About This Location

Experience primitive camping at Red Top Campground in Idaho. This quiet, USFS-managed site offers basic amenities for tent and car campers year-round.

Red Top Campground offers a true back-to-basics escape for those looking to disconnect in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Managed by the USFS, this primitive site is tucked away northwest of Troy, providing a secluded atmosphere for travelers who prefer a quiet, off-the-grid experience. Because it remains open year-round, it serves as a reliable destination for adventurers seeking peace and solitude in the Idaho wilderness regardless of the season.

The campground is modest in scale, featuring only three designated sites that prioritize natural surroundings over modern conveniences. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table, perfect for evening campfires under the stars. Basic facilities are limited to a vault toilet, ensuring that the focus remains on the rugged beauty of the terrain rather than developed comforts.

This location is best suited for tent campers and those enjoying car camping who are self-sufficient and comfortable with a primitive setup. Given the limited infrastructure and lack of hookups, it is an ideal spot for those who enjoy a minimalist lifestyle while exploring the vast landscapes of the Idaho region.
