  Corral Creek Designated Dispersed

  Large dispersed site near creek

  Free designated dispersed campsite along Sawtooth Nation Forest Road 137. Camped here at the end of September 2024. Very large designated dispersed site set downhill from the forest road; no issues with dust from this road. The area is level. May be able to park 3 rigs. Tent camping is possible back from the parking area toward the metal firering. This area can accommodate 3 or 4 tents, or one big hot tent. Corral Creek is just down a short path from the campsite. The sound of the creek can be heard at the site. Very quiet area. Mountains on either side of the site. The parking area is dirt and gravel. The "tent" area is grass and dirt. Don't see opportunities for hammock camping. No cell service. No shade; solar recharging and Starlink possible. 3 day limit. Hiking trailheads and vault toilet at the end of the forest road.

  Chemeketan Campground

  Wonderful

  It has been a long time since I have been there. Not a lot of amminites then. Best scenery and lots of tent sites away from crowds. Will go back again.

  Trail Break RV Park & Campground

  Clean, simple and decent priced sites

  Tent sites and rv sites available!

  Tent sites are on a nice large green patch of grass. Park right next to your tent.

  The bathrooms are locked for paying campers only and have a sink, shower and toilet. Very clean and nice.

  There is also a locked washroom for paying campers to use as well.

  The owners live on site and are very friendly and are happy to help with questions!

  Very decently priced when all you need is somewhere to set up your tent for the night and get up and go in the morning. Would also be great for staying longer!

  Located in the town of Glenn’s ferry but still far enough away from public so you don’t feel like you’re camping in town.

  Restuarants, gas stations and a few convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the campground.

  Interesting history is available to see close to the campground as well. Learn about the Oregon trail!

  Spillway Campground

  Right on the reservoir

  This is not my ideal place to camp.  No where to tent camp but there is camper and RV camping in what I would describe as "parking lot style".  That said, if your goal is accessing the water, the boat ramp is right across the dam and this is a glorious place for boating.

  Castle Creek Campground

  Good Reservoir Access

  This is one of the smaller campgrounds on the reservoir.  This campground does not have a restroom, most of the others near by do.  Great access to the water but not really great for hiking.  This campground is best for campers or small RV's, you could tent camp her but it would not be my first choice in places to go.

  Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

  Two thumbs down Campsite for tents

  Well, that wasn’t fun. If anyone is planning on tent camping here, I would highly suggest going somewhere else. The dunes are awesome, but wow were the sites a let down. The fields had no grass and minimal shade. I ended up sleeping in my car but with the heat, needed the windows down. That’s when I entered mosquito hell and spent the night swatting skeeters all night. For an rv, sure good spot but tent campers beware.

  Trail Break RV Park & Campground

  Nice showers/bathrooms

  Good overnight place for tent camping. The showers were the main reason we booked for the night. They were clean, a little small but good water pressure. The hosts were nice and helpful. The highway was loud, but something you could get used to. The sheep also made a lot of noise but that was more cute than annoying. Overall it was a good stay and served our purposes.

  Evans Creek Campground

  Nice reservoir access

  This campground is bigger than many on the reservoir.  There is enough room for groups if you get there early.  Like most of the campgrounds on this road, you have a hill on one side and the reservoir on the other.  This campground is good for campers and some RV's but not so good for tent camping.  Camping here means you are looking for water access,  which is great, at this site.

  Miracle Hot Springs

  Even the camp sites weren't social distancing

  It was only 6 steps from one site to the next. Cost was exceptionally high for the pool/hot spring access. Plus the $20 for tent site. Would not go again. We went for the night sky, but the close proximity other campers made it not so good. Also, I dont usually mind bugs but this was ridiculous!! Showers were nice though.

  Smiley Creek Lodge

  Great staff, clean place that caters mainly to RVs

  I passed this place on Labor Day weekend and decided to stay. They officially don’t have tent sites but had some grassy area where I could pitch my tent anyway. That did mean there were no picnic tables or fire rings for me but the RV sites did have them.

  The bathroom/showers were small but clean.

  The bar/restaurant serves good food and the staff and locals were very friendly and offered all kinds of suggestions for my trip

  Murdock Creek Dispersed

  Quiet spot near Ketchum

  This is a fee based campground with a host that offers a first come first serve camping experience. We got in late in the day and were happy to find a spot. The ground was a bit limited for tent camping but we ended with a great location near moving water. The sound of water created a very serene environment for rest. The real treat came when we saw the beauty of the night sky unencumbered by city lights; the Milky Way was on full display.

  Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground

  Well kept & clean! Had a nice time there!

  Rented a cabin in April/May as it was expected to be rainy & chilly! Surprisingly, the weather warmed up a bit so it was just windy & chilly at night.

  The only bad thing was (and it's not the park's fault) that Mountain Home AFB decided to do JET maneuvers at 1, 2, and 3 AM , causing a night's sleep to be non-existent!

  Will definately be back during warmer weather for TENT camping, hopefully on a weekend so the observatory will be open! Currently, it's only open on Friday & Saturday! I was there earlier in the week!

  Trail Break RV Park & Campground

  Listen to the sounds of highway cars and trains all night

  We originally planned to camp at Three Island state park, based on the positive Dyrt reviews, but when we arrived there, the posted fee for sites was $34, which we found too expensive for our mere purpose of sleeping and then hitting the road again. We remembered a sign on the way to the park that read "Camping - RV + Tents. Less $$$ than state park." So we figured, heck, let's just go there. We read quickly online that the prices for tent sites are $15. Perfect! We arrive at 11pm, which yes, it's late, BUT the office sign was blinking "OPEN." So we thought no problem. We ring the camp host. He sounds grumpy but arrives a couple minutes later. He is definitely grumpy. He tells me they do accept credit card and it will be $25. I ask for clarification given the listed price online. He says "New policy as of 6 days ago. I'm sick of people arriving late at all hours." Fair enough...but turn off the "Open" sign. I agree to pay it, we're exhausted at this point, and at least the campground has showers.

  Some pros: very close to highway

  Some cons: very close to the highway and a train track.

  The tenting experience: we listening all night to the sound of bug zappers, hourly train whistles, and speeding cars. See the video for reference. The tent sites were flat at least. A basic grill but no picnic table provided. It is probably convenient to have the wifi and laundry on-site, but we wouldn't know because we left as soon as we could after a near sleepless night.

  1000 Springs Resort

  Great views!!!

  We just went to 1000 springs this past weekend. A total of 12 of us in two separate spots. One right on the water and the other in the middle section in the tent camping area. The water was wonderful and we were able to paddle over to Ritter island on our paddle boards. The campsites are decent size but way to close together where you are basically on top of the camp site next to you. We didn't use any of the amenities such as the pool because the weather was warm and the river was cool. The dock off our campsite could have used a little TLC, I got splinters just from touching it. The portable bathrooms were clean when we got there and full and dirty when we left. You can only have one car per campsite and the rest have to be parked elsewhere which the spots really aren't big enough for a car and multiple tents. But would definitely go back again.

  Trinity View Resort

  Nice little RV/camp spot for the family

  We spend two days this July. Staff was friendly and informative. Don’t forget a mask if your going during Covid times. (Office requires it). Facilities are clean and nice. The small pool was great for the kiddos. We tent camped and where lucky to get the pick of the spots. The tent area has two covered areas with power. While we where there they’re where about. 7 tents with probably room for about 4 more. The group fire pit is also large and nice. One family in our group brought their RV and had a nice spot and hooks up where all working. We are considered locals so we didn’t make the trek the Anderson reservoir since we know all about it but if your not local make the short drive to enjoy some boating or swimming. The put put course want not available since it was getting worked on but was getting a overhaul so next time should be great. They have a community building but it was closed due to CoVid19. All in all it was a great weekend and spot.

  Alturas Inlet Campground

  Good escape from the summer heat

  Alturas Lake Inlet campground is tucked into the lovely, shady forest around it. We saw plenty of birds, chipmunks and tiny wildflowers were all over our site in early July. The lake is a short walk but some campers drove over just to make it easier to tote their chairs and water gear. Bring layers - it can is cool in the evenings and at night (40s F) even in July but warm in the day, especially if you are out by the lake. We tent camped at site 17 and although it was near one of the many vault toilets, smaller trash dumpsters, and water spigots, our site was bigger and we set up a decent distance from it. Most sites seemed to have a good distance between each other and enough privacy courtesy of trees and various plant life. We didn’t have any issues, but there plenty of signs reminding campers to be bear aware. (We are pretty careful to keep our food, cooking supplies, toiletries and whatnot in our car when not in use anyway). We did not have cell service (Verizon) and it was a bit of a drive before we got it again. Overall, it’s a beautiful retreat well suited to escaping the heat of summer if you have a tent or small trailer/pull behind.

