2900-foot elevation. 18 campsites on the Salmon River. Put-in for floating the Salmon Wild & Scenic River, Class III-IV rapids. Hiking and horse riding trail from campground loops south to Butt Creek Point, then north to Horse Creek Campground, also on the Salmon. Fishing in the river for cutthroat and rainbow trout, steelhead and whitefish. Picnic facilities are accessible. Boat ramp used by jet boaters and river floaters.
In North Fork, ID, at "Shoup 17" sign, turn west onto Forest Rt. 030 (unmarked) and go 46.2 miles to "camping" sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
Absolutely beautiful and worth the drive to the remote location. Cool native American site.
So clean. The checkers are friendly and helpful. Boat ramp is so much bigger than it was.
Breath taking. Old Indian ground there. 47 miles from North Fork on a well maintained gravel road after the pavement ends. The interpretative info on the route needs park service attention. The signs are not legible. Nice the water trucks keep the dust down and the scraper keeps the road smooth.
Absolutely gorgeous! Take the trip all the way down to check this place out. It is beautiful!
