Camping at North Fork (Id) near Ketchum

Public campground · Ketchum · 28 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation centers on the river and the 20-mile Harriman Trail that passes the campground: fly-fishing for rainbow, brown and brook trout is common on the Big Wood, and float tubing is a popular way to spend an afternoon. The Harriman Trail provides a straightforward route for hiking and biking, with spur trails leading into deep canyons, to alpine lakes, swimming holes and high-country fishing spots; wildlife viewing and picnicking are easy from camp among the aspen stands and scattered pines.

How far ahead to book North Fork (Id)

For September weekends, book about 182 days ahead. Three in four September Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 126 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,807 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
