About
Holman Creek Campground sits along the scenic Salmon River corridor in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, 28 miles northeast of Stanley on Highway 75. The campground features 10 campsites, including one double-site, nestled at the base of a tree-covered rock slope among lodgepole pines and sagebrush. As a first-come, first-served facility, campers must arrive in person to claim and pay for their sites. The Salmon River provides excellent opportunities for fishing, with abundant trout and steelhead, as well as rafting for those seeking water-based adventure. The campground offers vault toilets and is part of the Salmon River Recreation Complex, which includes several other first-come, first-served campgrounds along this corridor. Payment can be made on-site via fee box or by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, though cellular service may be limited. The campground operates seasonally from Memorial Day through mid-September, with exact dates dependent on weather and snow conditions. Winter closures typically begin in mid-September as snow arrives in this high-elevation area of central Idaho.
