Camping at Red Bank Campground

Access to Red Bank Campground starts at the town of Forks of Salmon along Cecilville Road (County Road 93). Take Sawyers Bar Road east for 7.3 miles to the campground entrance. The entrance is on the river side of the road. There is a sharp turn to the right from this direction, pulling a small trailer should be able to make the turn, but pulling anything longer than 20 feet will likely require coming in from the opposite direction of the road.

The entire route to the campground is paved.

There is no trash service at the campground.

Note, this campground frequently closes due to flooding from the Salmon River. Check with the USFS website for the latest status.
