Glacier View Campground
Glacier View Campground is composed of 64 campsites including 9 double-sites on the north shore of Redfish Lake. The campsites accept reservations which can be made by going to www.recreation.gov or by calling (877)444-6777. North Shore Picnic Area is across the road and can be reserved for groups. The campground is situated in a lodgepole pine forest. The Redfish Visitor Center offers area information and interpretive programs. There is a boat ramp at Sandy Beach boat launch on the east shore of the lake. Take a short tour on the interpretive Fishhook Nature Trail or a longer walk west into the beautiful Sawtooth Wilderness to battle wild cutthroat in the alpine lakes. A section of the Idaho Centennial Trail passes near the area. Equestrian stables, a dump station, recreation and boat rentals can be found at Redfish Lake Lodge. Three small playgrounds are provided for children in the campground. Waterskiing, sailing, swimming, wading, canoeing, motorized boating and fishing are all great ways to enjoy the waters.
