Scout Mountain Campground in the United States

We arrived at the campground on a Sunday evening and had many options to pick from. The camp hosts welcomed us and where a blast to talk too. Camp spots and nice large and level parking. Beautiful fire rings, camp squares and very well maintained grounds. Had a 2 bars of T-Mobile 5G as well.

Recommended by a local at a restaurant, this place is amazing. Quiet, secluded, but still near others. No issues finding a spot to sleep at 9pm on a Saturday. The conifer trees are amazing. Would definitely stay here a couple nights if we weren’t just passing thru to MT.

We stayed 2 nights (early July) at Scout Mountain Campground because we had heard that the birding (bird watching) was incredible at the campground and other nearby areas. We were not disappointed. We took our 32-foot Class C motorhome, pulling a Ford Escape, up the winding paved hill road to the camp. There were only two pull-through spots available and these were first-come. Spot #9 was the flattest and easiest to get into and was very secluded. There were no hook-ups. The site did include an extra area with a bar-be-que, cement fire ring, and a well-built picnic table. The nearest pit toilet was a walk up the hill, and water was a camping space away. This was fine with us as we were self-contained and were able to use the water when needed. We very much liked this spot and birding in our camp included Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, Calliope Hummingbirds, a pair of nesting American Robins with two hungry chicks, warblers, and there were also many pretty butterflies. The only downsides of the campground is that the brush and tree branches need to be trimmed away from the access roads and pull-ins/throughs. Tall motorhomes and trailers hit the branches and brush and could do damage to the paint. Also, we had spotty cell coverage.

If you like trees, this is the place for you. No road noise, because it is near the top of a mountain. While I did see a couple of 5th wheels there, it is a steep and winding road leading to the campground, with tight curves. No drop-offs though, except a few easy ones. There are some quite long sites if you need one. Good cell service.

Spent two nights at this lovely little campground. Fairly easy access from I-15 . It was a good location for a day trip to Craters of the Moon National Monument, and Pocatello is home to some good local breweries. It was quiet the two nights we were here, and the dark sky afforded for some beautiful stars while out by the campfire. No hook-ups here, and campground has vault toilets, but they were clean. There is water available throughout the campground. Our site was a nice pull-thru, and was fairly private. The campground is in a beautiful forest setting. Definitely will stay here again when traveling through the area.
