Tower Rock Campground

Steeped in history, Tower Rock Campground offers a unique opportunity to camp where the Lewis and Clark Expedition once rested. Situated directly along the main Salmon River, this BLM-managed site provides a serene and rugged escape into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The terrain is defined by the dramatic river corridor, making it an ideal destination for those who appreciate primitive, off-the-grid experiences surrounded by natural beauty.

The campground is well-suited for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly anglers and river rafters looking for direct water access. Facilities are intentionally rustic to maintain the natural landscape, featuring vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. While there are no utility hookups, the site accommodates both tent and RV campers seeking a quiet basecamp for exploring the surrounding motorized and non-motorized trails.

Whether you are planning a day of world-class steelhead and trout fishing, embarking on a scenic drive, or simply enjoying the local wildlife, Tower Rock serves as a perfect stopping point. It is a fantastic choice for self-sufficient campers who value peaceful river views and proximity to Idaho’s pristine wilderness.
