Super nice, quiet campground with great views, plentiful firewood available for a good price and a wonderful host! We were going to stayed 2 days and wound up staying a solid week - very convenient location to Stanley for necessities and some good dining as well as various hiking trailheads and riverside hot springs.

Sunny Gulch is beautiful. Our camp host was my favorite so far. They are usually grouchy but she was great to work with. The bathrooms were cleaner than they usually are. The process of finding a site is ridiculous and frustrating. The cost increase is not cool and the cost to reserve the group shelter is terribly expensive.

Camping site was clean. Beautiful view of the mountains from the day use area. Easy walk down to the river. Walking paths through the campground were nice. Some campsites have more trees/privacy/shade than others. Campsites fill up fast. Great location close to everything.

What a lovely campground. The campsites were spacious and beautiful. We were right above the river looking at the Sawtooth Mountains. Stunning! The camp host were beyond welcoming. So kind, thoughtful and helpful. I think their names were Barbara and "Hubby". The vault toilets were very clean and didn't smell and there were lots of them. There was hardly anyone there the week after Memorial Day. We want to come back for sure. We camped in a 17 foot trailer. There was lovely shade and adequate solar. It was near Redfish Lake which is fun to drive to and see the cool lodge. A definite must do is to explore the Custer Ghost Town on Hwy 75 north of Stanley. Its a beautiful drive but 11 miles off the main highway. It was a somewhat rutted dirt road but worth it. Homemade ice cream awaits you at the saloon :-).
