Find the Dance

We’ll be dancing in our 30′ tent. Bring your own chair. There isn’t lots of room to have chairs for everyone in the tent, but lots of room outside in the meadow.

It may be cool in June but we have a stove for our tent. If it’s cool we can also build a nice outdoor fire for evenings.

Our dance location is 5 miles south of Salmon on Hwy 93. GPS will get you there: 11 Hyde Creek Road, Salmon Idaho 83467

We would love it if you can come early and help us set up the tent!

Below is a satellite shot of the Hyde Ranch where we will be dancing. The ranch ower, Mike, is a vital member of progressive groups in Salmon. He is a Salmon native, and will help us bring Salmon folks out for dancing. We will be adding a lot of music, fun and love into his life, and he’ll be creating a firm foundation for our retreat.

Tent with flags

Housing:

RV Parking

There is lots of room for RV parking right by the tent. Good potable water is available close by, but no electricity on site.

Tenting

The dance spot has a wide open field with tons of space for tenting. You’ll be able to have your tent near your car if your camp kitchen is in your car. It is approximately 5 miles from the town of Salmon.

Other Lodging:

House: Connie and Wayne’s house. We have a couple of guest bedrooms and two bathrooms… so we can fit some folks in here. Our house is in Salmon, about five miles from the dancing tent.
Stagecoach Inn: This is the nicest motel in town. It’s right on the river and an easy drive to the tent location. It’s $100+ a night. Website 208-756-2919
Super 8: This motel is also quite close, and lots cheaper. Website 208-756-8880
Andrea’s RV Park. They are right on the river and have RV hookups. They also have one small “hostel” cabin. Website 208-756-2063
River Front Inn… I think that’s the new name… Used to be Wagons West and that’s how you find it on Google. Very cheap motel, but right on the river and nice folks. It’s only cheap because the building is really old. 208-756-4281. Waiting for them to call back with rates.
Bear Country Inn: Down on Main Street. A new motel. $70 and up. http://bearcountryinnsalmon.com 208-756-1499
Sacajawea Inn: I think this is the cheapest motel, or equal to River Front Inn. It’s not trashy. This motel is on the south side of Salmon, so it is the shortest drive to the tent spot. Nice people. 208-756-2294 (I think)
AirBNB will also find you lots of selections. We are dancing out near the airport so if you can find something south of town it would be great.

Food

This camp is bring-your-own-food.

We’ll have opportunities to eat together. We won’t be planning any actual potlucks, because those are difficult when camping. But we’ll have shared space for “Bring your own sack dinner.”

The town is Salmon is an easy 5 mile drive from camp. Bring coolers for your food. Plenty of ice is available in town. Feel secure that you will be able to buy anything you need.

Shopping & Restaurants

There are lots of places for food in Salmon, these are just our favorites.
