Curlew Campground

Located just seven miles north of Snowville, Utah, and fewer than 10 miles south of Holbrook, Idaho, Curlew Campground offers an immersive experience amidst an open desert landscape dotted with sagebrush and very few trees. This campground is distinct for its proximity to Stone Reservoir, which provides opportunities for fishing (though currently closed to motorized watercraft due to invasive species) and offers a serene setting for birdwatching, with species like Sage Thrasher and Ferruginous Hawk frequently spotted. Its sites are equipped with essentials such as picnic tables, grills, and small shelters for shade, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat in a natural environment.

Curlew Campground sits within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, close to the Curlew National Grassland, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities. The area is crisscrossed by numerous off-road vehicle trails, making it ideal for ATV enthusiasts, and horseback riding is allowed on the open range. The nearby town of Holbrook, Idaho, provides easy access to local amenities, while the larger town of Malad City is a bit further away, offering additional services.

For those planning their trip type, Curlew Campground lends itself well to weekend getaways or stopovers, providing a chance to connect with nature through birdwatching, hiking, and exploring the surrounding desert landscape. It offers a genuine opportunity to engage with local natural beauty and culture, making it an appealing choice for those seeking an authentic outdoor experience.
