This review was made from the information we observed from our visit on September 9, 2021 and was accurate as of that date.
Trap Creek Campground is located along Hwy 21 NW of Stanley, Idaho, on the edge of a large meadow. This campground is designed to be rented as a group site and can be reserved that way or as an individual. I personally would not camp here, but I have seen people here several times in passing. The forest around it has been burnt recently.
