North Fork Salmon Creek, Colville National Forest, Washington
Tent campers or small RVs who can arrive Friday morning will find a quiet, well-priced base camp. The fall sweet spot runs September through mid-October: daytime temps in the 50s, cottonwood color along the creek, and only 11 sites to compete for after Labor Day clears out.
No potable water on-site is a real logistics problem if you forget to bring enough from Conconully. The irregular dirt-and-rock aprons also frustrate larger rigs, and first-come-first-served means a weekend drive-up with no backup plan is a gamble.

Fall delivers the best conditions. September and early October see daytime highs of 45–65°F and nights that drop to 25–40°F, so bring layers. The maples and cottonwoods turn color along the creek, crowds disappear after Labor Day, and trout fishing improves as fish move to cooler pockets. The campground closes in October. Winter brings frequent snow and cold temperatures. Summer is pleasant but more crowded.
