Salmon River Stealth Camping

[GilV]

The Village Inn is now $155 a night. Times have changed.

I Spoke to Stoney's a few years ago and thought his sites were $40. They are $20 off season and $25 September through November. I am going to stay there. They have a shower you can use for $1.50 a pop. Don't get better than that.

Thanks for the info.

Red Carpet in Pulaski 54$,  Super 8 Pulaski 70$.   Not bad if you split it with someone.

I think that is now. During September through November it will be more. I am good to go. I will do Stoney's or the farmer by Orwell Creek. Stoney's doesn't open until later in April. I would like to fish March too. I may have to stealth camp then. I bought the Prius Saturday but my appointment to register it isn't until March 12th!

Thanks

I haven't been there in 20 years, when I was younger was there 3 to 4 days a week. Cought countless fish and made more memories then I can recount.

Quick trips always slept in back of my truck at "the portly angler" "super 8" or "red wood" 

If it wasn't for the rented "cops" I'd still be doing it.

Pulaski is nothing more than the "Jersey shore" - jwow

Ha!

Not what it used to be that's for sure. I can remember waking up like a frozen ham loaf sleeping in the back of a Chevy van my second time there. The first time we had a room (in the only motel at the time) with a broken wall heater. 

Stoney's is about the best rough it spot up there.  I pitched a small tent there for a few nights many times. Slept in a zero bag on an air mattress. A small propane heater made it warm as toast. Coleman grill for cooking breakfast and supper and we were pretty much good to go.

In the early days we spent many a night in the back of the pickup along the river and on Leto Island in Oswego, too. No more, no more, sadly. I'll never forget those days. We did what we had to do.

I have a Kifaru 4 man Tpee with a wood stove. I was going to use that, but the Prius will have everything I need. If I have to take my truck because of weather I will pitch the Kifaru.

X7 we did all those same things but that was 30 yrs ago. Now when I go up there I want a warm bed, hot shower and good food. Mix in a few Bourbons and I’m all good.

This past fall my son camped at Selkirk Shores State Park . Sites were good. 
I visited after my hot shower.

I haven't checked out state parks yet.

Thanks

My vote is still for the motel...

Nah, you have to put a little adventure in it. I did 4 DIY elk hunts where we camped in the back country. We stayed two weeks each time we went.

Couldn't catch me on the river with those crowds! Would trailer my boat.Haven't been there in 30 years used to stay at the little sotus inn they had a boat ramp into little sotus bay $160 a week for a cabin. When the weather was rough which mostly the time it is a trailer down to Oswego and troll the circle behind the seawall.

I did that for elk also, alone a couple of times.  There were no motels close by.
