Middle Fork Camp — Idaho
Your Middle Fork camping experience includes five nights on the banks of Idaho’s Salmon River, with full porterage and set up. Our dome-style tents are large enough to stand up in, and include cots, Thermarest pad, and fresh sleeping bags and pillows. You can even take a hot shower after a day on the water! All camping spots are on beautiful beaches or plateaus right next to the river, and you'll have fantastic views every day. At lunch and dinner time you’ll always enjoy gourmet meals at the best table in the house! Camping along the Middle Fork of the Salmon River has many incredible moments, from eagles soaring overhead to night-time stories around the campfire—to an amazing feeling of camaraderie with your guides and group. And, as there is no rush to get to camp, you can take the time to enjoy activities out of the raft, including hiking to waterfalls, finding ancient pictographs, and relaxing in natural hotsprings.
