Great little spot

As the other reviewers mentioned, it is right on the road, so you're likely to hear cars driving past. Because it was so dusty, we decided to stay in our car rather than pitching the tent. Overall though we really enjoyed this great little spot for our night in the Sun Valley area!

Convenient location to spend the night.

Campgrounds close to Ketchum. Campsites are all along a well-traveled forest road. If you don’t mind the occasional car driving by at night, it is a good spot to spend the night on the way to or from the SNRA.

Close to town fun

No need for a hotel in Ketchum Idaho. Park and camp here! Several dispersed sites after the Sawtooth National Forest boundary, with creek running by and a hot spring down the road.

The recent burn made the site a little dusty, our dogs needed a towel off.
