ElevationPerched high in the magnificent Bear River Range, Summit View Campground offers that rare mountain air that fills your lungs with clarity and your spirit with adventure. At this lofty elevation, you'll find yourself closer to the stars and farther from the everyday, where the thin air sharpens your senses and the views stretch endlessly across the Idaho wilderness.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living postcard where towering lodgepole pines create natural cathedral ceilings above your campsite, their straight trunks reaching skyward like nature's columns. In summer, emerald grasses carpet the forest floor while wildflowers paint splashes of purple, yellow, and white across sunny meadows. Come fall, the understory transforms into a forager's paradise as wild huckleberries ripen to perfection, their sweet-tart flavor a reward for those who venture off the beaten path.
Geological RegionThe Bear River Range cradles Summit View Campground in its ancient embrace, a geological masterpiece where millions of years of earth's forces have sculpted dramatic peaks and gentle valleys. These mountains, cloaked in dense lodgepole pine forests, create a diverse ecosystem where meadows burst with seasonal grasses and wildflowers thrive in the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy above.
