Just a beautiful area. I love everything about this part of the world and this campground is smack dab in the middle of it all.

This is a great campground. Each site has big space for car for tent. Each site has good distance so you don't worry too much about noise or privacy. The Salmon River is nearby. It is good place for fly fishing or boat here.

Camp host was amazing, pit toilets were very clean, water is available, sites were nicely wooded, and host gives great information to help folks stay in the best place possible. River across the street is lovely to swim in. * note the location is incorrect on google maps. Photo below of correct location (just a short bit east)

Worth Driving 12hts from Los Angeles! No cell service, peaceful and calming. Camp host was great, sites were well spaced.

This place is great. The bathrooms are super clean and there’s water and trash/recycling but otherwise there’s not much out here which is the whole point. Face is the best host of any camp site we’ve ever been at. She went above an beyond to make us comfortable and set us our own perfect space. She has these fabulous ducks that are a threatened variety and the kids and adults alike loved them. Another reviewer mentioned they were loud but aside from them talking to us when we walked up to them we never heard them. Camp sites are well spaced and our 20’ travel trailer fit nicely in several of the sites. We ended up extending our stay night after night because they area had so much to offer. You can gather firewood but don’t forget the bug spray. We will be back to this little oasis.
