SAWTOOTH CAMP LOCATION:

Idaho. It is about a 3- hour drive from Boise, 2 hours from Twin
Falls, and 4 hours from the Pocatello and Idaho Falls area.
TRANSPORTATION:
A shuttle bus is available from Jerome and Fairfield to the

SETTING:
This beautiful, secluded site is high in a mountain valley (6000
ft elevation), bordered by the Smokey Mountains on the south and
the Sawtooth Mountains on the north, features Aspen groves, Lodgepole
pine forests and wildflower meadows offering expansive views wherever
you turn. The Sawtooth National Forest surrounds Sawtooth Camp on
three sides and rests along the south fork of the Boise River.
FEATURES:
A camp mountain bike collection offers a unique way to explore the
120-acre camp or the surrounding area. Hiking trailheads are nearby
to many waterfalls, hot springs, and other sites of interest. The
south fork of the Boise River runs through the camp property providing
fishing and water play activities.
FACILITY:
A modern log lodge is at the center of the camp for dining and meeting
spaces. Meals are served cafeteria style. Eleven rustic cabins house
up to 10 people each. The cabins are arranged in two village units
of 5 or 6 cabins, each served by a modern central shower/restroom
facility. If you prefer, your group may make arrangements to do
your own cooking. A self-contained, nicely appointed cabin is available
and ideal for guest speakers. RV and tent spaces are also available.
