    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!

    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!

    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

    Centennial Rest Area Hwy 93

    Parking lot on the edge of town.

    This parking lot allows for overnight parking, up to 16 hours. There are toilets and some picnic tables. A few trees and a nice view of the mountains.

    Birdie Creek Campground

    Dry Camping at its best!

    Big area off the road, easy to get in and out. Could be a great group spot and fit 3 or 4 trailers. Lots of trees for shade. Short 2 minute walk down to the river. River was about knee deep in most places and was perfect for putting in a chair and relaxing. Wildlife all around, from eagles, deer and chipmunks. Four miles from where the pavement ends and right around the corner from Bird Creek Campground. About 15-20 minutes away from Baumgartner Campgroup and hot  pool. There is no reception, and zero amenities.

    Could not get them to respond to me

    This review does not reflect the campground but the staff. They would not respond to my phone calls nor my emails.
