We had an amazing stay and so lucky to enjoy such a beautiful, magical place. So thankful we had the opportunity before the fire!!

Clean and spacious campsite with direct access to the lake shore and beautiful views of the Sawtooth mountains. Conveniently located only 9 miles from the town of Stanley. Campground hosts were very helpful as well.

Out of all the camp grounds I have been to in Idaho, this has to be the best by far. The camp host has made that beautiful camp ground spotless. I have never seen, or smelled cleaner bathrooms anywhere. Theres zero trash, just spotless. It was such a pleasure to be at that camp ground, I can hardly wait to go back. If only all the camp hosts in all the other camp grounds could be half as good as this one, hes the gold standard for sure.

Great view and nice campground

Camp hosts were awesome and loved having lake access!

@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #24

The campsite host was completely disrespectful and made our camping experience horrible, in the middle of the night we decided to pack up and find a new spot.

@KeithB3803481 · Camped on Sep 7, 2023 at Campsite #20

We had a great experience. The camp host. Stephanie, was great. We loved it!

@MattieREB7A9C6 · Camped on Aug 19, 2023 at Campsite #10

Awesome spot with a beautiful view. Camp site for trailers is a little slanted so bring blocks! Flies were a little crazy but awesome place.

@GaryW8456397 · Camped on Aug 11, 2023 at Campsite #18

Campground and host were outstanding! Restrooms were extraordinarily clean all the time. Host followed the rules to ensure that the person making the reservation was indeed camping. This one of the most sought after camp sites in Idaho so ensuring that people don't sell the reservations or allow their friends to use a site when they are not present is big deal. This was my family's second stay and next year we will again be on recreation.gov trying to make it a third!

Great group camp site with access to the lake. Unfortunately, there was significant erosion on one side of the parking which make it difficult to level the camper.

@LeAnaE34088150 · Camped on Aug 8, 2023 at Campsite #15

Beautiful views, amazing campground, cleanest campground bathroom I have ever been in.

@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #12

Stanley Lake Reserve Sites are all awesome, the campgrounds and facilities are kept in great condition and the area is just a special place to experience.

@MarciaC90740D3 · Camped on Jul 5, 2023 at Campsite #7

Toilets and entire campground was spotless! We had a group site and enjoyed being close enough to the water that the kids could make multiple visits to the lake in a day. Beautiful in July. Mosquitoes were sometimes abundant but no surprise there.

@JessicaD400413 · Camped on Jun 28, 2023 at Campsite #18

Absolutely stunning. One of the best campsites I've ever stayed at, hands down. Right next to beautiful Stanley Lake, and site was very private. Very clean, actually somewhat nice-smelling vault toilets, pleasant hosts! Only 20 minutes from Redfish lake and really central to lots of different hikes within Sawtooth NF.

@ErrinLB37689C0 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #14

Campground and bathrooms very clean. Hosts friendly and helpful. Environment stunningly beautiful.

Mosquitoes were bad

@GregB6149905 · Camped on Jul 25, 2022 at Campsite #9

Great place!

@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Jul 25, 2022 at Campsite #12

The camp hosts were the best. Bet Cleanest restrooms we have ever seen, you could eat off the floor, no ordors at all. My truck battery died they were very helpful in getting us going. We also enjoyed the fact of space between campsites. We will be back

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
