The Sawtooth Monkey is a fictional character who lives in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho, this creature is a crossbreed of a salmon and baby Bigfoot.

Baby Bigfoot had no where to go but the river, he was saved by a school of salmon who by Deus ex machina and the Idaho river God, Beeraspirits transformed Bigfoot and the Alpha 15 pound papa salmon into the Sawtooth Monkey. When SM hit puberty he developed a skin condition and an appetite for coconuts.

This cite is very conveniently located for a lot of great hikes and hot springs right on the edge of the sawtooths. However, the site was less than 20 feet from highway 21- a majorly traveled road with a lot of vehicle traffic all night. When we got here the cite was extremely dirty, with plastic cups, paper towels, and random other pieces of trash thrown around. I assume this was left by some not so respectful campers before us, but should have been checked by the host prior to our arrival. We were also disappointed by the lack of easy river access. To get to the river, which is down a very steep cliff, you generally have to walk/drive down the road to the trailhead and go down on the other side. The river is beautiful and views from camp are nice, but overall disappointing for this price.

Sawtooth Soul - loved our stay!

Thank you Anne - great site! Loved the location & the bathroom was super clean and water easily accessible to refill our van. To be able to take our morning coffee down and sit by the river in the sunshine was magical. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling this way!

It was a well kept, clean site. Anne, the host, was great about directions and where everything was located on the site. It was quite a challenge to get to the river, but all in all it was a wonderful place.
