This is a good option between Ketchum and Stanley to go explore the sawtooth mountains. It’s a little bit of everything, lodge, yurts, cabins, rv spots, gas station, restaurant. RV spots were reasonable level. Bathrooms were clean. They had horseshoes and bean bags in a common area. No picnic tables or fire pits though. RV spots were pretty wide, which was nice
One tip, avoid spot number #17 if possible. The sewer hookup was loose and shared with a long term resident on the other side, also the water spigot was broken so we had to use the spigot for spot #16. #17 is not terrible, but other spots are much better.
LegendThe original owners really take pride in ownership. They have 6 cabins and RV park on 15 acres along the river.
Pros:
*beautifu lush green grass sites with amazing views of the Sawtooth NF
*full hookups
*wifi included
*only $48 including tax
*there is a camp store with beer, ice cream and other basic.
*reading library
*wildlife visits not unusual.
*direct river access for fishing or floating
*natural hot springs flowing into the Salmon just south. Great place for a soak
*6 cabins nestled in the pines.
Cons: *no cell service (have wifi though) *rv sites have no shade *no shower house.

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!

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.
Guide
An absolutely beautiful place to camp. Black lava rock everywhere. No cell service. No hookups but if you have a generator it’s all good to run it during normal non quiet hours. Vault toilets open in winter. Lots of fun hikes within the park. Sites have grills and can be used for RVs or tents. 15 or 7.50 if you are NPS pass holder or senior
RangerThis place was great! $8 because water is off for the season, I guess...normally $20. All facilities are closed so it’s just camping and exploring the park which is all within walking distance of the campground. Very friendly ranger working the front! Level sites on pavement. No fires allowed unless propane or grills. Very windy! Get a spot that has rocks on your west side to hide lol! This place was a great stop for a evening/night! Not a lot to see but what’s there is really cool! A must see if you’re passing thru Idaho down to Utah.

We visited the Stanley area last year just before the solar eclipse and everything in the area was booked or very busy. We came upon Blind Creek and found a nearly empty campground. It was fabulous. My wife wants to live there. Vault toilets, fire rings and picnic tables. Several good spots for RVs and lots of good tent spots. Can make reservations.
Guide
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!

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

Camped in site #15 on Sept 27, 2024. Paid $10 with senior pass. Nothing remarkable about the campground itself, but the trails leading out of the campground are really good. There is access to the Salmon River at the end of the campground road for bank/fly fishing; caught a nice rainbow trout. Sites along the river appear larger than those backing up to the hill. The river side sites are open sky, good for solar recharging and Starlink. The sites across the road have partial shade. There were a few pull-thrus; otherwise, back-ins. Campground is popular for OHV enthusiasts and hikers. Most sites are close to the dusty campground road. Vault toilet was not quite clean, although it was at the end of the summer season. There is a hand water pump. Site 15 is a small, almost level site with a pea gravel surface; it appeared to have a tent pad at the rear. This site has a table and metal fire ring. There is road noise from highway 75 across the river. It was very busy here during our stay, probably because forest service campgrounds west of Stanley were closed due to wildfires. There were a lot of drive-bys on the campground road. Nearby travel trailers with large noisy families kind of ruined the ambiance of this small campground; did not respect quiet hours. Campground probably okay for an overnight stay, fly fishing on the Salmon River or for accessing the trailheads. Overall, I did not enjoy camping here. I did, however, enjoyed hiking and fishing here. I am not likely to camp here again.
LegendLocated right by the entrance station, this campground has 42 sites, with only a select number suitable for large RVs or 5th wheels(although we encountered a large RV coming toward us that necessitated us backing into an empty site)! It was very windy the day we were here but don’t know if that is typical. Flush toilets but no showers; typical of national park campgrounds. No hookups or dump station. Sites are surrounded by lava rocks; some were very nice but others not as much (sites 1-5 are right by (and I mean RIGHT BY) the entrance station). Sites 34, 35, 42, and 3 are fully accessible and site 34 has an electrical outlet for use by those with medical needs. Open April-November, weather dependent but water only available in peak months. Limited to no cell service (Verizon). $15 during peak season (half price for senior pass holders and when there is no water). No fee during April and November if open.

Close sites,share utility access and table with your neighbors, easy access to Ketchum and Sun Valley

Quiet, private campsites. Close to Sun Valley. Place to turn around if unable to fine a campsite. No cell coverage. Only 3 day limit.
Guide
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. The bathroom is far from most sites and no cell service but consequently was not the issue, the views were breathtaking. The creek was accessible. Firewood is easily available if you’re willing to collect it. The roads are a little rough but animals were no concern. We camped in our tent and had a wonderful time, and it was free!
LegendThis 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. It's only a couple hundred yards off the highway, but at night there's hardly any traffic. And it's pretty quiet. There's probably approximately a dozen sites in this loop. We've been there twice, and it's always been quiet and casual, and everybody's been mellow. good spacing between. spacing between sites and privacy. awesome view of Boulder Mountain. If you have binoculars or a telescope, you can oftentimes see the Mountain goats on the higher ridges. It's free camping. Verizon cell Is weak but usable. The Galena Lodge is about 15 minutes up the road. They have great lunches, rental Mountain bikes and plenty of hiking paths. There is a creek just to the east side of the campground. Sun Valley is back down the highway. 75 about 15 minutes drive.
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.

