Nestled at an elevation of 5,508 feet in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Goodenough Creek Campground offers a serene, primitive escape for those looking to reconnect with nature. This BLM-managed site is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who prefer a rugged experience, providing direct access to a vast network of motorized and non-motorized trails that lead into the Caribou-Targhee National Forest.

The campground features 10 developed campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis, with no reservation system in place. Half of the sites are specifically designed for tent camping, while the other half can accommodate both RVs and tents. Basic amenities provided on-site include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each location to ensure a comfortable stay while maintaining the natural feel of the area.
