North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

close to Ketchum and loads of good bike trails.  camped in a small Aspen Grove .
highway noise and bugs were the only complaint.  

chill small campsite

Beautiful campground located at the mouth of Sawtooth Natl Forest. Right next to Wood River and surrounded by huge cottonwoods. Vault toilets and well water from spigot available. Pets allowed on leash. Good basecamp for exploring the Sawtooth area and Ketchum! I only knocked it down to 4 stars for highway noise which was rarely bothersome. 

Most excellent!

Camping in the forest in Sawtooth.  Pull through sites were available.  Fire rings and picnic tables were at every site.  Situated next to stream.  Resident moose was sited one morning, and we saw bear claw markings on a tree behind a camp site.  Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful.  We bought wood and the host split up kindling for us.  No hookups but water was available at a few areas.  

Beautiful wooded camping

The Sawtooth recreation area has it all.  Camping, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing.  Ketchum is the nearest town which is an activity all in itself.  There are also hot springs in the area.  We love it here in the winter.  Miles of cross country skiing and snowshoeing.  There are numerous campgrounds within this recreation area.

Beautiful Country

Found a nice free  site near the SNRA Guard Station just north of Ketchum off Hwy 75.  Private area near the Big Wood River.  3 or 4 sites with fire rings.

Disbursed site near Ketchum, ID

We really loved this little campground. Sure, it's a little close to the road, but it's so beautiful, central to the area, and is simple to get in and out of for other adventures. It's literally integrated with the "Harriman trail" which provides access up and down the valley for runners, bikers, and hikers. Sites are spacious, bathrooms, although pit toilets, are clean and potable water is readily available. RV'ers won't like this site, as there are no hookups, and clearance to some of the sites might be a little tight. We used it as a base camp to mountain bike, play in the river, and check out the Ketchum area. The camp host was present and was very kind and helpful. We were able to build a nice little campfire, cook some dinner and enjoy the area here. Sleeping was quiet, cool, and restful.

Paradise Discovered

This campground is located just north of Catchem Idaho just off the highway. 27 sites. Very clean and well-maintained pick toilets. Larger rigs can also stay at this campsite. Highly recommend.

Nice campground.

 Right off Hwy 75 in the Sawtooth National Forest is this nice campground within a grove of aspens. The road through the campground is gravel and the sites are gravel and dirt. It was quite dusty when we went but the trees were starting to change color which was nice and you can hear the wind shaking the aspen leaves so it made of a relaxing vibe here.

  

$18/ night, $10 firewood (fire restrictions in effect).  Sites are reservable on recreation.gov.

  

 Hiking/biking trails nearby and this campground also sits along the Big Wood River. There were garbage dumpsters and pit toilet bathrooms and water spigots throughout. 

  

Each site had mostly level parking spots with picnic tables and fire pits. Each site was fairly private and offered nice amount of shade. There were plenty of sites open and there are some pull throughs for bigger rigs. 

  

Good for RVs, vans or tents.
