The campground was perfect and well maintained. The campground is close to Stanley and provides easy access to the recreation opportunities afforded through the Sawtooths. Our campground host, "Frog," was the best we've had.

A lovely campground. The camp host was fantastic. Nice location. The double sites are a little tight (width wise) but workable.

Practically empty due to encroaching forest fire and very smoky, BUT the host was very helpful and pleasant. Been there many times and always enjoyable.

We absolutely loved this campground! It was our first time to Idaho and we will verve back. The host, Cara, was the best camp host we have ever had. She was so kind, helpful, cheery, and you can tell she truly loves her job! We highly recommend this campground. We were in site #28 and it has a great view of the sawtooth mountains!

This is our new favorite camp ground for visiting Redfish Lake and the Lodge. It's separate and more quiet. The tent pad was in great condition and our site was right near the bathroom, but still never heard any noise from others using it. The table and fire ring were great and the camp host was very friendly. I would recommend to everyone!
