About
Oriole Campground is a quiet, primitive campground tucked along the North Fork Salmon Creek in Washington's Colville National Forest. The campground offers 10 sites total, split between 7 single sites and 3 double sites, making it suitable for small groups or families seeking a peaceful forest retreat. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and tent pad. Amenities are basic: one vault toilet facility and garbage service are provided, but campers must bring their own drinking water as none is available on site. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $10 per night for single sites, with an additional $5 charge for extra vehicles. Stream fishing is available on the creek with a valid Washington fishing license. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and the maximum stay is 14 days. Campfires are permitted only in developed fire pits, and all pets must be kept on a leash. Food and wildlife attractants must be properly stored.
