Johnson Bar Campground & Group Site

Johnson Bar Campground provides picnic areas, toilet, drinking water, RV/Trailer pads and seven campsites with a reservable group camping spot as well! The picnic area and some campground sites are wheelchair accessible, and there is a nice swimming beach. Rafting in the river is a popular activity in the spring and anglers will enjoy the catch and release fishing in the Selway River.
