**Grandjean Campground - This campground is managed by Sawtooth National Forest - Stanley Ranger Station - 208-774-3000.** **It is a first come, first serve basis only. NO RESERVATIONS.** **Because of the proximity of the campground to the Boise National Forest Lowman District, many forest vistors do not know that the Sawtooth National Forest manages the campground. Please refer all calls to the Stanley Ranger Station.** The Idaho Centennial Trail heads south along the Payette River, ultimately reaching a lush alpine paradise filled with lakes. Once in the lake area, you can complete the loop back to Grandjean. Fishing in the South Fork of the Payette. Sawtooth Lodge and swimming pool is one mile away. Natural hot springs 1.5 miles away. Horse trips out of the Sawtooth Lodge. Ten sites for horse campers. Campground is located in an old growth ponderosa pine forest.
From Lowman, ID, take State Rt. 21 east 21.5 miles to Grandjean sign (Forest Rt. 524) at a "chain up area." Turn right at sign onto Rt. 524 (dirt) and go 5.6 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left onto Forest Rt. 824 and go 1.2 miles to campground.
Best kept secret. Old growth Ponderosa trees, jagged peaks of the Sawtooths. Gateway to the Sawtooth wilderness with trails.
I cannot say enough awesome stuff about this campground! Beautiful setting! Beautifully maintained!
The gravel road once you pull off the main highway is a bit long and bumpy, but WELL worth it! There are also hot springs that are not advertised. I would love to go there again and again!
Loved this campground! Way out in nature no service complete beautiful. We took our 3 year old hiking and exploring and he loved it got to skips rock in the river
