Canyon Pines RV Resort in Pollock, Idaho provides level gravel sites with water and electric hookups for RV campers along the scenic Salmon River. This big-rig friendly park features spacious sites with picnic tables and fire pits, plus a well-stocked camp store with beer, wine, and essential supplies. Just 6 miles north in Riggins, Riverside RV Park offers full hookup sites with cable TV and Wi-Fi, though without fire pits. The RV Landing at Carlson Ranch in Riggins provides another option with full hookups including sewer connections. "We struck gold with Canyon Pines - the level gravel sites were surrounded by lush grass, each with a nice picnic table and fire pit," noted one RV camper who appreciated the thoughtfully designed layout.
Seasonal considerations affect RV camping options throughout the region. While Riverside RV Park operates year-round, many parks in the area have limited availability during winter months. Cell service varies significantly - Canyon Pines has no cell reception but offers limited Wi-Fi for basic browsing. Most RV parks in the area accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Dump stations are available at Canyon Pines and Swiftwater RV Park in White Bird, approximately 30 miles north of Pollock. Highway noise can be a factor at some locations, particularly those situated directly off Highway 95, though many travelers report the sound of the nearby Salmon River masks road noise effectively. Navigation to some parks requires careful driving on narrow mountain roads with occasional sharp turns.

Guide⭐ Overall Rating: 3.5 / 5
The campground is in good overall condition with several nice sites along the river, but there isn’t much to do on the property itself. It works well for an overnight stop, but it’s not a destination campground for longer stays.
🏕️ Campground Grounds & Amenities — 4 / 5
• The grounds are well maintained and clean. • Plenty of trash cans, riverfront spots, and ice/firewood available. • Laundry room and a small book exchange are nice touches. • Children’s play area and a horseshoe pit are available, though the pit only had three horseshoes, which made playing a bit awkward.
🔌 Hookups — 3 / 5
• Power and water worked perfectly. • Cable TV did not work, even though it was advertised. • Dump stations are available and easy to access.
🚻 Restrooms — 3.5 / 5
• Clean facilities with plenty of hot water in the showers. • Men’s room is small for a campground with 50 RV sites:• 1 urinal • 1 toilet • 2 showers
📍 Area & Activities — 3 / 5
• Not much to do on-site beyond the basics. • No hiking trails — just an asphalt driveway. • You’ll need a car to reach any local attractions or activities.
👥 Camp Hosts — 4 / 5
• Great communication before arrival via email and text. • Website was easy to use for booking. • Only negative: the female camp host approached us to tell us our outdoor rug couldn’t be on the grass. The request was reasonable, but the delivery was abrupt — no introduction or greeting. Not rude, but not warm either. A simple “Hi, I’m…” would have gone a long way.
🛏️ Who This Campground Is Best For
• Overnight travelers • Road trippers needing a clean, reliable stop • RVers who want riverfront scenery but don’t need on-site activities
🎯 Bottom Line
We’d stay here again for a one‑night stop, but it’s not ideal for a multi‑day stay unless you plan to spend most of your time off‑site.
TravelerThis is a family friendly campground that is convenient to Donnelly and Cascade areas. AT&T 3bars LTE service as well as free wifi make communication and planning easy. Full Hookup sites, some tent sites, trash, showers, laundry, toilets all accessible with site rent. Would definitely stay again when in the area. Clean facilities, family owned.
LegendThis RV Park is a little gem in Riggins, ID. Nestled next to the Little Salmon River, the sound of the river at your campsite is so soothing! The campground itself is narrow with only one row of sites available. It is situated between the Little Salmon River and HWY 95 (Main St.) you don't get much highway noise because Main St. is up high on a cliff which blocks the noise. Each site has a picnic table but no fire pit. It is $30/night and well worth it! Most sites have full hook up with cable TV and Wi-Fi available. This campground makes for a great home base for those that want to fly fish the Little Salmon and Salmon Rivers. You can also walk to downtown Riggins for a bite to eat or do some shopping :-) We had a great view of the Little Salmon River from the rear of our travel trailer. We would DEFINITELY stay at this campground again!
TravelerLovely site along river amenable to big rigs. Fishing access, porta potty, picnic tables, fire rings.
GuidePark at the River is in a beautiful location but it’s a full blown RV park, not a campground. The big rigs are really packed in. The dry camping spots by the river are great until the neighbors run a generator all day long. There are all kinds of amenities within walking distance: stores, restaurants, mini golf, etc.
TravelerThe campground itself is ok. If you get a site down by the water, those are the only ones with picnic tables and fire pits (19, 20, 21, 22, D1, D2, D3, where D = no hookups). Many of the sites with hookups are basically parallel parking spots but they don’t have their own picnic tables or fire pits. There are no tents allowed on the grass in the RV area, they are allowed on the pavement only. Tents are of course welcome on the grass in the tent camping area. There are picnic tables and fire rings in the tent area. Sites 6 and 8 were very sunny and hot. There is river access for swimming, shady areas over by the swimming area, and shady areas with picnic tables in the day use areas. The tent sites appeared to be on a slope. The camp host was THE BEST! She moved us out of a sunny site and had one available with a fire pit and picnic table for our first night. She checked back in frequently and was delightful to visit with. She takes excellent care of her guests and made the whole weekend especially enjoyable. There are docks available for boat parking and additional parking available for boat trailers. The grass is as green as can be and is watered daily which makes it very nice. There are flush toilets and a shower for guests to use as well as some porta potties. Dogs are welcome and must be leashed at all times. There are trash receptacles for waste and the campground was incredibly clean and nice.
TravelerWe enjoyed our off season stay!
