Selway Falls Campground
Whitewater boaters running the Class IV stretch from Selway Falls down to Lowell get the most out of this spot. At $8 a night with direct river access, it's a legitimate base camp for that float. Pack all your water and load up on bug spray before leaving Kooskia.
The vault toilets have drawn sharp complaints from multiple reviewers, and there's no potable water on-site. If either of those is a dealbreaker, the 24-mile drive back to Kooskia for supplies will get old fast.
