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.

The campground was small, clean and quiet, and located off the main road but close to Salmon.
Jessica and her husband are great hosts. Jessica responded quickly to any questions we had.
We highly recommend the campground!!

A little off season, Camp Sula was a very nice, quiet place to spend a down day from our busy travel schedule. The sites are level and easy to access, we enjoyed checking out the store and gifts. We took a short drive up East Fork road, but otherwise did very little, except sit by the river and watch the birds fly by. A little road noise, but a very quiet campground. Good break before we hit the road again.

This was my families first ever camper trip. This was the perfect spot for us. It had every luxury like a shower and WiFi but felt private and was perfect for my toddler and baby with no cars in sight. The stars at night were incredible and the sound of the river felt like a dream. The host was super responsive. There were even two dogs on property that were very friendly and played fetch with us.

We loved Brandon and Jessica’s place. Well maintained, small and quiet, right on the river. Beautiful accommodations. We were able to ride our mountain bikes right from our camp site - what a bonus. We will be returning next year.

We enjoyed our stay at Camp Sula. The property was easy to find, quiet, and clean. Communication with the owners was excellent. The bathroom facilities were by far the best we’ve enjoyed on our journeys. Not only were they clean, with plenty of hot water and great water pressure, my wife said the air freshener smell brought back great memories of the clean bathroom at church from her childhood.

What a great little campground right on the Salmon River surrounded by hills and farm fields. While it wasn't "private" camping - there are 3 hook-up spots and a couple of dry camps - it was pretty darn close. We stayed 6 nights and the campground was only full one of those nights. There is a bathhouse (with private showers and flushing toilets) and the area is spotless. We watched eagles and osprey soaring over the river and put our kayak in right at the camp to float into town. Jessica was a great hostess. She stopped by a couple of times to check on us and responded to a texted question I had, but otherwise left us alone. The campsite is close enough to town to be able to run in for groceries and ice cream, but far enough out that it's definitely camping. There is hiking very near by and Williams Lake is just up the road. I highly recommend Cactus River Campground. Thank you, Jessica for a great stay.

We arrived with our 43’ fifth wheel and found the driveway a little bit tight, but made it into our spot and loved the stay! Power was strong and clean, water was as well. Great restroom facilities for those who need them. Dogs loved the river, the night sky was beautiful. Stay here if you can!!!

Small but clean and spacious camp round. The spots were nice and you weren’t super close to your neighbors. Being right on the river was lovely, there is some road noise but it isn’t bad at all. Call to verify your booking, there was a glitch and they didn’t have our reservation but they were able to accommodate us and keep us in the same spot.

Cheri and Tom were super host. They provided us with fresh cherries from their trees, did us a huge favor, directed us to local attraction and were so easy to communicate with. The level camping spot was a short walk to the river, which was great for our 6 yr old grandson. He had a blast catching trout for dinner. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and would definitely stay again.
