Salt river public access

Managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Salt river public access provides free dispersed camping along the Salt River near Star Valley Ranch. This drive-in site features large open camping areas without shade, positioned directly by the water. Campers can bring pets and enjoy campfires while maintaining cell service coverage.

The location presents navigation challenges, with GPS systems reportedly directing visitors into residential neighborhoods rather than the actual camping area. Basic amenities include toilets, and alcohol is permitted on site. The open layout works well for RV camping and groups seeking river access, though the lack of shade may be a consideration during warmer months.

Tried to get here via both Google Maps & and Waze. Both sent us into the middle of a neighborhood of homes. If it had been daytime, we might have had a chance winging it.
