About Stanley RV + Camp

Campground in Idaho.

Stanley RV + Camp sits in the heart of Idaho's stunning mountain country, offering RV travelers an authentic gateway to some of the Pacific Northwest's most breathtaking landscapes. This location puts you at the doorstep of the Sawtooth Mountains, where towering peaks, pristine alpine lakes, and dense pine forests create a dramatic backdrop for your camping adventure.

The Stanley area is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels. Whether you're an avid hiker, fishing devotee, or someone who simply wants to breathe in crisp mountain air and disconnect from the daily grind, this region delivers in abundance. The nearby Sawtooth Wilderness offers countless trail options ranging from leisurely day hikes to challenging backcountry expeditions. Popular destinations include hikes around Redfish Lake, where turquoise waters reflect jagged mountain peaks, and numerous high-altitude lakes perfect for both day trips and extended adventures.

For anglers, the area is a paradise. The Salmon River and surrounding alpine lakes are renowned for excellent fishing opportunities throughout the season. Even if fishing isn't your primary interest, simply watching the water and wildlife from scenic overlooks provides peaceful moments to recharge.

Beyond hiking and fishing, Stanley serves as an ideal base for scenic drives, wildlife watching, photography, and simply experiencing the grandeur of Idaho's backcountry. The community itself maintains a charming, laid-back mountain town atmosphere with local restaurants and shops that reflect the area's authentic character and heritage.

This location suits families looking for outdoor education opportunities, couples seeking romantic mountain getaways, retirees exploring the American West, and anyone craving genuine nature immersion away from crowds. The elevation and mountain setting mean cooler temperatures during summer months, making it an excellent escape from heat elsewhere. With a highly-rated guest experience reflected in extensive positive reviews, Stanley RV + Camp serves as your comfortable home base for exploring one of Idaho's most spectacular regions.

A cute little campground in between the mountains. Quiet and well maintained. We loved it there. Easy parking in and out. We are traveling with a 36 ft 5th wheel. Stanley is just minutes away, there you can get everything you will need. To the office: thanks so much for letting us stay two nights on lot 9! (10/10-10/12/25) We will come back!

I have to preface this by saying we aren't campers, but travelers who need to stay at a campground once in a while for logistics and personal maintenance. This park, albeit small and compact was clean, quiet and exceptionally well managed. Bathrooms and showers are impeccable, free coffee in the AM, good beer selection on store (for us beer enthusiasts), great gift shop (owner is a potter), grea...

That gal should be cloned! Just a fantastic find!

One of the only campgrounds in Stanley you can make reservations. Less than 1/2 from the entrance to Stanley lake. About 5 minutes to “downtown” Stanley. Great mountain view. No fire pits in sites but a communal fire pit is available and wood is provided.

This was my third stay at Stanley RV and Basecamp Lodge, but first stay in the Lodge. It was perfect for my needs as I prepared for a 6 day river trip. The room was clean, comfy, and quiet. The shared kitchen is fully equipped and a great way to meet fellow travelers. The shared bathrooms/showers are very clean. I highly recommend Stanley RV and Basecamp Lodge for your visit to Stanley, ID.
