Morgan Bar Campground

About

Morgan Bar Campground sits adjacent to the Salmon River with magnificent eastern views of the Beaverhead Mountains. Originally homesteaded by the Morgan family, the site still features a remnant orchard. The 8 campsites accommodate both tents and RVs, with amenities including potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Group facilities, horseshoe pits, bean-bag boards, and a grass volleyball court provide additional recreation options. The campground offers excellent river access for rafting, fishing, tubing, and swimming. A trail winds around a wetland pond and along almost a mile of the Salmon River's west bank, providing outstanding birding and wildlife viewing opportunities. The rock cliffs to the west are popular nesting sites for Canada geese. A campground host is present from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Livestock and firearms are prohibited in the campground. Bear safety measures are required; all food must be stored in approved containers or vehicles.
