Best Equestrian Camping near Irwin, ID

I only stayed at the campground for the trails nearby. But the night I stayed it was loud and there’s very little privacy. The trails that I’d come for were very scenic but also packed by 8:30 AM. I should’ve picked a different area as I thought it would be peaceful and it wasn’t. I would not return for either campsite nor trails.

This campground has a small number of lots, and when we were there in July most were filled by RVs. Only one had a noisy generator;) our spot was right next to the roaring Palisades Creek, and a short walk to restrooms. Only 15 bucks a night;)

This was an amazing overnight camping excursion.

A favorite hike-to of ours. A beautiful 8 mile hike up the mountain finished with secluded sites with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Lots of wildlife, a bear cannister is required and provided at the parks Visitors Center when receiving your backcountry permit

 great place to enjoy nature picked up oil-based painting again and had a week of nice

Beautiful view from this one spot. This was about 3 Mi in. If you go further it goes straight down into the woods toward a lake and it's very dark and no light, no stars, and truly scary bear country. I don't know how people can camp in tents in this type of area. Also, prepare for very cold nights. Last night, July 2nd, was damp and about 36° and it was an uncomfortable sleep!

Death canyon trail head is the starting point for the hike. Permit is required. You can get one at the visitor center.

Really nice people. Helped us out in a jam. Clean bathrooms and showers. Full hook ups.

on the way to the campground you will travel down dirt roads that are full of scenic views. when you get to the sites it is hard to choose if you want to be right next to the water where you can fish for trout or remain tucked in the woods. both are peaceful and leave society behind.

There are many pay to park camp areas around here and also some free areas if you’re adventurous enough! Lots of land to explore and fishing is great!

Need a backpack permit and reservation. It's a little over 4 miles to get to. Not a ton of foot traffic makes it that far so it's pretty quiet. Great view of Mt Moran. Trapper lake has some beavers and pretty mellow. On top of the hill at the site gives you another great view. There is a Bear Box for food storage here.

We really enjoyed the 3 nights we stayed at Atherton creek! The campground was full when we arrived on a Friday so the host put us up near the boat launch and we were able to snag a spot in the actual campground the following morning. Site #19 is probably the best tent spot in the house with a beautiful lake view and some good trees for shade. Clean restrooms and drinking water available. FYI the road to the campground has some sizeable pot holes so use caution on your way in! Made it just fine in our Prius but it required some swerving to avoid bottoming out. Firewood available from the host. Would definitely stay here again.

Forget waking up at 2am to try and snag a site at Jenny Lake. This off-the-beaten-path campground in Teton NF only has 23 sites, with beautiful views of Lower Slide Lake and the mountains.

Best tent site is #19. Awesome view. (Warning: other tent sites can be a little lumpy and hard to find flat ground.)

Bonus: saw a herd of Bison driving to the campground in Antelope Flats.

Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this campsite mid May and there were not many people there. They were available campsites at 7 p.m. when we arrived. There are only a few campsites directly on the water but others have good views and tree coverage.

We were nervous driving from Westgate Yellowstone to this campground not knowing if any sites would be available as this is a first come first served campground. Got here on Thursday morning and there were 4 sites available. This is a great campsite for tents and camper vans, However we have a 31’ travel trailer with one slide-out. It fit in site 6 with no problems. There are no hook ups at this campground, you do have access to fresh water and non-plumbed toilets. They do allow generators between 8 and 10, however  we did not run ours very much because people come here to get away from the noise. Each site is $15 a night and comes with a table/bench and fire pit. They use the envelope system so make sure you put your tag on your campsite post to secure your location. The Creek allows swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. As expected the water is not clear and can get a little choppy when the wind picks up. All-and-all this was the first time in our trip that we truly felt disconnected and could relax. It’s worth the extra drive! Take some time and drive further into the valley it is gorgeous. Also the camp-host is very helpful and friendly. P.S. If you need to dump your tanks the Virginia RV park in Jackson let’s you dump your tanks for $15.
