This campground was perfect for our small gathering of families. The privacy and open space was loved by the kids and who doesn’t like their own private section of river!? The campsite was very clean and the surrounding forest is healthy!!! There were a lot of ants but they kept to themselves.

It would be nice to have NEW TABLES for the price you pay.

Dear Forest Service/Campground Management,
I'm reaching out regarding a recurring concern at Salmon Cove Campground. Over the past several camping seasons, I’ve noticed an increasing number of people ignoring the locked or closed gate and walking directly through our reserved site while we are camping. I’ve had to personally stop and remind several individuals that they are trespassing on a paid campsite.
One of the main reasons I reserve this site is for the privacy it offers, and these repeated intrusions significantly diminish the camping experience. I respectfully request that the Forest Service consider installing a sign near the gate or entrance, reminding others not to enter active campsites—especially when the site is clearly reserved.
Even a simple sign stating something like "Do Not Enter – Active Campsite in Use" or "Private – Reserved Site, No Public Access" could help reduce these disruptions. I have several upcoming camping dates this year and, if necessary, will bring my own sign in the meantime.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping protect the quality of the experience at Salmon Cove.
Sincerely,
Craig
