The best mountainous camping near Deary

·

In Deary, you’ll find over two dozen spots to pitch a tent or park your camper right in the thick of Idaho’s mountain country. These campsites sit tucked along forested ridgelines, with cool morning air and sweeping pine views you can’t fake. Most places welcome pets, and you’ll have actual toilets—not just a shovel and a prayer. Campfires are a go, so you can wind down with s’mores after a day of fishing, watching elk graze, or slipping into a cold swimming hole. Top picks? Mike and Brenda’s getaway (141 reviews), Harrison Bluffs Campground (54 reviews), and Parkside Mountain Ranch (37 reviews) stand out for their repeat campers and prime locations. Expect to pay around $50 a night, though you can snag a spot for as low as $24 if you’re quick. If your idea of camping means crisp mountain air and a shot at seeing wildlife before breakfast, Deary’s a solid bet.
