Pine Bar Recreation Site

Pine Bar Recreation Site offers a rugged and scenic escape along the banks of the Lower Salmon River in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This primitive BLM campground is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, serving as a popular put-in point for those embarking on river floating excursions. The site is defined by its expansive sandy beaches, which provide a beautiful setting for swimming, picnicking, and relaxing by the water's edge.

As a primitive site, Pine Bar is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a back-to-basics experience. While there are no utility hookups available, the site provides direct access to the river, making it an ideal base camp for anglers and those looking to explore the surrounding river corridor. Visitors can enjoy fishing directly from the shore or launching a boat from the on-site boat ramp to further explore the river.

This location is part of a larger network of BLM recreation sites along the Lower Salmon River, offering a quiet, year-round destination for tent and RV campers alike. It is a perfect spot for those who prefer a natural, unmanicured environment over developed park settings.
