Camping, fishing, rafting popular July 4 holiday in Salmon River country
Posted in July 3rd, 2010
It’s turning out to be perfect weather this 4th of July weekend along the Little Salmon, Lower Salmon and Salmon Rivers.
Recreational vehicles of all shapes, sizes and models are frequent sights on Idaho Hwy. 95 between White Bird and McCall, Idaho.
One sweet Bureau of Land Management campground is Hammer Creek Recreation Site on the Lower Salmon River.
The developed campground is surrounded by semi-arid mountain peaks. “It is a frequent put-in spot for boating the Lower Salmon River via raft, kayak, jet boat or power boat. It sits about 1.5 miles from Highway 95, near the town of White Bird.”
Fee is $10/night. First come, first serve basis. Dry camping. Drinking water, toilets, fire rings. Year-round use.
BTW. As of today, BLM is seeking a volunteer campground host for this wonderful small campground. The BLM will provide “a fully accessible RV camping spot with water, electricity and sewer. The volunteer would also receive a small stipend to help cover incidental expenses.”
For information about the camp host position, contact Outdoor Recreation Planner Joe O’Neill in Cottonwood at 208-962-3683. Or, click here for details.
