From Ketchum, take Highway 75 north for 14.1 miles. Turn onto Forest Road 160 at the sign for Easley Campground.
Easley Campground is situated in groves of cottonwood and aspen and is composed of 10 campsites including 2 double-sites which can be reserved at www.recreation.gov or by calling (877)444-6777.
We booked our camp site here, because it was the only one in the area that was available when we were making our reservations. We were very impressed by the camp site, the site was definitely a great site.
It was nice to be close to Ketchum so we could run into town if we needed anything, we did want some ice cream and so that was great. There are some hot springs that our privately operated just up the hill from the camp. We used that to take showers. There are no water or electrical hookups, i.e. this is a primitive camp site. The only bad part about the primitive camping is that people bring their generators, and so you can hear the generators background noise.
10 site campground with individual fire pits and picnic tables at each site. Parallels the road so you still hear traffic noise at night. A stream runs along the other side with a great gravel bike path. Would have loved to explore further down the trail as well as experienced the nearby hot springs but didn't have time this trip.
Stayed here a night in May 2003. Campground wasn't open, and i didn't know it, but the campground attendant kindly refused payment the next morning. Great location near Ketchum.
Nice spot, no reservation makes it treaky but all campground around there are like that. Try boondocking if you can't find a place.
