Steer Basin Campground

Isolated and tranquil, Steer Basin Campground in the Sawtooth National Forest offers an intimate camping experience with only four sites nestled amidst a picturesque landscape of meadows, forested hills, and unique rock formations. This small, first-come, first-served campground is perfect for campers seeking quiet solitude and natural beauty, without the distractions of modern conveniences.

Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, and clean vault toilets are available on-site. However, there are no RV hookups, which maintains the rustic charm and makes it best suited for tent campers or those with smaller camper vehicles. Visitors will enjoy exploring the surrounding forest, relaxing by a nearby creek, and marveling at the distinctive rock formations.

Located near the Magic Mountain area, the campground sits roughly 30 minutes from the small town of Murtaugh, Idaho, where you can find basic supplies if needed. This setting is ideal for serene weekend getaways or peaceful extended stays, offering an authentic connection to the pristine wilderness of southern Idaho.
