 Right off Hwy 75 in the Sawtooth National Forest is this nice campground within a grove of aspens. The road through the campground is gravel and the sites are gravel and dirt. It was quite dusty when we went but the trees were starting to change color which was nice and you can hear the wind shaking the aspen leaves so it made of a relaxing vibe here.

$18/ night, $10 firewood (fire restrictions in effect).  Sites are reservable on recreation.gov.

 Hiking/biking trails nearby and this campground also sits along the Big Wood River. There were garbage dumpsters and pit toilet bathrooms and water spigots throughout. 

Each site had mostly level parking spots with picnic tables and fire pits. Each site was fairly private and offered nice amount of shade. There were plenty of sites open and there are some pull throughs for bigger rigs. 

Good for RVs, vans or tents.

Zero cell reception from ATT, Verizon or TMoblie

This is our second stay here since new ownership. First trip was June 2022 and October 2922.  Both trips we had an awesome time. Just in a few months this place has made some very nice improvements and still has amazing views surrounding the camp ground. After staying a few places in the area over this past summer, Trinity View Resort for us is our top pic and will be spending a lot more time here in the future. Both trips we had our E-Bikes and took some amazing rides through the valleys and mountains and still haven't explored all the areas available here. 

 Cell service is good here. We have Verizon hot spot that worked perfectly and AT&T cell phones have good signal as well,

 There are different options for all kinds of campers from, Full hook ups ( Big rig friendly) to tent camping. On site RV rentals and cabins are also available.

Lots of fun stuff to do here for the whole family or even groups. 

 The people here are friendly and respectful to other campers as well as super friendly staff and owners. Very friendly to work with and communication with changes if need depending availability. 

 This resort is well on its way to be one of the best camp resorts in this area. Well worth the trip for sure.

Grandjean has several campsites, some on the river, some not.  Some of the sites would accommodate smaller truck bed campers and maybe trailer campers.  We tent camp and needed the 4-wheel drive to get to the end of the road.  I didn't see any RV sites, there might be one or two around but its unlikely that there would be hookups of any kind.  There might be a restroom off the main road on the way toward Grandjean but there were none close to any of the campsites around us.  I would describe this as remote car camping.  Established tent sites and fire pits, beautiful scenery, privacy and not a lot of extras.   The Sawtooth Lodge is up the road and does offer RV space, tent camping and cabins.  I am speaking of the rustic camping sites between Highway 21 and the Sawtooth Lodge.

Picabo Angler Silver Creek RV Park is an open 5 acre field set in the center of a quiet farming valley. There are no "camp sites" just a gravel road running around the field. Find a spot you like and park. It has a small creek running along the edge. There is a single pit toilet. We stayed here 9/28/2020.  We saw two moose on the way in and had coyotes serenade us at night. we only stayed here because it was getting late and needed some place to park our truck camper for the night. Would not make this a destiination.

Free designated dispersed campsite along Sawtooth Nation Forest Road 137. Camped here at the end of September 2024. Very large designated dispersed site set downhill from the forest road; no issues with dust from this road. The area is level. May be able to park 3 rigs. Tent camping is possible back from the parking area toward the metal firering. This area can accommodate 3 or 4 tents, or one big hot tent. Corral Creek is just down a short path from the campsite. The sound of the creek can be heard at the site. Very quiet area. Mountains on either side of the site. The parking area is dirt and gravel. The "tent" area is grass and dirt. Don't see opportunities for hammock camping. No cell service. No shade; solar recharging and Starlink possible. 3 day limit. Hiking trailheads and vault toilet at the end of the forest road.

