Hit the ski slopes and mountain trails of Sun Valley from campgrounds near Ketchum.
Ketchum offers campers easy access to Idaho’s famous Sun Valley ski resorts and mountain trekking areas. In-town campgrounds on Trail Creek provide views of Bald Mountain. Tent and RV campers can enjoy amenities like fire rings, drinking water, BBQ grills, picnic tables, and access to snowy slopes in winter or wildflower-filled meadows in spring. Sawtooth National Forest, 70 miles from Ketchum, is another outdoor haven for campers to go birdwatching for bald eagles, enjoy natural hot springs, and fish in lakes. Camp inside the park in an RV or go tent camping for access to popular trailheads. Nearby private camping areas offer full hookups as well as stunning views of Sun Valley—native deer, antelope, and mountain goats may visit the campsite too. Venture into the piney woods of Boise National Forest, an extension of Sawtooth, for a unique escape. Local campgrounds here provide accommodations for RV camping or tent pop-ups and invite visitors to bring paddleboards and fishing gear to explore the great outdoors.
