Stanley Lake Campground — photo spot in Stanley, ID 83278, USA
Stanley Lake Campground
Alpine lake set beneath the Sawtooth peaks — prime for reflective mountain-and-sky compositions, foreground rock/boulder studies, night skies, and campsite lifestyle shots. Best visited at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and mirror reflections; summer and early fall provide road access (FS campground with fees, limited spots, parking near sites). Weather changes fast—pack layers; mosquitoes can be heavy in early summer. Weekdays and shoulder seasons have fewer campers.
