Island Bar Campground Access
Island Bar Campground Access
Island Bar Recreation Site is a primitive BLM campground located 4. 8 miles east of Riggins on the Lower Salmon River, featuring a boat launch and serving as a popular put-in spot for rafting, kayaking, and jet boating.
The site offers three campsites with picnic tables and fire grills, vault toilets, and access to large sandy beaches, though visitors must bring their own water and portable toilet systems.
The paved entrance road transitions to a bumpy river rock surface for the final 300 yards, requiring careful navigation for RVs with a 20-foot maximum length limit.
