The BLM Shoup Bridge Recreation Site is a small, convenient campground that accommodates both RVs and tents located on the main Salmon River. The site is named after George Shoup, the first Governor of Idaho, who later became a U.S. Senator. The area is shaded with cottonwood trees and is a popular launch site for rafters and anglers. Only hatchery steelhead, identifiable by a clipped adipose fin, can be kept and barbless hooks are required.
south of Salmon, Idaho on Highway 93. Travel south from Salmon on Highway 93 for five miles.
$5/night
Good price, beautiful views. I could see it getting busy on weekends but on a Wednesday night in April it is perfect. There are only 5 camp spots.
$5/day. No frills, just boondocking with a view. Riverside float launch, extra parking, fire pits and grills. Bathrooms onsite as well.
A bit closer to the highway than most campsites, but paved parking and around the tables, green grass and right next to the river. $5 for the night, vault toilets with potable water available. Highway traffic wasn't bad and after being on the bike all day a place to sit and unwind was a great break. Ground wasn't super hard, tent stakes went in with no issues. 4 stars for the noise factor, but cheap, clean, and easy to get into.
Cool little day picnic area also an area for putting in/taking out your boats. Clean public restroom available and there are cute little rabbits that live at the park. Beautiful scenery borders this whole area anywhere you go from here will surely be an adventure!
Dog poop. Everywhere.
We stayed here for one night in early November. There were beautiful leaves on the ground, but those leaves camouflaged the multiple piles of greasy, fresh dog poop left throughout the campground.
What a shame. We won't stay here again.
