For paddlers who are traveling to this area and staying... Knife Island Campground is located just off the highway on the East side of the River across from the rafters location. This is a private campground and features 30 sites with a private put-in. A little close to the highway if you're a light sleeper, but overall, a nice place. Update: visited again Aug/04 and there were some nice site improvements. Free firewood provided at each site... excellent!
In Scanlon to Thompson, there is a new improved put in specifically for paddlers at Scanlon across the road from where the rafters put in. It has lots of parking, dressing rooms, porta potti and a walk down to an improved put in (no more mud up to your ankles) Its about 200 yards upstream of the raft put in , on the other side of the bridge.