Easy back in to our fairly level site.
Unfortunately they had water hookups shut off for winter (after we made our reservation, but before we arrived). So we had to venture back out to the design acted water fill campsite our first morning.
Sites were nice, but very much on top of each other, IMHO. I prefer more privacy for longer stays. Wouldn't want to be there in peak season.
They ask that you don't offload a full black/grey tank at your site, as the septic system can't handle it... in my experience, the dump site may not be able to handle it either. We were after another camper, and it began to overflow as we finished emptying our grey... neither having been completely full.
The picnic table and firepit were at the end of the site, not next to the RV pad/door, as I would've preferred.
A nice nature trail to the lake.
LegendWe came upon this site after passing on the White Bird Recreation Site just north of here - it's so much better and we're so glad we came here. It's an established campground, with maybe 4 or 5 sites, all open, spread out, right on the river. There's a picnic table and fire pit for each site, and a porta potty. Verizon was roaming and AT.T. had great reception. Despite being right off the main road, it was very quiet and you couldn't hear or see traffic since you're lower down on the river. Easy access for big rigs. We stayed here two nights. Ranger came through to check on things, always love to see that.
Beautiful spot. Free! 14 day limit. No trash service, no water other than the river. The campground was nice and clean.
Dispersed camping near Pollock, Idaho offers multiple options for outdoor recreation in the rugged mountain terrain of Idaho County. Located at approximately 2,000 feet elevation in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, this area experiences hot summers and cold winters with moderate rainfall. Seasonal road closures can restrict access to certain camping areas between November and April, particularly on forest service roads above 5,000 feet.
Fishing access points: Lost Valley Reservoir Dispersed Camping Area provides direct lake access with multiple fishing opportunities. "Great fishing, great sights. Plenty of off-road trails," notes Kiwi S., who gave the location a five-star review.
Jet boat tours: Several local operators run guided tours through the rugged canyon terrain. "River Adventures Jet Boat tour of Hells Canyon is worth it!" recommends Nancy C., who stayed at Canyon Pines RV Resort.
Mountain viewpoints: Heaven's Gate Mountain offers spectacular views overlooking the Seven Devils Mountains. As one camper reported, "David (owner of Canyon Pines) pointed us to Heaven's Gate Mtn overlooking the 7 Devils Mtns. GO!!!"
Swimming and water activities: Despite fluctuating water levels, Lost Valley Reservoir remains suitable for swimming through mid-July. "Just came back from my second week long trip in 3 weeks there. Camped right on the water! Very very scenic," reports Larry J. from Lost Valley Reservoir Dispersed Camping Area.
River proximity: Several campgrounds offer sites directly on riverbanks. "We had a huge group and multiple dogs in the group site. Very clean camp area. Extremely reasonable prices... Close to water for playing in," says Easton S. about Lost Valley Reservoir.
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the thoughtful layout at certain rv sites near Pollock, Idaho. "Beautiful park on the river. Sites gravel, but level and well maintained," reports Ron L. about his stay at Canyon Pines RV Resort.
Walkable towns: Some camping locations provide easy access to nearby communities. "You can also walk to downtown Riggins for a bite to eat or do some shopping," notes Ed E., who stayed at Riverside RV Park and valued its proximity to town amenities.
Clean facilities: Sanitation standards vary between locations, but some receive consistently high marks. "The RV Landing at Carlson Ranch was a well-kept and clean RV park. Easily some of the nicest bathrooms and shower facilities I have experienced," writes Brock W.
Water level changes: Reservoir water levels drop significantly in late summer. "The lake is small and as the summer progresses and water is drained from the reservoir, it shrinks. I prefer camping here until about the 1st or 2nd week of August," advises Denise L.
Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires navigating challenging roads. "There is a heck of a drive to get into this place, there's a very winding and steep road to get there and it took us about an hour from White Bird," warns Kelsey G. about Pittsburg Campground.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies dramatically throughout the region. "AT&T 3bars LTE service as well as free wifi make communication and planning easy," reports Jennifer at Chalet RV Park, though many other camping areas have no service.
Fire restrictions: Seasonal burn bans often limit campfires during summer months. "There was a burn restriction in place from July 1st to September 15th according to posted signs," notes one camper at Pittsburg Campground.
Pet considerations: Not all campgrounds welcome pets, and natural hazards exist. "Word of warning to any dog owners; I discovered as soon as we unloaded from the vehicle that there are sticky burs absolutely everywhere on the ground and our furry labradoodle was soon covered with them," cautions Kelsey G.
Swimming safety: Water features present natural risks that require supervision. "The river is several feet down with no fence so not the best space if you have young kids," notes Julie about her stay at Swiftwater RV Park.
Entertainment options: Some campgrounds offer additional activities beyond outdoor recreation. "This wonderful family run campground was lovingly build from the ground up... There is a camp store that has just about everything you might need... There is a lending library for books and a huge DVD library. $2 rental," explains Nancy C.
Indoor amenities: Some RV parks provide facilities beyond basic hookups. "Wow this park is amazing, very well run 10 out of 10 on this one. The indoor pool and spa and steam room made this my favorite park so far on our journey," shares a reviewer of McCall RV Resort - Northfolk Lodge.
Irrigation systems: Automatic sprinkler schedules can disrupt evening activities at certain RV sites near Pollock, Idaho. "Our only complaint was the sprinklers. We like to stay up late however the sprinklers go off once around dinnertime and again around 11pm," notes Brock W.
Site selection strategy: Choosing the right site can significantly impact your experience. "Very relaxing and quiet spot. If you have a smaller camper, find a spot next to the river!" advises Ben E. about Canyon Pines RV Resort.
