Bear Valley
Stanley, Idaho4 Reviews6 Photos22 SavesOverview: Bear Valley Campground is located along Bear Valley Creek which is one of the major headwater streams for the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The campground is well shaded by a stand of lodgepole pine. However, many of the trees in the area are beginning to die due to a mountain pine beetle infestation. Use is moderate to high during the summer months and hunting season, and the campground is often full on weekends. Access to the campground is normally not available until June. There is no trash service, please pack it out!!! (Driveway lengths for RVs are limited. However, two sites will easily accommodate larger RV's and trailers.)

Casino Creek Campground
Quiet campsite by the river with picturesque views.
I recently visited Casino Creek Campground and it was an amazing adventure! The site is located along the Salmon River, which makes it great for fishing and hiking. The campground offers cozy sites with minimal amenities, and the nature around is simply breathtaking. I especially liked the nearby hot springs, where you can relax after an active day. And you know, in the evening, after all the walking and fresh air, I enjoyed immersing myself in the world of online casinos like 22bet - https://atlantaredcarpet.com/casino/22bet/. It is a great way to relax and add some adrenaline after a quiet and peaceful holiday in nature.
Deadman Hole
Simple
Stayed here for two nights. The first night I have the whole area to myself. The second night there was two other campers. Doesn't seem to be super popular or high in demand. So finding a spot shouldn't be a problem. There was about six or more parking/camping areas. No Wi-Fi or Verizon signal. There is a toilet available. Access to the river as well.
North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest
Quiet
The campground is clean $20 a night with some highway noise. There is a bear in the area at this time.
Iron Creek Campground
Absolutely Beautiful!
We stayed at this campground initially because it was right at the trailhead for the hike to Goat Lake. We got there around 5 and there were still plenty of sites available. It was pretty buggy, but it’s right next to a creek, so that’s what you expect. It was quiet and the sound of the creek made it easy to sleep after a long day.
Bull Trout Lake Campground
Great Campground
Spend 6 nights here while exploring Stanley, the sawtooths, and Boise National Forest. Big sites, beautiful lake, and very private. Really enjoyed our stay here.
The Sawmill Station
Perfect Location
It was the perfect location close to Stanley. It was a bit dusty. Bathroom was clean. Showers were good. The food at the restaurant was amazing. We have AT&T and no cell service. There is no trees for shade. Had to walk the dogs a little further to do their business.
North Fork Campground - Sawtooth National Forest
Great Place to get away
It’s a quiet place. It is dusty. The camp host was awesome. He was quick to tell us what sites were still available on a holiday weekend. He even alerted the campers that a bear was spotted a few miles down. There is no power and no cell service.
Pettit Lake Campground
Fantastic location - super full
We drove in on a late Thursday night, June 27th, to find the entire campground packed, and even struggled to find a dispersed camping site nearby. It's a great spot, but for it being a Thursday night, expected to find a bit more available.
Deadwood Campground
Nice 1 night stay
Quick 1 night stay. Nice river access. Pretty quiet.
Petit Lake Dispersed Camping
Alone on a stream,
There are many sites up until the dead-end about 1.5 miles from the pay campground. I camped up on the stream. Great boondocking was here for a week. The road is in great shape. A couple of big rocks here and there. Plenty of places to do a 3-point turnaround with any rig.
No cell coverage. Got ok starlink between trees.
Troutdale
Beautiful place
Great spot to relax
Casino Creek Campground
perfect
Hey, buddy! If you ever find yourself in Idaho and need a place to camp, definitely check out the Idaho Casino Creek Campground- it's perfect for unplugging and enjoying the great outdoors! But when you're ready for a little extra excitement, why not try some real money online casinos https://casinosonlinehex.cl/? It's a great way to pass the time and maybe even win some extra cash- so go ahead, give it a try and see what happens!
Boise National Forest Black Rock Campground
Beautiful sites on the River
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
Petit Lake Dispersed Camping
Beautiful Area
This area just up the road from the campground offers lots of dispersed camping. There are many established sites, some with fire rings, any car can make it.
Visited August 17-18, 2023 (adding reviews for past camp sites before I knew of the dyrt)
Chemeketan Campground
Didn’t make it all the way- excited to come back
We were very excited to check out this campground. Located 4 miles off Hwy 75, we only made it 1.5 up the road before snow prevented us from going further. We can’t wait to come back when it’s warmer and leave a full review.
