About
Salmon River Campground is a 30-site first-come, first-served campground located along the Salmon River in Idaho's Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The campground is divided into two sections: a desirable riverside area and an uphill loop on the north side of Highway 75. Sites are nestled among lodgepole pines and sagebrush, offering a classic high-mountain Idaho camping experience. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, potable water, and picnic tables at each site. Pets are welcome on leash. This is an excellent base for fishing the Salmon River and accessing nearby hot springs. The Casino Creek trailhead is close by, offering routes to Little Casino Creek, Big Casino Creek, and the Casino Lakes. Stanley is just 5 miles away, providing access to supplies, restaurants, and the Stanley Museum. The campground operates on a maximum 10-day stay limit within any 30-day period. Payment can be made on-site via cash or by scanning a QR code through the Recreation.gov mobile app.