  Highly Recommended!! Clean, Quiet with Amazing Views

  CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO FOR DISCOUNT CODE

  https://youtu.be/rZl1wN8JlRI

  This is our second stay here since new ownership. First trip was June 2022 and October 2922.  Both trips we had an awesome time. Just in a few months this place has made some very nice improvements and still has amazing views surrounding the camp ground. After staying a few places in the area over this past summer, Trinity View Resort for us is our top pic and will be spending a lot more time here in the future. Both trips we had our E-Bikes and took some amazing rides through the valleys and mountains and still haven't explored all the areas available here. 

   Cell service is good here. We have Verizon hot spot that worked perfectly and AT&T cell phones have good signal as well,

   There are different options for all kinds of campers from, Full hook ups ( Big rig friendly) to tent camping. On site RV rentals and cabins are also available.

  Lots of fun stuff to do here for the whole family or even groups. 

   The people here are friendly and respectful to other campers as well as super friendly staff and owners. Very friendly to work with and communication with changes if need depending availability. 

   This resort is well on its way to be one of the best camp resorts in this area. Well worth the trip for sure.

  Prairie Creek Camping

  Great camping experience!

  This campground is just outside sun valley, Idaho. When we stayed it was very quiet and many different choices of campsites, you can here the road from your site but it was not disruptive. The bathroom is far from most sites and no cell service but consequently was not the issue, the views were breathtaking. The creek was accessible. Firewood is easily available if you’re willing to collect it. The roads are a little rough but animals were no concern. We camped in our tent and had a wonderful time, and it was free!

  Out in the middle of NOWHERE

  Fort Running Bear RV Park, Idaho

  If you like the middle of nowhere, you will like Fort Running Bear RV Park. It is approximately 32 miles to the middle of nowhere, the last three are on a dirt road. You are driving through scrub country with no trees and hills in the distance. Then you see a copse of trees in the distance. That is where you end up. This is an older campground, private and family run. There is a shower house attached to the swimming pool and a laundry room. The sites have room around them for tents, bikes, etc; a covered picnic table , most have shade and fire rings. There are full hookup sites and basic sites. When we visited the wind was wiping through the area. The owners are personable and friendly, the campground is well maintained. The shower house ...clean and a little old. This would be a nice place to spend a quiet weekend or time with the family. It would not make sense to use this campground for a base camp due to the distance from anywhere.

  Clean, well-maintained and easy to reach from the freeway

  The owners are super friendly and onsite. The campground spots are spacious, well maintained and there is a large open grass area. Leashed pets are welcome and mine loves the grass.

  The camp spots have fire rings.

  I get a tent spot for my rooftop tent and they have flushing toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry onsite.

  Well worth the $15 rate!

  Nice place close to great trailheads

  I enjoyed my 2 night stay here. I pitched a tent however it was quite windy due to it being an open area so just stake your tent down well. I had a spot right beside the salmon river and was able to access this campsite via my Honda Accord vehicle.

  I initially reviewed this campground under Wood River Group (reservable) before the Dyrt added just the campground (first come only). Both the group and individual sites are at the same location. You can check out my extensive review and photos there. I had already deleted moat of my photos before I got the notice this one was added. Here's that post.

  Alice Lake Primitive Campsite - Sawtooth National Forest

  Peninsula Campsite with Mountain View

  This was the second spot we camped on our backpacking trip (Alice-Toxaway Loop). We started at Tin Cup Trailhead and did the loop counterclockwise, making Alice Lake our last stop.

  We were able to fit 3 tents on this peninsula, but unfortunately we got a lot of rain and 2 tents were in lakes of water and needed to be moved.

  The views, rain and shine are amazing! You are also able to hike around the whole lake which was a fun activity.

  North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

  Good location to beautiful hikes

  North Fork is located a few miles north of Ketchum. The facilities are clean and the host is friendly and helpful.

  The tent locations are a little on the small side. I have a 4-man tent and had to stamp down some grass and plants in order to make it fit. It’s odd because the sites are HUGE.

  You are very close to great hiking, biking and Crater of the Moon NM. Ketchum has a grocery store for food, but I couldn’t find stove fuel anywhere so make sure you come stocked.

  Silver Creek Public Access Dispersed

  Pleasant surprise

  Use satellite view to see the sites. One site had a picnic table, tent pad and pit toilet, but was already occupied. The second location had two picnic tables with awnings, two tent pads and one pit toilet, complete with a mouse. We took the further site and a couple arrived at the other site around 7pm. It was very pleasant and quiet, but might not be if there were several campers in the large parking lot. Great, clean spot by the creek.
