Salmon River Campground
The Salmon River Campground has 2 sections, riverside and the north side of Hwy 75. It is composed of 30 campsites including 1 double-site. The campground is situated amongst lodgepole pines and sagebrush. All sites are first-come, first-serve. The campground allows easy access to numerous hot springs in the area. The town of Stanley is very close, visitors can take an afternoon to visit the fascinating Stanley Museum, which reveals the rich history of the area. This is an excellent site for fishing and hiking as Casiono Creek trailhead is close, leading you to either Little Casino Creek or Big Casino Creek towards the Casino Lakes.
