Mountain View Campground

Can a lakeside campground offering serene views, water activities, and access to the breathtaking Sawtooth Mountains be any more inviting? Mountain View Campground, located on the eastern shore of Little Redfish Lake in Idaho’s Sawtooth National Recreation Area, combines natural beauty with convenience for campers seeking tranquility and adventure alike.

This first-come, first-served campground features six well-maintained sites accommodating tents and RVs, each equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and access to drinking water and flush toilets. Its lakeside location provides opportunities for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and photography, while nearby trailheads, such as Alpine Way and Boundary Creek, lead into the majestic Sawtooth and White Cloud Wilderness areas. Motorized watercraft are prohibited, preserving the lake's peaceful ambiance.

Mountain View Campground is only about a 20-minute drive from Stanley, Idaho, a charming mountain town where you can explore local dining and cultural experiences. Just a short hike or drive away, the larger Redfish Lake offers even more recreational opportunities, including boat rentals. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a stopover on a longer journey, this campground offers an idyllic base for exploring the remarkable scenery and outdoor wonders of central Idaho.
