Really nice campground with a nice selection of sites, About a quarter have river frontage some on one side and some on the other. Not a lot of potable water sites that we saw, found one, but didn't survey the whole campground, but that one was quite a ways from our site. Lots of easy RV spots from what it looked like. Bears were present and mainly at the end of the campground nearest the big dumpsters. None came near our site. The only negative was people just walking right through our camp. I mean right in front of our front door of our tent and where we were seated, about 4 feet of space, Gawking into our tent and looking at all we had going on. instead of going to the many egress points to get to the river. I found it very rude, lazy and entitled. Just walk another 100 feet to find the trail, or go through an empty site.

I am saddened by the lack of care Salmon La Sac has received from my, our, Federal Government. The campsite is, was, a gem built by the CCC and to see so many of the historic wood fire stoves in disrepair was upsetting. A water pump near a spot we have stayed in the past was broken, thankfully we were not there this time, but the site we stayed in sadly was a hike for water. The solar water pump near the picnic area, usually a reliable source we thought was suspect because the water "looked" different this year, it had a yellow tinge, something we had not seen in multiple years past.

The pit toilets, while functional, could have used a good cleaning in the chute, not the fault of the camp hosts, but something that would have improved the experience. Also, the garbage bins near the middle loop and toilets should be relocated, perhaps on the Eastern side of the info sign, to be moved further away from the sites on the Cooper, as the smell is nasty when the winds are not in your favor.

We spent some time down at the Salmon La Sac swimming hole, and it too was sadly overused. After our swim we left with a large kitchen garbage bag of full of junk left by other people: shoes, shirts, bags, broken bottles, cans, paper, plastic, toys, etc.

I always enjoy visiting Salmon La Sac Campground. Enjoy going to Cooper Lake. Brought my bike this time to pedal around.
Nice clean pit toliets.

Our first time to this campground. Very beautiful. Very clean. We got lucky with an amazing campsite with a perfect river bank. My husband's only complaint was that the men's restrooms smelled while the women's didn't. Everyone was very quiet after dark. We were thrilled to get to have a campfire. Very smooth pavement throughout the grounds for bikes and scooters etc. Was surprised and happy with the lack of mosquitoes. No cell phone service at all until a few miles back towards civilization. Will definitely go again!

Beautiful campground with large private sites. The campground is clean and quiet. Great hikes and water activities nearby. One of our favorite places to go because it’s so close to our home in Seattle.
