Upper O'Brien Campground

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Salmon River, Upper O'Brien Campground offers campers a serene riverside retreat characterized by towering lodgepole pines, excellent fishing opportunities, and proximity to natural hot springs. With just nine campsites, including one double site, this intimate campground emphasizes seclusion and a deep connection to the surrounding wilderness.

Located within the Sawtooth National Forest, the campground's riverside positioning makes it a prime destination for anglers seeking steelhead and trout, while kayak enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby rapids. A short drive provides access to unique attractions such as Sunbeam Hot Springs, where water temperatures reach a soothing 169°F, and the Land of the Yankee Fork, a historic site showcasing the region's rich mining heritage. Though situated close to Highway 75, the steady flow of the river helps to mask occasional road noise, ensuring a restful experience immersed in nature.
