This is the main jump off campground for trips launching on the Middle Fork

This Campground is BUSY once the float season begins! Most Middle Fork Of the Salmon River trips camp overnight here before their launches. It can be filled with excited and noisy folks who are celebrating their good fortune in being awarded a permit!

in the fall, after the float season slows down this is a great campground with lots of hikes and fishing close by.
