About
Wood River Campground sits on the banks of the Big Wood River at 6,400 feet elevation in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, just 10 miles north of Ketchum, Idaho. The campground features 30 first-come, first-served campsites including one double site, all set in a heavily forested area divided by the beautiful Big Wood River. A group overnight area within the campground can accommodate up to 150 people and is available by reservation through Recreation.gov. Visitors enjoy excellent fly-fishing for rainbow, brown, and brook trout, as well as float tubing on the Big Wood River. Trails in Northfork Canyon provide access to Amber Lakes, Window Lake, and the Hemingway-Boulder Wilderness Area. A self-guided nature trail begins near the amphitheater and leads to a small cave and beaver pond. The campground includes an amphitheater available for group events and ranger programs. With Ketchum nearby for supplies and services, Wood River Campground offers a convenient base for exploring the Sawtooth National Recreation Area while enjoying riverside camping surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery.
