We had originally planned to stay at the free camping area near Salmon, ID but when we got there it was full, so we ended up staying here. Which ended up being the better choice.
For just $5 a night you get to stay in a nice quiet campground with lots of amenities. There are garbage cans at almost every site, there is a spout with potable water next to the boat ramp and the day-use pavilion, and you are camping right next to the Salmon River.
Just an FYI, the camp host said that although the water is potable, they sometimes have a problem with sand getting into it so make sure you use a filter.
The first three campsites are a little close to each other but the other 4 are fairly spread out and more private, a couple are even pull-throughs. There is a tent campsite next to the boat ramp that is more on its own than the others if you are a car camper, it’s also the closest to the vault toilet.
We were there during the week in the end of August and the campground never filled up even with the rodeo coming to town that weekend.
I highly recommend this campground if you are ever passing through Salmon, ID. It’s definitely worth the low price.

A fairly rowdy group of locals were partying when we pulled in, but we felt completely undisturbed at our peaceful spot on the river on a Sunday night in June. Only two other spots were taken in this small but reasonably spacious campground. Pit toilet clean enough. Beautiful river with an entertaining beaver.

A couple miles down a well graded gravel road means it is a lot less busy the the other campgrounds. If you are lucky enough to get site #4 you will have your front yard filled with a view of the river. Easy trip into Salmon as well.
