Small campground on a forested point near Stanley in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Photographers can capture pine-fringed shoreline compositions with Sawtooth peaks as a backdrop, reflective water at dawn, and dark-sky Milky Way shots at night. Accessible by paved/dirt forest roads; seasonal campground fees and vault toilets are typical, reservations recommended in summer. Best light: sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and reflections; late spring–early fall for open water and wildflower
