Campground Overview
About Box Canyon Campground
Perched on the rim of a dramatic canyon carved by the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, Box Canyon Campground offers a serene escape with prime access to world-class fly fishing and scenic hiking trails.
This intimate campground features 18 well-maintained sites nestled among lodgepole pines and Douglas firs, providing a sense of seclusion while still offering basic amenities. The campground's location strikes an ideal balance between wilderness immersion and convenience, situated just 28 miles south of West Yellowstone and 75 miles north of Idaho Falls.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the campground's proximity to the renowned Box Canyon Trail, a scenic 3-mile loop that follows the canyon rim and offers breathtaking views of the river below. Anglers flock to this area for its exceptional rainbow trout fishing opportunities in the crystal-clear waters of the Henry's Fork. For those seeking a taste of local culture, the charming town of Ashton is just a short 27-mile drive away, offering a glimpse into authentic Idaho small-town life.
Box Canyon Campground serves as an excellent base for weekend getaways or extended vacations, particularly for those looking to explore the greater Yellowstone ecosystem without the crowds. Its reputation among outdoor enthusiasts speaks to its ability to provide a genuine connection with nature in one of Idaho's most picturesque settings.
