About
Father and Sons Campground is a free developed campground situated near Cottonwood Ridge in Idaho's Sawtooth National Forest, managed by the Minidoka Ranger District. The campground features 12 individual campsites plus one group site with a combined capacity of approximately 100 people. Sites are suitable for both tent and trailer camping, with gravel spurs provided for vehicle parking. Amenities are basic: vault toilets are available but no potable water, so campers must bring their own water supply. Picnic tables are provided. The area is popular for ATV and mountain bike exploration, and fishing opportunities exist at nearby Big Cottonwood Creek. Access is via Forest Road 500 (Oakley-Rogerson Road), approximately 21 miles west of Oakley, Idaho. Horses are not permitted in the campground, and sites are limited to two vehicles each. The campground operates seasonally, typically from June through September depending on conditions.
