Best Campgrounds near Corral, ID

480 Reviews

Camping opportunities around Corral, Idaho range from remote dispersed sites to developed campgrounds with amenities. Little Camas Reservoir provides free, dispersed camping for tents and RVs with access to drinking water and toilets. Baumgartner Campground, located near Fairfield, offers established campsites with picnic tables, drinking water, and trash service suitable for both tent and RV camping. The region includes several Forest Service campgrounds and private resorts like Trinity View Resort that accommodate various camping styles including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals.

Road conditions in the area vary significantly by season, with many campgrounds open primarily from May through September. Several campground access roads include gravel sections requiring careful navigation. "The campground is off the old road right after Smoky Bar, and is along Big Smoky Creek. All weekend the campground was quiet and still had plenty of sites left over," noted one camper about Bowns Campground. Winter closures affect most high-elevation sites, while locations at lower elevations may remain accessible year-round. Cell service can be spotty throughout the region, with some campgrounds like Trinity View Resort reporting better connectivity. Many campgrounds require payment for overnight stays, though Little Camas Reservoir offers free camping options.

Campers consistently highlight the natural features and relative solitude of the area. Multiple reviews mention hot springs access near several campgrounds, particularly Baumgartner, which features a small soaking pool. Water access represents a significant draw, with creeks and reservoirs providing opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating. According to reviews from The Dyrt, visitors appreciate the quieter atmosphere compared to more popular destinations near Sun Valley. Wildlife sightings, including deer and bears, are noted in several camper reviews. ATV and dirt bike opportunities are abundant in the region, with many campgrounds serving as starting points for motorized recreation on forest roads and trails. Families with children particularly appreciate campgrounds with amenities like swimming pools at Trinity View Resort or natural features like the creeks at Bowns Campground.

    Atlanta Cabin

    Lots to do

    If you love the mountains this is the place to be. There are lots of spots to camp, fish, swim, and soak in the hot springs. There are bathrooms as well. Town is about 10 min from camp. The town is very small and the people are very friendly.

    Good for a night!

    We stopped here for the night while visiting Craters of the Moon. A convenient stop with a good amount of camping spots and free!

    Mountain Home RV Park

    Very nice and organized park

    They greet you when you arrive and show you to your spot. All spots are paved with nice grass strip. Dog parks in two different areas. There are plenty of trees to keep the rv shaded. Walking distance to Walmart.

    Park Creek Campground

    AMAZING

    We were actually on our way to the Wildhorse campground and passed this and decided to check it out and were not disappointed! There was only one other family there on a Sunday night, and as soon as we pulled in we were greeted by a moose and her calf. Some of the sites are close and more bare and bigger would be good for groups or families together, others are more private. I believe there was 13 sites. Stars were also INCREDIBLE!

    Frank C Jones King Hill Area

    A Mad Dog and a Drowsy Owl

    I arrived at the spot a little before sunset after getting chased down the road by a very unsettled dog, whose territory I had invaded off on the left-hand side of the road, presumably.

    I’m not sure how many sites are actually there at the park. I saw only about three real proper spots to the right by the river that I could count, at least.

    There was another section to the left of the entry road, which was barred off by a gate, but I decided to car camp for the night by the boat launch and not hike in with all my gear.

    There was a perhaps 10-15 spot parking lot by the boat ramp (and the bathrooms) where two trucks with boat trailers were parked.

    It was a Saturday night, and there was a little music coming from one of the boats close up to the shore. But it was a chill vibe, and I felt no apprehension about sleeping in the place.

    The bathrooms were spidery but clean and pretty basic.

    I woke up to the chattering of a crap-ton of birds. And I was not disappointed to find a large owl preening itself in the tree towering above my site.

    The river, on daylight inspection, was great and somewhat enticing, but I resisted the urge to bust out my kayak opting instead for a quick breakfast and an early day back on the road.

    I totally recommend, unless you want a shower and/or more services.

    North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

    Remote location just a few miles north of Ketchum

    Dispersed camping along the Wood River and a couple of SNRA Campgrounds with pit toilets and water. Amazing spot within easy driving distance of Ketchum and Sun Valley. The road dead ends at the trailhead for the Hemingway Wilderness
