Planning Tips

    About Riverside Campground (Id)

    Nestled alongside the pristine waters of the Salmon River, Riverside Campground offers a tranquil escape where the gentle sounds of flowing water provide nature's soundtrack. This charming campground straddles both sides of a quiet road, creating two distinct camping areas that cater to both tent enthusiasts and RV adventurers. Whether you're pitching a tent under the stars or settling in with a trailer up to 25 feet, you'll find your perfect basecamp here. Essential amenities blend seamlessly with the natural setting—two well-maintained outhouses serve the campground, while hand-pumped water stations offer fresh mountain water. Each site features its own fire pit, perfect for evening gatherings and s'mores under the stars. Despite its serene riverside setting, the campground remains conveniently accessible from the nearby highway, making it an ideal stop for travelers exploring the region.
    Riverside Campground offers facilities suitable for both tent campers and RV users, with space for smaller trailers and tents.

    Natural Features and SceneryThe magnificent Salmon River serves as the campground's crown jewel, its crystal-clear waters winding through the landscape and creating a natural playground for visitors. The campground itself presents a harmonious blend of environments—sun-dappled forest groves offer shaded retreats where towering trees provide natural privacy between sites, while open meadow areas invite you to spread out and soak in the expansive views. This thoughtful mix of landscapes means campers can choose their ideal setting: tucked beneath protective canopies of evergreens or positioned in clearings where mountain vistas and river views take center stage. The surrounding forest creates a living backdrop that changes throughout the day, from misty morning light filtering through branches to golden afternoon sunshine illuminating the riverside paths.
