Sawtooth National Forest's backcountry holds Middle Cramer Lake Dispersed, a hike-in site that requires roughly nine miles on foot to reach, or eleven miles if skipping the Redfish Lake shuttle. The shuttle runs $18 round trip per person and cuts meaningful distance from the approach. Multiple tent sites sit among trees, a fire pit is already in place, and downed logs provide seating. Views from camp face Middle Cramer Lake, with a waterfall visible where water drops from Upper Cramer Lake above. Backpackers planning routes through dispersed camping near Sawtooth National Forest will find this site worth the mileage.
