Chaparral Campground - Sawtooth National Forest

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sawtooth National Forest's Chaparral Campground sits along a river corridor near Featherville, operating under US Forest Service management from May through September. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and toilet facilities, with ADA accessibility and trash service on-site. Reservations are available, which matters here: summer weekends draw heavy use, and dispersed sites and nearby campgrounds along the river have been known to fill completely by Friday evening. Pets are welcome. Those planning a route through the area, including cyclists on Adventure Cycling's Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route, will find camp hosts on-site who have proven helpful to arriving travelers. For more options in the region, campgrounds around Sawtooth National Forest give a broader picture of what's available nearby. Book ahead if arriving on a summer weekend.

Campground is open and fees will be charged until October 31st.

Camp Hosts are your best resource

While doing Adventure Cycling's Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route, my buddy and I came into Featherville pooped and worn out from the Phifer Creek hill. It was summer Friday evening. The only motel was full. Every dispersed camping site was chock full of RVs. The campgrounds along the river were all full. Finally, we saw the camp hosts at Chaparral. They took pity on us and helped in a myriad of ways. 3 Cheers for camp hosts Amy and Paul!
