There is also 1 campsite for either a vehicle or tent, with access to complete bathhouse and shower facilities. Cactus River Ranch is located 12 minutes outside of Salmon, Idaho along the Salmon River. The sites have river front views with your own private river access. Hiking and mountain biking options are available right out the back door up Henry's Creek trail. Amazing fly fishing or bird watching location! Williams Lake is located 6 miles up the road and offers a variety of recreation activities including fishing, swimming, paddle-boarding, canoeing, or sight seeing. If you are looking for an area that is out of town, THIS IS IT!! We also have overnight stalls available for horses. Please make sure RV tanks are empty in order to hook up to septic. No RV dump station on site. With the river location, we get very windy conditions along the river corridor. Awnings can easily become damaged during these conditions. Please take notice and consider putting awnings away so that they don't get damaged. Along the same lines, please don't have campfires if the winds are high. Make sure your dogs are on a leash. We have mules on the property that DO NOT like dogs. This is for the safety of your dog. No fireworks on the premises. We do have a couple small trash cans that get dumped on Thursdays...that being said....we are NOT a dump. If trash cans are full or you have large items, please haul your trash to Lemhi County Landfill. They are open Monday-Friday: 7am-5:15pm and have dumpsters open on the weekend.

RV Site #3

We spent 6 days at Cactus River Ranch and enjoyed ever minute of it. What a relaxing place to rest after a hard day of fishing, hiking, ATVing or whatever. Town is close by but there was no hwy noise. Verizon has a good enough signal. There are brand new bathrooms and showers and there is limited river access. We didn't need anything so we only saw the owner 1 time when he showed us how to get into the site. They were very nice! And they have beautiful horses! All in all we would give it 10 stars, no problem! Look for the resident Bald Eagle who likes to fish around there. Very nice!👍
