Title: Island park idaho
Post by: 3dvapor on September 05, 2018, 09:14:52 AM: Leaving for island park tomorrow and have been trying for 3 weeks to get a hold of the biologist. Im hoping someone could help me with some logistics of where to camp particularly in unit 61. Was hoping to stay out of the state parks and such im towing a 14 foot trailer behind my toyota. id like to focus on the continental divide but doesnt appear to have many roads. im just trying not to have to unhook my trailer and leave all my gear on the road while i scout for a good location. Any help would be great.

Do you have onxmaps on your phone? You can camp off of any of the national forest service roads for up to 16 days. Onxmaps will show you some good roads into the area and I assume you wont have any trouble finding a good spot to pull out and and park the trailer.
