Sawtooth/Riverside

Overview

Sawtooth/Riverside RV Park offers a front-row seat to some of Idaho's most dramatic and untouched landscapes. Situated directly along the banks of the Salmon River, this park provides a unique blend of essential comforts and rugged natural beauty. It serves as a quiet, welcoming basecamp for those looking to explore the vast Sawtooth National Recreation Area without sacrificing the convenience of full utility hookups in a high-altitude mountain setting.

Location & Surroundings

The park is perfectly positioned at the edge of Stanley, Idaho, a town famous for its jagged peaks and incredibly pristine alpine air. Guests are surrounded by the towering Sawtooth Mountains, which provide a stunning and jagged backdrop for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The immediate proximity to the Upper Salmon River allows for peaceful water views and easy access to the riverbanks, creating a tranquil atmosphere dominated by the soothing sounds of flowing water and rustling pines.

Amenities & Park Features

Despite its remote mountain location, the park is well-equipped for modern RVers seeking reliability. It features full hookup sites that accommodate both 30 and 50-amp electrical needs, alongside essential water and sewer connections. Visitors have access to on-site laundry facilities and clean restrooms with hot showers, which are highly valued after a long day of backcountry exploration. The park also provides wireless internet access, helping travelers stay connected with the outside world while nestled deep within the Idaho wilderness.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Adventure is never far away when staying in the heart of the Sawtooths. Many travelers head to the nearby Redfish Lake for scenic boating, mountain swimming, or hiking the extensive network of surrounding trails. The area is also a premier destination for world-class fly fishing and exhilarating whitewater rafting on the Salmon River. For those seeking a slower pace, the local natural hot springs offer a unique way to soak in the scenery, while the nearby town of Stanley provides charming local eateries and expert mountain outfitters.

Who This Park Is Best For

This park is an ideal match for dedicated outdoor enthusiasts who want a comfortable and reliable home base while exploring the Idaho backcountry. It is particularly well-suited for river lovers and anglers who appreciate being just steps from the water’s edge. Because it offers full hookups in a region where many mountain campgrounds are strictly primitive, it remains a top choice for long-term travelers and families who prefer the reliability of modern RV conveniences amidst a wild, high-altitude landscape.

This lodge offers you the tranquility and serenity you are looking for. Listening to the river right outside your window is magical, and the rooms are well stocked and with comfy beds. The bathrooms have been updated and are outstanding! The staff is warm and welcoming and it is a great place for a cold weather retreat to get away from it all.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The location is absolutely breathtaking. We could hear the river from our room, and the view was peaceful and relaxing. Check in was simple, the beds were very comfortable, and the room was spotless. We can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely gorgeous location and room. Super comfy for sure! We've stayed here multiple times in multiple rooms and have always been impressed. Highly recommended if you're looking for a great place to stay with beautiful views in beautiful Stanley. We are looking forward to our next visit

A clean, quiet place to relax. We attended an October wedding. Views are gorgeous of course, with your back door opening up to a view of the salmon river right over the balcony backdropped by a ranch and mountains. Bathroom and kitchenette were slightly dated, but very clean. Bed linens were fresh and cozy (they spent some money in this department). Bathroom was updated and water was Hot! Staff was cordial and responsive. Parking lot litter free. Would stay here again.

We were there celebrating an anniversary and loved that we could find a dog friendly place. The room felt rustic but had all the amenities and a comfy bed. We fixed a meal in our room the first night since late arrival and that night the star lite sky did not disappoint! Service was great and everyone was so friendly and we loved the gift shop and coffee. Short drives to both lakes with the Sawtooth Mountains made for a close and breathtaking adventure. We will be back!

Like no other Hotel room! Wildlife out the door. Comfy beds. Nice bathroom. Ideal location. Bring food to use in the kitchen. No oven, but there is a stove top and microwave.

Beautiful rooms, location view. Everything was beautiful EXCEPT not being able to sleep or enjoy any peace as we could hear the family residing below us full conversations, along with there 2-3 kids creaming and running, crying, banging on the cabinet drawers while also slamming cabinets open and shut all hours of the night/Morning. Not well insulated if we can hear full conversations. If your looking for a peaceful getaway unfortunately this won’t be the place, good thing we where not at full capacity at this hotel.

Delightful first-time getaway to Redfish Riverside Inn with gorgeous view over the river! Room was very clean and well equipped with kitchenette. Enjoyed rustic theme along with modern updates to spacious king room. Very quiet off season.

Excellent, well kept hotel. We were given a room with a shared deck facing the river. Entire property was clean, up to date, and comfortable. Our visit was during the off season so we found the hotel to be very quiet. Will be back for future visits, really enjoyed our visit!