This is a tent only campground(there is nowhere for RVs to turn around, and backing out would be a horrific proposition) with only seven sites. The best sites are the four that are on the creek side of the camp road. There is a vault toilet(not especially clean) and a bear proof dumpster, and lots of signs about bears, but no bear boxes for food storage. The campsites are nicely shaded, but not especially private(you can see most of the sites from each other). This campground is$2 cheaper than the next closest campground(I drove to the other site to check it out and returned here because except for the price, they were about the same). There is a pretty cool avalanche/rock slide up the road that is impressive in size and there are some pretty cool beaver dams and lodges in the creek/marshy area that feeds into the river. Be careful picking a site along the creek as it runs pretty close to the edge of two sites and I suspect the sites get flooded during big rains(due to the beaver dams). Showers are not terribly far away at Redfish Lake Park.
Guide
The first part of the road allows for 3-day max camping, but a little further in, you’ll hit 16-day max stay! The sites further up are away from the others and run along a stream. Still further in, you’ll hit a Y in the road. The right side leads you to a small parking lot with bathrooms and access to a small pond, the left leads you up to more sites. Not too far past the pond, the dirt road is less smooth and has tall grass growing in the middle of the road. I scored a gorgeous site, with a campfire pit already established. The site overlooks the pond, with the Sun Valley Ski Resort seen in the distance and has a gorgeous Mountain View on the opposite side. Absolutely stunning! Plenty of ground squirrels and butterflies and have only seen 2 cars all day.
Legend
We took a chance and scouted a right before the 4th of July weekend and we scored big time. Site #1. Because of the view, we pulled our 30ft class A in instead of backing. We had long range, multi tiered views of the Sawtooth Mtn. The sites are generously spaced with picnic table and fire ring. There is a camp host and firewood is available at their site.. Water is available at the dump station located on the left before you arrive. It services all area NF service campgrounds as well as paid for others not. We had good ATT service 2 and 3 bars. Most of the sites have some shade. There are other disbursed campsites on the main FS road, but we were not disturbed by cars. It is super quiet at night. The night was cool. Lots of hiking , mountain biking and fishing in the immediate area. Ketchum and Sun Valley are 15 min away. The rails to trails multi purpose trail starts just down the road. Super safe place to ride. 30 + miles . We don't want to leave.

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.
Legend
We hightailed it to the area early on a Thursday morning pior to the 4th of July weekend in hopes of finding a spot. We were greeted by the nicest host ever. He apparently loved what he was doing and just wanted to help. He told us to ride through, check out the sights that were open and if we didn't find one that our rig would fit in, he would help us find a spot at one of the other NFS campgrounds in the area. I do get frustrated when I see picky people complain because of road noise, or smelly vault toilets (this one didn't). Generators running. Y'all, this is a NFS campground, and a nice one at that. It is not a resort. Rustic beauty. Best part is when you do want more modern amenities, Ketchum is right down the road. There is a rails to trails multi purpose trailhead not too far down the road. We road our bikes into town, south of town, over to Sun Valley. So many great routes. There is a nice NFS headquarters just down the road that has really nice exhibits. There is hiking in the area. We loved the area so much and can't wait to return. PS....they do have a group area.
LegendReally cute private campground right off I30 near Lava Springs, Idaho
Some highway noise. Very clean sites. Vault toilets, clean and decorated nicely. Really wish they had a bathhouse and place to wash dishes. Firepit. Picnic table with flower pot was really a nice touch. Level, gravel, back in sites. Prices a bit high for just water and electric $40 to $55 They also rent tiny trailers, $55 a night. Lots of tent sites as well. Grass playground. Creek nearby. No camp store but they do sell firewood. Owner Annie, super friendly and accommodating. Refunded two nights since we wanted a shower. Only charged $5. 9/5/19

We stayed here Memorial Day Weekend. This spot is a hidden gem on a busy mountain during a busy weekend. The campground is off the old road right after Smoky Bar, and is along Big Smoky Creek. All weekend the campground was quiet and still had plenty of sites left over. We drove down the road into Featherville and the whole place was packed. It was amazing our campground still had room. We stayed in Sites 4+5, we had plenty of room for a 21' trailer and a 32' motorhome in site 5 and 2 vehicles in site 4
LegendScenic and cool campsite smack in the middle of the lava beds of Craters of the Moon National Monument. Interesting information center within a quick walking distance with lots of national park rangers and activities.
Campsites are pretty small, but many are surrounded by LAVA. That said, very little shade, so if it’s the summer, it will be very hot.
Water, toilets, all available. RVs allowed but no hook-ups. No fire pits, but they do have charcoal grills available.
Very cool lava flow hikes and formations all around.

No hookups but water spigots are scattered about the cg. Very private sites widely spaced out. Level, gravel back in spots with metal picnic tables on concrete pad. Some highway noise but not a problem and quiet at night. Very nice.
TravelerNational Park campground is non/reservable and first come first served. Sites for RV on asphalt. No showers or laundry facilities but there are restrooms. Trails & visitor center within walking distance. Water available but no hook-ups.
TravelerEasy in and out with plenty of room to maneuver with trailers. However the distance to hookups is a bit of a stretch. Bring extra water hose and extension cords for some of the sites. I couldn’t make the water hose reach and still be far enough back to be comfortably parked in our site. Fortunately we had water on board or could have filled up the tank if needed before parking. Road noise is also a factor here. I’d recommend it as a stop and would come back. Playground is also nice for the kids.
