Lowman Inn. Awesome bluegrass band! And of course spent time with my body planted in the river. 


Beautifully updated

Good Wifi, nice hookups, just wish the hydrants were frost protected. 

Well Kept; Clean

My son hung a hammock over the water for sleeping. We stayed in a camper van. Not crowded and we did not have a reservation.
