The Salmon River Campground has 2 sections, the riverside and the north side of Hwy 75. It is composed of 30 campsites including 1 double-site. The campground is situated among lodgepole pines and sagebrush. All sites are first-come, first-serve. The campground allows easy access to numerous hot springs in the area. The town of Stanley is very close, visitors can take an afternoon to visit the fascinating Stanley Museum, which reveals the rich history of the area. This is an excellent site for fishing and hiking as the Casino Creek trailhead is close, leading you to either Little Casino Creek or Big Casino Creek towards the Casino Lakes.
In Stanley, ID, at intersection of State Rts. 75 and 21, take Rt. 75 north 4.4 miles to campground sign. Turn left for the north side of campground or turn right for the river or south side of campground.
$16 per night for single-sites including 1 vehicle and $32 per day for double-sites including 2 vehicles. $8 per day for an additional vehicle.
Pets must be on a leash.
Nice campground. Our campsite did not have any trees so during the day it was hard to escape the heat and sun.
Good off the road camping spot. Restrooms were always clean and the area is in really good shape. Will visit again.
Great primative camp site right on the river, which in August when we were there was gently flowing and only a couple feet deep, perfect for an afternoon dip/ wade. Even with the 3 year old, it felt nice and safe. I would recommend water shoes. The rocks are smooth and slippery in the water. The only thing I didnt love was how close to the road many of the sites were.
Great place to camp, close to the water for easy access to fish and plenty of trails to hike.
