About
Grandjean Campground is a scenic first-come, first-served campground composed of 31 sites nestled in an old-growth ponderosa pine forest near the border of the Sawtooth Wilderness and Boise National Forest. Ten sites are specifically designated for horse campers, making this an excellent basecamp for equestrian adventures into the wilderness. The Idaho Centennial Trail heads south along the Payette River from here, ultimately reaching a lush alpine paradise filled with alpine lakes. Hikers can complete a loop back to Grandjean. Natural hot springs are accessible 1.5 miles from the campground, and Sawtooth Lodge is just one mile away, offering horse trips into the wilderness. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water, and picnic tables at each site. Campers must pack out all trash. The campground operates on a 10-day occupancy limit within any 30-day period within a 30-mile radius, and campers must occupy their site the first night and cannot be absent for more than 24 hours.
Directions
From Stanley, go 35 miles northwest and south on ID 21, then 7 miles east on Forest Road #524. Turn left on Forest Road #824 at Sawtooth Lodge.
