Elk Creek Campground

Elk Creek Campground is a small, scenic campground in the Sawtooth National Forest located off Highway 21 in a valley at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountain Range, offering one group site (three smaller sites) with vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and paved road access.

The campground serves as an excellent base for hiking and biking with approximately 750 miles of trails nearby, including the Idaho Centennial Trail, plus access to nearby Elk Meadow for wildlife viewing and proximity to Stanley and Redfish Lakes for fishing and water activities.

First-come, first-served individual sites are available when the group site is not reserved, though reservations must be made in person.
