Nordheimer is in the heart of the Salmon River whitewater area. Rafting activities begin in the spring and continue until the water levels drop in early summer. Remnants from historic mining operations can still be seen in this remote but beautiful camping area. A few fruit trees remain from past homesteading activities. Nordheimer is a must for those seeking beauty and seclusion. Boat access to the rivers edge is available at Nordheimer with 4x4 vehicles. The campground offers spacious and secluded sites.
Located on Salmon River Road 14 miles east of Highway 96, at the 900 foot elevation.
We had the private site for a week for my son's 31 birthday and it was incredible. We were able to have all of his friends camp with us while they had time off from work. On any given day we had around 25 campers with their kids and dogs. We were separated from the main campground by a small stream and had a gate we could have locked had we wanted to. We were also able to make noise without disturbing others. It is a somewhat primitive campground, no water and vault toilets, but that's how we roll!
