About
Copper Creek/Garfield Campground is a primitive, no-fee campground located in the Sawtooth National Forest's Ketchum Ranger District. The campground features 8 campsites situated in a scenic canyon carved by Copper Creek, offering a rustic camping experience for those seeking solitude in central Idaho's mountains. The campground provides basic amenities including a vault toilet, picnic tables, fire rings, and hitching posts for stock animals, making it suitable for horse camping. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. Fishing opportunities exist in nearby streams, and trails extend north into the Challis National Forest for hiking and backpacking. This is a first-come, first-served campground with no reservations accepted. The site is typically accessible from May through October, with access dependent on snow conditions.
