About
Point Campground sits on the western shore of beautiful Redfish Lake at the base of the dramatic Sawtooth Mountain Range, consistently rated as one of the top campgrounds in the country. At 6,500 feet elevation, the campground offers 17 sites: eight walk-in tent sites and eight standard sites that accommodate tents, vans, and small truck campers only. Motorhomes and trailers are prohibited due to the campground's layout and access road. The campground provides flush toilets, drinking water, paved roads and parking spurs, and most sites feature stunning lake views through the lodgepole pines. Fishhook Creek flows near the campground, and summer wildflowers are abundant. A nearby dump station serves the area campgrounds. Temperatures remain cool even in summer, with average highs around 78 degrees and lows dipping to 40 degrees. Redfish Lake offers excellent opportunities for boating, water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow trout and Kokanee salmon. A designated swimming beach and dock are located at the adjacent day-use area, while Sandy Beach Boat Ramp sits across the lake about a mile away. The campground provides access to numerous trailheads including Alpine Way, Fishhook Creek, Redfish Lake Creek, and Bench Lakes trails. The Idaho Centennial Trail passes nearby, and an estimated 750 miles of trails crisscross the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Redfish Lake Lodge offers a restaurant, general store, boat rentals, and lake shuttle service.
