Rockin's River Resort, an RV park and campsite located on Salmon Valley  road, is experiencing moderate flooding from the rising Salmon River.

Water  levels have already risen above most of the facilities, including the rental  sites, and little can be done by the park's owner to stop it.

"Business has definitely been hurt," says Robin, owner of Rockin's River  Resort, adding that sites were already being rented by this time last year.

Robin, who purchased the RV park late last spring, fears she may have to start canceling reservations if the situation does not improve soon. "I'm  hoping for the best," she says," but what can you do with mother nature?".

It looks to me like the water is rising in this park, if it were me I would be out there moving things to higher ground.

Put everything on stilts like they do along the Amazon and in Indonesia. Problem solved.

What can you do? Don't buy a place that has been flooding out every other year ever since some person built a home on land that is barely above river level in the summer. That has always been wet ground. I don't understand why a previous owner was even allowed to build a house there. 25 years ago it was a swampy bog with trees in it. My sympathies to the current owners though. Heres hoping they do not suffer any loss due to flooding.
