Planning Tips

    About Mountain View Campground (Id)

    Escape to Mountain View Campground, where Idaho's untamed wilderness awaits your arrival. This first-come, first-served haven operates on the simple principle of adventure seekers claiming their perfect spot upon arrival. Once you've found your ideal site among the sweeping mountain vistas, secure your stay with a quick QR code scan through the Recreation.gov mobile app. While the digital age meets the great outdoors here, be prepared for nature's own communication system – cellular signals tend to fade as the mountain peaks rise, reminding you that you've truly left the connected world behind.
    Mountain View Campground caters to tent and smaller camping setups, and some first-come-first-served spots are available. RV amenities such as sewer and electric hookups are not mentioned.
