β All Campgrounds
Campsites
There are 9 campsites in Pettit Campground. At site #1 you park on the edge of the road and walk to your table and fire ring. Site #2 through #6 each have a picnic table and fire ring with attached grill. Site #7 has a great view down the valley, while 8 and 9 have a large fire ring with benches located between them. If you need two sites this would be great.

Recreation
Camping, fishing and hiking are the primary activities. This is high country, approximately 6900 feet so you will find alpine forests. This is a great area for "birders". The many trails allow people to get to many spots which would otherwise be unavailable for observation.
Wildlife
Deer are common and one could see bear, elk, wolves, coyotes and many small forest animals as well as many bird species.
Fee Schedule
There was no fee schedule posted. However, I called the forest service and found they charge $8.00 per day per site.
Reservations
This is a first come first serve facility.

Pettit Campground, not to be confused with Pettit Lake Campground, is south of Twin Falls, Idaho, near Magic Mountain Ski Resort. The campground is on a shaded side hill along the road with mountains behind. Every site has mature forest providing shade and privacy. However, some of the sites are close together. I like campsite 7 best. It is located on the bottom end of the campground. It is a bit by itself with a trail leading down the valley and has a great view of the area below.
