Nordheimer Campground

Nordheimer Campground offers 12 primitive campsites with direct access to the Wild and Scenic Salmon River, making it an excellent base for rafting, kayaking, and fishing in a remote Douglas-fir forest setting.

The campground operates first-come, first-served year-round at $8/night with vault toilets but no potable water, and features a narrow, challenging access road (Salmon River Road) requiring careful driving.

Boat trailer access to the river's edge is available for 4x4 vehicles, and an on-site campground host assists visitors during the operating season.
