Nice spots by the river.

Had LOTS of spots right next to the river . Some close to bathrooms. Water available at. Orth entrance. Free but asks for a donation.

Middle of nowhere spot

This is a decent spot if you need a place to stop in between Idaho Falls and salmon. Nice and quiet middle of nowhere spot for a middle of nowhere drive. There are a ton of other campsites and sleeping opportunities along the highway north of here that are part of the birch recreation zone.