We found this little gem while planning a stop over from Missoula to Sun Valley. It served us well for the night. It was very spacious, accessible roads, very friendly and accommodating staff. Our site had plenty of space for our trailer and truck and then some. It has recently opened so a work in progress. The gravel is a bit sharp at the sites, but it didn't do any harm for us and didn't seem to be affecting any others in the park. You are nestled up against the beautiful foothills and apparently is a good spot for those with ATVs. We didn't have a picnic table or fire pit- not needed since we were only staying for a night. This area is very remote and we didn't have any AT&T cell service the entire time. We also logged into their wifi but it never worked for us. I was able to send an imessage, but that was it. It was kind of nice to be forced to shut technology down for a night, although I wouldn't recommend this place during a work week if you work remote. You might be completely out of luck. They even have a cafe and patio in the office where you check in that has delicious food, milkshakes, cocktails, etc. They accept Good Sam membership. I'm giving them a 4 out 5 because their friendly staff, the cafe, the unique setting, the spacious site all made up for an overnight with no cell service or wifi. If they could get their wifi up to speed for the entire park, they'd be golden!

This campground is off Hwy 75 in Sawtooth National Forest somewhat in a grove of aspens. The road in has some navigable large pit holes but the campground itself is fairly smooth gravel and dirt loop. 

Sites are dirt and gravel and each had fire pit and picnic table. Semi private to private depending on where you get a site. There were plenty of open spots available when we checked it out in September. 

Amazing views so if you are into hiking, biking or photography then this place is great. There is no host on site and this is a self pay campground at $16/night. 

This is bear country but no bear boxes are provided here. There are water spigots and dumpsters and pit toilets. Zero cell service. Also nearby there are hot springs across the bridge though we did not check these out. No fires at this time!

This is a very clean campground. The Vault is super clean and very nice! Not to far off the road, but some traffic. We camped in spot # 5 next to the river. Super level site, I think is the best site. We have a 26ft. trailer and the road circles to #5 was pretty tight but manageable, although there are a couple sites for bigger rigs. Plenty of room to setup your camp chairs etc.  New tables, fire ring and a BBQ stand all in great shape. Sights are far enough apart, your not right next to the next site. Shaded from the sun most the day. New road mix gravel coving your camping spot. A few miles back to Featherville if you need anything. Plenty of hiking areas. Just all around great spot!

Nice little campground with less than a dozen sites. Everything is very flat here so no worries about finding a level site. The river is nearby but there is no real access here. Go down the road a bit and you will have some nice water access. The campground is clean and maintained, with the usual picnic tables and fire pits. No dedicated tent pads, but lots of cushy pine needles for under your tent. Lots of trees that are good for hammocks, just know that you might get a drop or two of pine sap dripping on you. Pop down to the Lowman ranger station down river a few miles to get some good maps; while you are at it, stop in at the Lowman Inn for some killer pizza.

This is a great campground. Sites are spaced out, 1 loop makes it easy to maneuver. Would recommend NOT using sites 3, 4, or 5 if you have an RV. All other sites are great! The entrance is a narrow road down a hill. But still very accessible for a travel trailer.

Keep in mind, Black Rock is 20 miles of dirt road. It does get bumpy in some spots. I was able to drive 15-20mph with a trailer most of the time.

No trash service, pack in pack out. Vault toilets, hand crank water pump. Recommend RVs fill up on water in Idaho City.

No cell service on T Mobile

Middle of August, a little warm, so I requested 30 Amp hookup for 2 rv's. Get there, to our spots that we reserved on the dyrt, no hook ups at all.  There is only 1 hook up near the barn.  Sherry offered for us to move over there, I decided not to due to my other party being without electricity.  I expressed my concern to Sherry about her advertising that she had hook ups for 2 rigs, when in fact she does not.  Her response was, I can refund your money and you can leave.  Wow! Not that easy to just leave and get another campsite in August when everyone in the world is camping.  We are also Harvest Host members, which she showed nothing available when we looked.  However, on the dyrt she charged $30 for us to park on her grass with no amenities.  I would have loved to purchase some of her vegetables, but this left a bad taste.  Also they walk by with their dogs and don't even say hello.  Have to give it 3 stars only because it's a nice peaceful farm.