Watts Bridge Campground
Overnight with dogs
Pulled over mid day to spend the afternoon and night. We took the second to last spot on the river side. Arrived at noon on a Tuesday, departed at 8am next day and were the only campers. Very easy river access from site, but water is moving quickly. We walked to the other side of the bridge and let our dogs jump in where the water was calmer. Overall really clean and well maintained space. The only thing that will prevent us from coming back is the cottonwood tree droppings. They’re everywhere and very sticky, so if you have long haired dogs, it’s a nightmare to get them out.
Antelope Creek
Great
This site was pretty easy to find. 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. Tons of space, especially since we were by ourselves. Had a real fire pit! This was a cold stay and our tent was covered in frost in the morning, but a good spot to be. Close enough to town, close enough to hiking.
Hayfork Group Campground
My favorite campground
My favorite campground is this one. It's situated behind the trees on a creek. perfect for tent camping. Campers and smaller RVs could also find room and play super mario bros wonder . There's a lot of isolation in the campground because of its abundance of trees.
Howers Campground
With a beautiful place
With a beautiful place like this, I don't understand why so few people come. It's really great to come here with friends to chat and play pico park together
Corral Creek Canyon Dispersed
Nice location, campsites spreadout
Quiet, private campsites. Close to Sun Valley. Place to turn around if unable to fine a campsite. No cell coverage. Only 3 day limit.
Antelope Creek
Close in to Sun Valley
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. Would pick the first or second. The road is difficult between the second and third access roads. Would recommend walking down to see if safe for you and your vehicle. There is more dispersed camping farther up the road but you begin to lose cell coverage.
Stanley Lake Campground
Lovely view of the Sawtooths
Nice view of the lake. Quiet time of year to visit.
Casino Creek Campground

There's a second great camping just beside the Salmon River. After crossing the bridge into Highway 75 from https://tortugacasino.org/, keep going straight on the dusty dirt road until you reach the campground. Stay on the public road; there is private property in the area.
Smiley Creek Lodge
Good in the end of season
New owners have downsized the RV area to only six sites. That being said I'm enjoying our trip in mid-September since only half are being filled. That being said site 1 is not very usable due to not having a table or sewer hookup.
We paid $100 a night which is a premium but given the location it felt worth it.
Bull Trout Lake Campground
Great spot to camp
We love camping in this campground. The reason for only three stars is because of the extremely rude behavior of the"camp host". We will not be going back as long as she is still there. This is our third time camping there and we have never seen treated so poorly by a camp host.
Meadows RV Park
Close to a beautiful bike path
If you’re looking for a simple stay, close to all, including a gorgeous bike path, this will do the trick.
No one was there when we pulled in at 5 (they say they are open until 10), but they left a map & the park is small, so it wasn’t rocket science. It was a little tough to find the dump drain, but it’s there, and the parking situation is a little wonky at first (especially if you’re pulling in after a long drive) and may feel a little confusing. The utilities for each spot are just next to each other. Yours will have your spot number on it.
If you’re looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. It is right off a main highway, which didn’t bother us at all but I did see some complaints on yelp about noise. The noise was not bad at all, especially with windows closed and air on. We had vents and windows open and we were fine (and I’m a light sleeper/sensitive to noise). If you want less noise, I suggest you ask for a spot on the residential side of the park.
You’re also just next door to a residential community. Our spot sat next to someone’s backyard. No problem for us, but this my bother some.
The spots are packed in, but we paid $5 extra for a “premium” end unit, and that worked just fine. I will agree that it’s a little pricey for what you get. Bathrooms were clean enough, could have been given a little more attention as to how the trash can and paper bits were on the floor.
But, again, if you’re looking for a resort, go elsewhere. We give it a 4 for proximity to town, access to bike paths, and some pretty epic views.
Murdock Creek Dispersed
Quiet spot near Ketchum
This is a fee based campground with a host that offers a first come first serve camping experience. We got in late in the day and were happy to find a spot. The ground was a bit limited for tent camping but we ended with a great location near moving water. The sound of water created a very serene environment for rest. The real treat came when we saw the beauty of the night sky unencumbered by city lights; the Milky Way was on full display.
