We recently spent an amazing weekend at Salmon River Resort, and I cannot recommend it enough! This hidden gem offers private sandy beaches that are perfect for fishing and relaxation. The wonderful community area, complete with a fire pit and barbecue, creates a fantastic atmosphere for gathering with friends and family, and there are plenty of picnic tables available. The resort has an abundance of amenities, including kayaks, sand toys, chairs, and umbrellas down by the beach, making it easy to enjoy the water. The camp hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was impressed by how immaculate the campsite is — everything was well-maintained, and our room was spotlessly clean. Listening to the soothing sound of the river and experiencing the serene nature around us, complete with birds singing, made for a perfect weekend to unplug from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, Salmon River Resort is the place to go!

We rented the cabin for the weekend. It is a very comfortable, well built cabin. I highly recommend this resort. We loved being set back against the rushing creek behind the cabin. The cabin was comfortable and maintained a very comfortable temperature. The workmanship in the cabin is awesome. The beach along the Salmon River is fabulous. It was a very relaxing weekend. And, don't forget to check out the Nez Perce Battlefield, and the old highway 95 grade. I also threw in a picture of the most beautiful bridge.

Salmon River Resort is not just a resort, it's a destination! Comfortable bed/room//beautiful scenery! Camp hosts were nice and informative. The resort is in a great location for driving to areas of interest and is right on the Salmon River and has a nice sandy beach area! Bring your ATV and fishing poles. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here.
