Best RV Parks & Resorts near Riggins, ID

Riverside RV Park and The RV Landing at Carlson Ranch provide full hookup RV sites near the Salmon River in Riggins. Both parks accommodate travel trailers and motorhomes on level sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Riverside offers cable TV and WiFi service on narrow sites arranged in a single row between Highway 95 and the Little Salmon River. "We had a great view of the Little Salmon River from the rear of our travel trailer," noted one visitor. Canyon Pines RV Resort, located in nearby Pollock, features gravel sites with picnic tables and fire rings surrounded by grass areas, while Swiftwater RV Park in White Bird provides spacious sites with full hookups approximately 30 miles north of Riggins.

Several RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though facilities like shower buildings may close during winter months. Dump stations are available at Canyon Pines and Swiftwater for guests departing the area. Verizon cell service varies significantly throughout the river canyon, with stronger signals in Riggins proper and spotty coverage in outlying areas. During summer rafting season, advance reservations are strongly recommended as sites fill quickly. A camper noted: "The location is nice and quiet, away from traffic," though highway noise can be noticeable at parks situated directly along Highway 95. Most parks welcome pets and some offer on-site stores with camping supplies, firewood, and basic groceries.

    Riverside RV Park

    RV Paradise in Riggins, ID Next to the Little Salmon

    This 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!

    Bear Den RV Resort

    Well maintained , friendly staff

    Campground is located a mile outside of town. Friendly staff and nicely maintained campground. There are a few small trees but mostly in the sun. Sites are close together. Big rig friendly and mostly pull through sites.

    Chalet RV Park

    Good place!

    This 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.

    Park At The River

    Beautiful spot but not really camping

    Park 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.

    Wallowa Lake State Park Campground

    Great Fall Retreat

    We 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.

    Shorts Bar Recreation Site

    Nice Camping Beaches near Great Fishing on the Salmon River!

    This spot is for tent campers and maybe some pop-up trailers. It is dry camping and they do have some restrooms in the area. Nice sandy beaches for those that want to relax near the roaring sound of the river. Great salmon and smallmouth fishing upstream or downstream. Downstream is the confluence of the Salmon River and the Little Salmon River near the town of Riggins, ID. There is an Elk Farm on the other side of the road up the hill from the campsites. During the rut season (fall) you can hear their bugles echo through the canyon. If you are an experienced paddler, you can kayak this stretch of the Salmon River. Just be careful of the fishing boats that can sometimes cruise through this stretch at high speeds. Some parts of the season, the campsites can fill up. It is first come, first serve. Pack out what you pack in and keep the site clean :-)

    Pealy Loop Recreation Site Dispersed

    Great and free

    We 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.

    Swiftwater RV Park

    Nice location on the Snake River

    We spent 2 nights here in late April so we nearly had the place to ourselves. Bill & Pam are very nice folks. Very laid back, helpful, and accommodating. We had a crew of 7 tents and 3 vehicles. We pretty much took over the Gazebo which had lighting, a big central fire pit, and lots of camp chairs.

    The flush toilets each had a shower and there were several coin op washers and dryers.

    The biggest surpprise was the WiFI was very good. Strong signal throughout the small RV / camping area. We essentially had only extended service with our Verizon cell service. One of the crew had AT&T with the same.
