What guests say

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (6 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“The campsite was well maintained and the restroom was clean. Beautiful setting for a group site that is convenient to the Iron Creek Trailhead and the Sawtooth Mountains. ”

Brad R 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“It was really nice to have a campground all to ourselves. The only downside was road traffic noise, but that died down during the night.”

Dee G 4 · Sep 2023 · Recreation.gov

“Our group had a nice time at Trap Creek campground. The area was spacious, and well equipped (i.e., outhouse and water). The views were outstanding and the wildlife quite abundant. ”

Craig R 4 · Aug 2023 · Recreation.gov

About

Trap Creek Campground sits at 6,670 feet on the lower slopes of the Sawtooth Range, where a mixed stand of pines shades a small valley and summer wildflowers sweep the meadow edges. The Forest Service lists this site as having 1 total campsite, configured to accommodate both RVs and tents; historically the location functions as one group-site complex made up of three smaller spurs, and when the group site is not reserved the individual spurs have been used on a first-come, first-served basis. Practical details: the spur road and parking area are paved, vault toilets are provided, and Trap Creek runs nearby there is no mention of hookups or other water or sewer services in the provided information, so plan to bring your own water and self-contained power if needed. Daytime summer temperatures average around 78°F with cool nights near 40°F, so pack layers and expect mountain weather. Recreation in and around Trap Creek leans on the broader resources of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area: the Idaho Centennial Trail passes through the vicinity and the valley contains hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails, while nearby Elk Meadow is a good place for bird and wildlife watching. Anglers will find numerous lakes and streams in the region including the Salmon River and the Westslope cutthroat trout in local waters and Stanley and Redfish Lakes, a short drive away, offer boating, canoeing, kayaking and water-ski opportunities. The campground is accessed from State Highway 21 about 12 miles west of Stanley via Forest Road 540, and seasonal openings, fees and reservation rules can vary; check current Sawtooth National Forest or recreation-area information before you go, especially if you need to reserve the group site.
