17 – Dagger Falls
Dagger Falls Campground is at the end of Dagger Falls Road on the Salmon River at Dagger Falls. The forest is mature, offering shade, but the sites are close to each other so there is little privacy. Boundary Creek Campground is a busy area with its raft “put in” ramp and the Middle Fork of the Salmon River Trailhead nearby. The campground is surrounded by the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area. There are 8 tent / RV camping sites. Each have a picnic table and a fire ring with attached grill. The road and driveways are gravel, and it has a very rustic feel to it. All sites are $5.00 per site, per day. Dagger Falls Campground is a first come first serve facility, no reservations.

Long ride in but a cool place
It would have been a nice place to camp if it wasn’t early in the day
Fun ride on a wide dirt road. Be sure to check out the wooden boat ramp at the put in for the salmon river northeast of Dagger.
Coll falls and a nice little campground. Another place I would never have gone if not for the challenge.
There’s a faucet at camp site 1 which came to my rescue as I’d ran out of water.
The falls are pretty cool, worth the ride in!
Don’t head down to the launch, there’s not much to see.
The falls are running high. Nice place to spend the night.
