Outlet Campground

Outlet Campground is situated in a lodgepole pine forest on Redfish Lake. The Redfish Lake Visitor Center offers area information and interpretive programs along with equestrian stables, a dump station, and boat rentals. 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. 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. 

The campground has 19 sites, including 7 double-sites. All sites accept reservation which can be made at www.recreation.gov or by calling (877)444-6777.
