There is a BLM CG about three miles east of town. Kind of near the road, but close enough access to Salida to head into town on those dark evenings. No water but a pit toilet down by the boat launch area. Not where I'd pick to camp in the summer (and we don't own a raft -- yet!) but might be the answer for winter camping.
And I really want to explore around Salida.
There are a variety of other cg's along the river: http://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/ArkansasHeadwatersRecreationArea/Pages/Camping.aspx
