There are so many campgrounds in Sawtooth National Forest. We were originally hoping to get a site in one of the campgrounds right along Redfish Lake. We weren’t able to get one of these in advance, but we were able to grab a site at Sunny Gulch Campground across the highway from Redfish Lake.
I’m so glad we ended up at Sunny Gulch. Most of the campground is first-come-first-served, but we were able to grab one of a handful of reservable sites when it was released six months out. Our site was spacious and had great mountain views! There was also a large creek that ran right outside the campground. It was a very picturesque location with easy access to Redfish Lake and the Stanley area. It is in a valley, so we didn’t have quite as much direct sunlight for our roof-top solar panels, but we didn’t run short of battery power for the three nights we were there.
We happened to be at Sunny Gulch Campground during the height of the Perseids Meteor shower. We got some great Milky Way photos. This was my first time dabbling in astrophotography. I took A LOT of photos, but I finally ended up with a few that I was happy with! I hope to do more in the future.
