Elk Bend RV Park

Stayed for a week in a fhu, pull thru spot. You can tell new owners have done a lot of work and are proud of what they have done. 20 min. South of Salmon and right across the road from the Salmon River. Great location to explore the fishing and sights of the general area.
There is a small store, dvd library, restrooms, shower and laundry all on premises. There is also pretty good Wi Fi. Yedda and Keith are great.

We stayed at Elk Bend RV for 5 nights as a way to break up the drive from Hamilton, MT to Sun Valley, ID. We have a 1 year old and I work a traditional but remote job so we can only drive so far and so often. Elk Bend RV was perfect. Quiet, peaceful and restful. So well maintained and everyone was so kind. No problem getting quarters to do laundry or packages delivered. Definitely recommend!!

We wanted a fire pit in our site and there is only a community fire ring, however we used it extensively. Other guests and the owner came out to enjoy as well. The park is in Elk Bend city limits with houses and businesses close by. Park is quiet with only a few full time residents. Park has showers, laundry, bathrooms, C store and propane on site. Owner is very responsive and friendly, working to up grade the park. Pets allowed but must be leashed at all times.

We set up our daughter in our Super C here for 2 months while she worked in nearby Salmon during the busy season. We were so happy with the beautiful scenery, quiet grounds, and excellent service from the owner. If she ever needed anything, they were happy to help. There is a clean laundry room, showers, and bathrooms onsite, and more than enough space for a 40 foot RV. There are shade trees, some grass sites, some landscape rock sites, picnic tables, a gas firepit, and an onsite mini-store if you need. The owner waited for us until we arrived, helped us get our bearings, and then grew to be a friend. If you are needing to camp (even in a tent!) anywhere near Salmon, Idaho, you need to go and see Stewart at Elk Bend RV Park. Say hi to the deer that roam the area, too, or walk across the street and listen to the Salmon River. Just a beautiful area! Sites with full hookups and not. Would not hesitate to recommend Elk Bend RV Park.

Also, they were pet friendly!

We stayed for a week and had a wonderful experience. 5 minute drive from the trailhead to Goldbug Hot Springs.

Stu, the new owner, runs a very nice park. He was on-site most all of the time and very approachable. We stayed in one of the electric/water sites that had green, grassy areas. Wi-Fi was good enough to download a movie after about an hour. Good Verizon coverage. Nice bathroom/showers. Laundry center, top notch. Excellent movie collection to borrow from. Propane available on-site to refill from. Across the road from Salmon River and The Dusty Mule bar, which had pretty good food too. Would recommend for a future stay.

Stewart, the friendly owner of this small RV Park bought the park about a year ago and he has given it a great amount of TLC. There are lots of trees so there is a chance that your rig will not be in full sun. The Salmon River is just across US-93 and even though the park is close to the road, the traffic is so light you will not notice it. The park is about 20 miles south of Salmon, the closest gas and groceries, but there is a restaurant right across the street that is not bad.

I had 4 bar Verizon service the whole time I was there which meant my Verizon Home internet unit had not problem streaming movies and TV.

There is a propane tank for re-filling your tank if needed and a dump station as well. Stewart also keep Forest Service Maps and other maps and info about the area in the office for your use. Goldbug Hot Springs is also right around the corner.

I would stay here again if my travels brought me to central Idaho.

What a lovely park! It's located on the Salmon River Scenic Byway, which follows the Salmon River (Idaho's largest river) along US-93. it was beautiful in summer and fall would be a spectacular time to visit. Stuart, the owner, has created an oasis for hikers, fishermen/women and historians to enjoy the best of Idaho. The river is right across the road, Goldbug Hot Springs is a nearby hike and the former mining town of Salmon has restaurants, amenities and great history. The sites are very level gravel with nice shade, the restrooms clean and the entire park is very welcoming. The nights were quiet, as US-93 doesn't have a lot of after hours traffic. There's a restaurant and pub within walking distance, too. This was a one night stopover for me - next time I'll plan to stay longer!

We used this as a midway spot between Jackson, WY and Glacier NP. Clean park with cool grass sites. Local microbrew slash restaurant across the street. WiFi works. Laundry and showers. Would come back.

I don’t even know where to start...a much needed and incredible 1 night stay at Elk Bend! The owners Addey and Keith are the epitome of hospitable. I had stopped on my way to Cottonwood campground for ice and beer and instantly hit it off with Addey...impossible not to with her southern charm. I had plans to hike at Goldbug Hot Springs one evening that week and after meeting her and seeing the beautiful green grass spots I knew this would be my base camp. I came back after 2 nights down the road ready for a shower, AC and a safe place for my dog while I hiked (needed a dog break for my soak). Addey was kind enough to offer to check in on Penny while I was gone. The hot springs trail head was less than a mile south, making the drive back a snap after hiking out after dark.

In a 24 hour period I plugged in and charged my camper batteries, used and filled water, did laundry, took 2 showers, dumped tanks, caught up with “reality” and friends on wifi, filled my propane tank, got take out from the Dusty Mule restaurant across the street, bought ice, slept 8 hours and hiked to the most incredible hot springs I’ve ever encountered. This could have been the most rewarding 24 hours I’d had in a long time. If you are passing through stop in for supplies and say hi. It’s the only place between Salmon and Challis. If you are looking for a great stop over right off 93 I highly recommend Elk Bend RV Resort. They have EVERYTHING you need!
