"If you’re looking for a simple stay, close to all, including a gorgeous bike path, this will do the trick."
"The location can't be beat, right off the river and biking trails. The mountains are absolutely gorgeous from your campsite."
"Nice location, close to town. Close to road but not much traffic. Access can be difficult with steep access from main road and tricky spots along the access road. There are three access spots."
"There were a couple of campers camped closer to the road from the turn-off but we managed to find a spot that was secluded and perfect for us right next to the creek."
"Large campsites next to stream nestled in a beautiful valley. Hiking/mtb trail next to campsites."
$5 - $42 / night
"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."
"This is free dispersed camping on a dirt road loop, just off highway 75. It is located just north of Sun Valley by a few miles on highway 75 as you head towards Galena summit."
"We were able to find a site at the last minute, after 2 surrounding sites were full. Camp host was friendly and prompt to check us in. Nice big site. Dogs allowed on leash."
"This Forest Road is popular being so close to town, but if you venture 3 to 4 miles in it's very quiet and peaceful. Lots of great hiking at the to trailheads near this campsite."
"This area is just 10 minutes south of Galena Lodge and 25 minutes north of Ketchum. We arrived on a Friday morning and had no problem finding a shaded, private site."
"The road loops with the lower side of the loop next to the creek. The road to get up was washboarded but still camper safe"
TravelerShort 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.
ScoutBeautiful 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.

Travelerclose to Ketchum and loads of good bike trails. camped in a small Aspen Grove . highway noise and bugs were the only complaint.
GuideClose to Ketchum, right off the highway. Nice sites. Quiet at night when traffic dies down.
TravelerThis 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.
TravelerClose sites,share utility access and table with your neighbors, easy access to Ketchum and Sun Valley
GuideSmall 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.
GuideNorth 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.
