Overview: Bear Valley Campground is located along Bear Valley Creek which is one of the major headwater streams for the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The campground is well shaded by a stand of lodgepole pine. However, many of the trees in the area are beginning to die due to a mountain pine beetle infestation. Use is moderate to high during the summer months and hunting season, and the campground is often full on weekends. Access to the campground is normally not available until June. There is no trash service, please pack it out!!! (Driveway lengths for RVs are limited. However, two sites will easily accommodate larger RV's and trailers.)
In Stanley, ID, at the intersection of State Rts. 75 and 21, take Rt. 21 west 21.4 miles to Bruce Meadows and Forest Rt. 579 sign. Turn right at sign onto Rt. 579 (gravel) and go 12.4 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
