Wahlstrom Hollow (Dispersed)

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Wahlstrom Hollow sits along a creek road cutting through the South Hills of Idaho, within Sawtooth National Forest. The area is free to use with no amenities whatsoever, so campers should handle restroom needs at a developed site beforehand. Space is tight, with room for two or three rigs at most, and two of those spots require high-clearance vehicles. Shade is heavy throughout, but flat ground for tent camping is hard to find. The site sits adjacent to a hiking trail that also serves as a snowshoe and backcountry ski route in winter, making it a reasonable base for those activities. Third Fork Campground is just up the road and provides developed facilities for those who need them.

More Shady Camping Right by the Namesake Trailhead

This was a really really small camping area that's located along the creek road going through the south hills of Idaho.  There are absolutely no amenities here however so take care of business at one of the more developed campgrounds along the road!  It had wonderful shade everywhere but there wasn't any flat ground to be able to lay out a tent.  There were also only 2 maybe 3 campgrounds if you squeezed it in and it required a high clearance vehicle to get to 2 of them.  Good thing is if you get these sites you will have no one around you and personal access to a great hiking trail and in the winter snowshoeing back country skiing trail!
