Best Glamping near May, ID

 Though this campground sits along the highway it is easier to tolerate noise when its free! 

The campground loop is gravel and has “pull next to” (bump out?) type sites with covered picnic table and a fire pit. There are also pit toilets and a hand pump water spigot. There is also a boat ramp and a day use area. 

The river is very shallow and the bank is quite muddy -- our little dog sank up to her belly. 

No privacy here and lots of road noise but you get to see the river and the meandering cows across the river. 

Did not see any wildlife unless you count the swarms of tiny bugs of the variety that squeeze their little bug bodies through your screens. 

Zero cell reception ATT, verizon or TMobile. The WeBoost was able to give us bars of LTE but still was not very usable.

Good for an overnight but not much around to keep us occupied for anything longer.

Small and up in the mountains, this campground has 9 first come sites with about half backing to the creek and the other half to the trees on the lollipop loop. The only sounds I heard while there were the wind in the pines, birds, one large group of OHV’ers, and the very infrequent truck going by out on the Adventure Road. Some of those trucks belonged to the road crew who were grading the road on this side of the pass. They kicked up a bunch of dust, but it blew away quickly. The two vault toilets were clean and stocked with TP. The campground was spotless. My top sites of choice are sites 2 and 3 because of the shade and proximity to the creek. Site 3 is closer to the vault toilet and the working water pump. There is also a nice day use group picnic site. Just down the road less than a mile is the foundation of the former Greenwood Ststion, a stagecoach stop on the road.

This small campground is along the Adventure Road going up the pass between Custer and Challis, on the Custer side of the pass. Really cool massive boulders are in and around the campground, and even though it is along the pass and near a beautiful gorge, you really can’t see anything beyond the campground due to the terrain. Sites are on the larger side, but not necessarily level. There are picnic tables and fire rings and a clean vault toilet, but not much else. Shade trees are on the skinny side so it may be difficult to hang a hammock. During the day it can get dusty with OHVs going up and down the road. For a cool experience, check out the ghost town of Custer or go further along the Adventure Road to see the ruins of some of the stagecoach stops.
