    North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

    Great location just outside Sun Valley

    Short 12-15 minute drive north from Ketchum/Sun Valley.  Only 1* off because of slight road noise but it is probably not an issue for most sites.  We were pretty close to the highway and it still was not too loud.

    Camp Host named Rich is very helpful.  $7 firewood for sale each evening.

    North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

    Most excellent!

    Beautiful campground located at the mouth of Sawtooth Natl Forest. Right next to Wood River and surrounded by huge cottonwoods. Vault toilets and well water from spigot available. Pets allowed on leash. Good basecamp for exploring the Sawtooth area and Ketchum! I only knocked it down to 4 stars for highway noise which was rarely bothersome.

    Mormon Bend Campground

    Very rugged

    This site was right along a river that was very beautiful but the campground was on higher ground so most people walked down to the entrance where you could get to the river or some people stood on the bridge to fish. Not all spots have trees, so be careful if you have pets. They did have three campsites for people with horses to camp. Not our cup of tea but if you are low maintenance or bring it all with you then this may be your pace. No other amenities. Right up the road from Stanley.

    Caribou Campground

    Best ever

    Small loop with no traffic or noise. Bike distance to Harriman trail and easy access into Ketchum for a coffee or wine run ! Stream to wash up in. No water or electric but clean out bathroom. Water is available a short walk to a different campsite. Awesome views.

    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.
