Challis National Forest's Riverside campground sits along the Salmon River outside Stanley, open July 1 through Labor Day. The layout splits across a highway: only 4 to 5 sites sit directly on the water, while the remaining sites occupy the opposite side of the road. Dumpsters and toilets are available on both sides, and the campground has drinking water and is accessible to big rigs. No pets are permitted. Sites on the river fill first, so arriving late on a weekend likely means taking what's left. Mormon Bend Campground is a short distance southeast for campers who want a different setup.
