Sunny Gulch campground is a beautiful site; quiet; clean. Restrooms were very, very clean. SG is close to the town of Stanley and Redfish Lake. We visited the ghost town of Custer; Sunbeam Dam; Redfish Lodge; fish hatchery and shops and restaurants in the town of Stanley. The magnificent Sawtooth Mountains were our backdrop...beautiful. Our hosts M.J. and Michael were friendly, fun and informative.

Sunny Gulch had plenty of room between the camping spots. The RV spots were level and in good shape. The restrooms were clean and kept stocked. Traffic noise was not bad and the Salmon river could be heard all night.

We were at the site #36 which is close to the river and it has a lot of shades, and the campground has pretty much everything, I like it.

Campground is usually very busy but our family enjoys it when we can secure a camp spot. This year restrooms were exceptionally clean.
