Summit View Campground is located eight miles east of U.S. Highway 30, near Georgetown, Idaho. It is in a forested setting, high in the Bear River Range. Visitors enjoy exploring area trails, including the Great Western Trail, and picking seasonal wild huckleberries.
Summit View sits within the Great Western Trail corridor, which offers excellent hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle riding opportunities. The Harrington Peak trail, a 3.5-mile one-way trail to the summit, begins within the campground.
The campground contains 18 single-family campsites and three group sites. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. An amphitheater is on-site. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are dirt.
The campground is situated in a lodgepole pine forest, where summer grasses and wildflowers are plentiful. During the fall, wild huckleberries can be found in abundance throughout the campground.
From Georgetown, Idaho, turn east on County Road 102. Travel two miles, and turn left on Forest Road 095 (the sign indicates the Left Fork of Georgetown Canyon). Continue about six miles, to the campground.
So well maintained! The outdoor toilets were very clean and didnt have the disgusting odor that is so common! Thank you!
Nice size camper spots to accommodate bigger campers with slide outs..clean bathrooms..water..picnic tables..nicely wooded
We enjoyed our 2 night stay here hiking through lovely forest and identifying the wildflowers. Our hardworking camp host, Tanya, was friendly and helpful. She had a map of the area available and provided good information. Bathrooms were clean. This small campground is host to many ATVs and dirt bikes - if the group sites are full, it could be extremely noisy and chaotic.
Very pretty! Trees everywhere. We reserved camp site #1. This is a pull through, easy enough to fit two trailers in it. Trees on both sides. Plenty of shade. I loved how spaced the camp sites were, we didn't feel like we could hear much of others around us. There were a few group/double sites that were nicely sized. Lots of ATVs going around, but didn't seem overly crazy for 4th of July weekend. The weather changes a lot. Sunny one minute, raining (for five minutes) the next. The temperature was great- can't beat low to mid 70's in July.
Great place to camp but bring an ATV or something because there isn't a whole lot to do in this area otherwise. We camped herd just to try out pulling a camping trailer. It was a great first experience for us. Roads were well maintained. Never saw the camp hosts. We stayed in campsite #19. Not as much shade in this one but it does offer a bit more space between neighbors.
