The Meadows in Ketchum
The Meadows in Ketchum is just outside the core of Ketchum and offers RV travelers site hookups with 30- or 50-amp electric, water, sewer, cable TV and Wi-Fi. The park abuts the Meadows residential community, where large RVs and pre-fabricated homes make a small enclave of year-round and seasonal residents. Pets are welcome if leashed. The Sawtooth National Forest, where there are hiking and biking trails, is within a 30-minute drive of the campground. Fly fishing is found along the banks of the Wood River, flowing in and around Ketchum.

Federal Gulch Campground
Federal Gulch Campground is part of the Sawtooth National Forest's campground system. Camp and park your RV at one of the available sites and enjoy a remote and peaceful camping experience. There are nine campsites available along the East Fork of the Wood River, letting you wake up to toss a fly into the water and potentially catch trout for breakfast. Your RV needs to be self-contained with gray-water and black-water systems because there are no hookups and connections. Generators are allowed but should be turned off during the posted quiet hours. Check with rangers for current fire bans or restrictions. Pets are allowed.
