Large open campsites. Double spots are great for families. Great spot on river for kids to play. We didn’t notice many bees or mosquitoes. Have to be aware of bears in the area so keep food put away.

My wife, 4 month old baby and I arrived at the site we reserved at 3 pm only to find a family already set up in our spot.
Our name was not written on the reservation sign. After speaking to them we learned that they spoke to the site host and received permission to camp there.
With my reservation confirmation in hand I went to look for the site host.
The site host had a sign at there trailer system “off duty” which was useless.
After an hour of waiting we gave up and went to a different camp site which was first come first serve.
Non mention of a refund…

We had exceptional weather for our trip to Salmon La Sac, one of our favorite Forest Service campgrounds. Highly recommended: the round-trip nine-mile hike to Pete Lake, which is on a mostly flat trail. You'll have to drive to the trailhead (I think it was six miles total) but well worth it. Beware the mosquitoes.

Excellent campground. Good site spacing. Lots of trees and shade. Lots of river access. Be aware that there is bear danger. A bear did visit our campsite during our stay. All but 1 of the water stations was out of order during our stay.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
