Our Take
What makes Morgan Bar Campground special
Morgan Bar Campground sits right alongside the legendary Salmon River, Idaho's famed River of No Return, and delivers the kind of river-canyon experience that stays with you long after you break camp. With 16 sites, a boat ramp, and group facilities, it is equally welcoming to families hauling a travel trailer, rafting parties gearing up for a float, and solo travelers chasing solitude on the water. The campground's RV-friendly layout makes it easy to set up a comfortable base, while the adjacent boat ramp provides direct access to one of the most storied whitewater and fishing rivers in the West. Steelhead and chinook salmon draw anglers from across the country, and the float through this canyon corridor is nothing short of spectacular, with towering rock walls, sandy beaches, and rapids that range from playful to pulse-quickening. Back on shore, the surrounding Salmon-Challis National Forest opens up miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Evenings bring a welcome quiet, broken only by the river's steady voice and the crackle of your campfire. Morgan Bar is a campground built for adventure but perfectly suited for rest, a launching pad and a landing pad all in one.
