What campers say

Easley Campground is a small, scenic primitive site near Ketchum, with roughly ten campsites along the river and easy access to nearby trails and hot springs. Sites have picnic tables, individual fire rings, vault toilets and a hand-pump water source; there are no electrical or water hookups and most spaces are first-come, first-served. Visitors praise the river, mountain views and trail access but note tradeoffs: summer mosquitoes can be intense near slow-moving water or beaver ponds, and some report road or generator noise at night. Rangers recommend securing food as bears have been reported nearby.
