I was there for sleep. But a cute family was next to me and they looked super comfy and settled in. Close to Stanley and Redfish Lodge/lake. I would like to go back.

We had a great time at Sunny Gulch! Loved going down to the river, it was beautiful clear water. Watched an amazing sunrise by the river as the sun lit up the Sawtooths. The site was spacious with lots of room between neighbors. The trees are not as thick as in some of the pictures, there was a down burst wind a few years ago that blew many of them down around this spot.

Great campground, close enough to redfish lake without the crowds. Cleanest drop toilets I've ever seen. There is potable water at the end of site 2 via hand pump. Water was a little cloudy/yellow at first but cleared up with use, host says it's tested and safe, we had no issues. It's a little noisy from time to time with kids playing on the pump and road traffic, nothing terrible.

The campground was great it was close to all the things we wanted to do. Clean bathrooms (vault toilets that were maintain well) an amazing camp host who gave us great information on what places to hike, eat and must see places. She was the best camp host that we have ever come across very friendly and helpful.
