Poverty Flat

Located alongside the South Fork Salmon River, this paved campground offers 10 campsites, including 4 walk-in tent sites. Facilities include fire rings, hitching rails, a toilet and drinking water. There are no hook-ups; pack in, pack out, and please pack out all your trash. The campground serves as the take-out for those floating the South Fork of the Salmon River from Goat Creek, and as the trailhead for an extensive trail system. Many loop hikes are possible from here, of varying lengths and difficulties, open to those on foot, horses, mountain bikes and trail bikes. There is fishing in the river. The South Fork of the Salmon River is a highly popular area of the Forest and is one of the earlier areas to be snow-free in the spring. Several campgrounds and dispersed campsites can be found along the South Fork Road (FS Rd #674); the southern-most 7 miles of the South Fork Road are on the Boise National Forest.
