Our little sxs riding group stayed 3 nights. It was one of our top places that we stayed this summer! Great sites, good staff, friendly people, clean showers and laundry facilities. Views and places to ride are amazing! Ride to pinyon fire guard station! Breathtaking ♥️

We stayed for 6 days and 5 nights. The R.V space was very large and accommodated our 40 ft toy hauler and pick up easily. The cement pad and picnic table made meals outside a breeze. The camp ground was very quiet and relaxing. The little store and restaurant were fantastic and I highly recommend the burger (gluten free bun) and the cold brew milk shake!! My only complaint is that we were traveling with our dogs and the dog areas were covered in star thistle. This made it very challenging to try to take them out to... (do their business). The atv trails that we rode were amazing and seeing the wild horse herd was on my bucket list. We saw an old mining town, prong horn sheep and rode to the top of the highest rode in Idaho (elevation 10,000ft). We found all these places as a result of the staff at the sawmill station showing us all the great trails on the map. The fact that we had to ride our atv's on the highway to access any of the trails was a bit nerve wracking for me (on a 4 wheeler) but for those using side by sides (which can go faster) it was not a concern. All in all I recommend staying at the sawmill station!

A group of us from Michigan spent last week at Sawmill station to camp and ride our SXS’s. The facilities and staff were great. Ross helped us with trail suggestions and maps The riding around Clayton Idaho was incredible. We have rode many different places over the years. Sawmill Station and the area around it is well worth the 28 hour drive for us to get there. I’m sure we will be back in the future and Sawmill Station will be the place we ride out of. Thanks again to Ross and his staff for making this a great vacation.

Sawmill station resort is in a great location to all the trails of your hearts content great Staff and is an amazing base station to happiness. As a grateful, middle-aged husband and father of two young children—ages 7 and 5—our family lives for the outdoors. We recently had the incredible opportunity to rent one of your side-by-sides and explore the beautiful backcountry of Idaho. What may seem like just a machine to some meant the world to us. It allowed us to make priceless memories together in nature—laughing, exploring, and feeling free in a way we haven’t in a long time. This trip came at a significant time in my life. I was recently diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. Since then, I’ve committed to doing everything in my power to take care of my health, listen to my doctors, and focus on living life to the fullest. I’ve already lost 44 pounds in just under four months and am working toward my goal of losing another 40. I’ve adopted a sustainable diet and exercise routine and am staying hopeful and determined. Your machines brought us a sense of normalcy, adventure, and joy that I can’t quite put into words. It was a reminder that there is still so much life to be lived, and that time spent together as a family in the great outdoors is one of the most precious gifts we can have. I hope we’ll have another chance to rent one of your machines again in the future. Until then, I just want to say thank you—for renting machines that do more than just move through terrain. They move people’s spirits and bring families closer together. With sincere gratitude, A grateful husband, father, and outdoor-loving man

The Sawmill Station Resort doesn't feel or have the look of a resort. Should have just been named The Sawmill Station. It does have nice showers and laundry area, but there is zero shade in the rv spaces. Also, we wanted to check out a day early, and they would not give us a refund, saying the reason was they could have rented it to someone else. I would have fully understood that, but we are the one and only rv in the whole park. I don't think think that was an issue.

This is a great place to visit. Beautiful maintained trails in the area. The owner is very helpful and friendly with a strong knowledge of the trail system! The camping is good not much for landscape or shade but there are onsite showers a c-store with fuel. They rent rzr trail machines if you don’t own one! Yes I would recommend this place for recreation .

Great rv place, excellent food, nice little store to compliment what you missed. Sxs rentals also. Small restaurant, with some of the most excellent food. If your looking for a great place to stay and ride this is it. Don't know your way around, they sell maps. And if maps don't work, Ross will line you out on where to go! In the last few days we have rode over 300 miles from this location. So many things to see. Maps that are sold in store are spot on, also on x works great to. Plenty of fishing to be had in upper lakes also and don't forget all the old mine areas that you can still see today. Pretty amazing stuff, every where you go from here!

We stayed at the Sawmill Station over the first week of September 2022. Ross and Natasha were great hosts. They provided a newly remodeled single wide to stay in and we rented the RZR for two days. Ross programed the GPS to provide great views of the Mountains, ranger station, old mines, lakes and Sawtooth forest. We rode over 170 miles on trails and back roads. The food at the Sawmill restaurant was fantastic and we would highly recommend visiting this place if you haven't. We stayed again in September 2023, another great time. Two days of riding the RZR. I highly recommend the trails provided by Ross and the Fish/chips, but you will have to have the milk shake.

We rented one of the single wide trailers.. It was set up very nice and had the rustic log cabin look on the inside. Everything you needed in the kitchen for cooking. Nice comfortable couches in the living room and and soft and cozy beds in the bedroom. The bathroom were set up very nice fresh thick towels and a shower tall enough for 6' person to take a shower. BTW, The toilet paper is just fine! 🤣The place is very affordable as well! Great food to! This is a great place to say whether you are fishing or outriding in a side-by-side. Ross knows just about every trail around here and is a great guide to let you know where to go. Thank you Ross & Natasha. What a great place to stay. Your customer service is awesome, You didn't disappoint! We are looking forward to getting home and booking our next stay!

Lovely unexpected surprise. Huckleberry milkshakes are ooooh so good- and the REAL DEAL. Thake it from a life long huckleberry picker. Great upscale selection in store of unique items and great music! Bathroom stop turned into fun shopping spree. I'll make it a point to stop here anytime I am going through the area!

My husband and I stayed in Clayton for two nights. We ate here and the food was great! The breakfast and burgers were delicious. We decided to book the 9 hour ATV tour to The Ghost town. It was amazing!!! The trails were rocky, steep, we could go fast and sometimes had to go slow. We were up at just under 10,000ft of altitude and the views was breathtaking. It was a great experience, one we will never forget. Can’t wait to come back someday and explore some more.

Got food from the bistro, I’m a vegetarian (don’t come by many here 😂) but the service I had was totally wonderful. They were accommodating to make me a wrap and I had a great conversation with the woman behind the counter, though I never did get her name. Great place. Stop over when you’re in town or just plain make the trip! The views won’t disappoint and there’s plenty to do in the great outdoors!

We originally stopped for gas, because it was a good price. I went into the cute store and was told it was Taco Tuesday. These were the BEST tacos. The ingredients were fresh and the salsa was "killer". I am so glad I went in the store. Very nice people and great food.

Great service and amazing food! My family and I are on a long road trip and happened to stop at the Sawmill Station. So happy we did. We needed dinner and they provide food. We had 5 kids and 3 adults to feed and we ordered 5 orders of chicken straps for the kids and they informed us that the straps were very big and we wouldn't need that much. They were right and I appreciate them saving us some money. Both the man and woman working had great attitudes and the food came out quickly. My wife and I had the chicken sandwich and absolutely loved it! The kids were all happy with their food as well! Great experience!
