::CAMP DETAILS::

The closest coordinates to campground is:
44.2497802, -115.0475853
I will be going up Wednesday night to secure as many spots as I can at the free section of Stanley Lake Campground. I'll have markers on the left side of the road, leading to those spots, which is the turn off right before the paid section- if you've hit the paid section, you've gone too far. 

Hotels:
Will have to check on your own, though, due to the Craft Fair, vacancy is probably low.
