Nice trees near river

Beautiful grass in most of the spots. Fire rings, bathrooms near by. We have a 26 ft TT and this was perfect right off highway. Only stayed one day due to it being a little warm and we were heading up north. Did have shade and it cooled off at night . Lots of room for our dogs to run by site without bothering others.

Great view

Great view of the mountains and plenty of sites. Wasn’t too busy but others were around. There were bathrooms and some sites had fire rings. 93 is close so there is some mild highway noise but nothing unbearable. Bathroom was reasonably clean and stocked with toilet paper. I had full bars with Verizon (the cell tower was within line of sight) but my friend with t-mobile had no service whatsoever. Overall a nice inviting site.

Nice place near river

This is a nice and convenient place to stop. Right along the Salmon river. RT. 93 is close so some traffic noise. Vault toilets. No dump or water. Lots of sites to the left and right after crossing the bridge.
