Fiddle Creek Recreation Site

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing the Salmon River draws anglers to Fiddle Creek Recreation Site, a free BLM dispersed site along the highway corridor north of campgrounds around Riggins. The site sits directly on the river, with drive-in access from the highway making it a workable last-minute stop. RVs up to 35 feet are accommodated, though the second pullout runs tight for longer trailers. Pull into the first turnout if you're hauling anything over 25 feet. Pets are welcome, campfires are allowed, and the site meets ADA accessibility standards. Nearby, Lucile Recreation Site offers another BLM option a few miles up the road.

Nice Spot

My husband and I were looking for a quick spot to camp and found this right off the highway, it was perfect for a last minute camping. There’s a few more spots off the highway. We loved that it was right on the river, too. Pretty easy access, but if you have a longer trailer than I would suggest going in the first turn out, because the second one is tight.
