About This Location

Experience primitive camping at O'Hara Saddle. This USFS site offers a scenic meadow-edge setting perfect for tent and car campers seeking a remote getaway.

Perched on an open ridge top at the edge of a mountain meadow, O'Hara Saddle Campground offers a rugged and tranquil escape within the Rocky Mountains. This federal site managed by the USFS provides a unique vantage point for those looking to immerse themselves in Idaho's high-country wilderness. Its open, elevated position makes it an ideal spot for visitors who enjoy a primitive, off-the-grid experience away from the bustle of developed parks.

The campground is modest in its offerings, featuring two designated camp pads and fire rings for evening gatherings. Please note that there are currently no toilet facilities available on-site, so visitors should come prepared for self-sufficient camping. Because the site is primitive, it is best suited for tent campers or those equipped for car camping who do not require utility hookups.

This location is particularly popular among OHV enthusiasts who use the grounds as a convenient basecamp to access nearby trails. While it sees its heaviest activity during the big game hunting season, the site remains open year-round for those seeking a quiet retreat in the Idaho backcountry.
