We are so thankful to have happened upon this magical place. We camped at one of the 10 RV full hook up sites (all back in except for 1 pull through) which was level, grassy (green no weeds or cheat grass), lots of space between sites and had a picturesque view. The sites can accommodate all rig sizes. No cell service however our Starlink worked amazing. The owner is friendly and welcoming. You are guided to your site so you are set up just right. Very quiet and relaxing, great water pressure, about 25 minutes from Stanley and 10 minutes to Clayton (best place to get gas and they have diesel). Relaxing, special and one of a kind. We will be back!

Beautiful...loved our stay here. Service was great and such a peaceful spot. Sitting back, lots of animals walking along the river. Highly recommend, reserve a view spot if necessary!

Karen Ponton
They were great! Did not stay but assisted us with parking the car after I blew out a tire after hitting a rock! Beautiful area.

This trip to Torreys was my 4th trip here. We have logged over 100,000 miles in our motorhome which is a Class A gas coach. In many rv parks,as you enter and check in ,there are many signs that say a whole lot of donts as well as warnings. These signs are unwelcoming to guests. This park has none. The spaces are very large and a good distance from your neighbor. It is in a beautiful setting with the Salmon River right below the park. Ana and Robert are great and they work very hard all day long. This is one of my favorite parks.

We stayed in the RV Park for 6 nights to visit the Sawtooth Mountains and this quickly became our favorite full hook-up campsite we've ever had. There's no cell service and wifi was limited, which is perfect to disconnect! Loved our time away. Beautiful setting and incredible scenery!
Bruce Venable
The owners are extremely friendly and nice. Even though there are only 10 campsites, the setting is incredibly beautiful with the river flowing at the back of the campsites on the one side. Campground is very quiet even though it is situated by a highway since there is not much traffic on the highway and the river below makes a nice calming sound. Highly recommend this campground for anyone looking for full hookups in an peaceful and beautiful setting. If rain is forecasted during your stay, be aware that your camper will get dirty along the bottom but that's a small price to pay for a beautiful campsites!
