Cougar Point Campground is a high-elevation (6,600 feet) Forest Service campground with 18 first-come, first-served sites offering a cooler alternative to lower riverside areas, featuring picnic tables and fire pits at each site.

The campground provides vault toilets but no potable water or hookups, making it suitable for self-sufficient campers seeking access to hiking trails and big game hunting in the Salmon River Mountains.

Located 12 miles west of Salmon on Forest Road 021, it offers a rustic base for exploring the surrounding wilderness with minimal cell service.
