The campground offers several family sites, many with views of the lake and rugged Mount Heyburn. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Roads and parking spurs throughout the site are paved. Younger visitors love the campground's two playgrounds. Sandy Beach Boat Ramp is less than a mile away and an RV dump station is just over a mile away. Glacier View is in the heart of the beautiful Sawtooth National Recreation Area, where outdoor activities abound. Redfish Lake offers excellent boating, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing for rainbow trout and Kokanee salmon. Little Redfish Lake is just down the road, offering additional fishing and canoeing. The Redfish Lake Visitor Center is within 1/4-mile, offering interpretive activities, evening programs and wildlife, geology and historical exhibits.

What campers say

Glacier View Campground offers striking Sawtooth and Redfish Lake scenery with easy access to the day‑use beach and Redfish Lodge. Campsites are generally clean, well maintained and roomy, with trees between sites and separate tent pads and trailer spaces. Facilities include flushing toilets and potable water; hosts are noted as helpful. The site is a dry campground (no hookups) and most sites aren’t lakeside but are a short walk, bike or drive from the water. Trails for hiking and mountain biking run through the area. It can be busy in peak season, and some visitors reported parking congestion and wildlife activity—secure food accordingly.
