Photo of grassy campsitesThe Shadowy St. Joe Campground features 14 accessible camp units, a group picnic shelter, boat ramp, vault toilets, and potable water.
In St. Maries, ID, take State Rt. 3 north (to Kellogg) 0.6 miles to "Y" intersection (St. Joe River Rd. - Rt. FH 50). Bear right onto Rt. FH 50 and go 10.8 miles to campground sign. Turn right into campground.
Quiet during week, very nice camp host.
Large sites. Plenty of room for multiple tents. 2019.
Now for July/ August 2020.
Loud, no camp host, in this time of covid, the vault toilets were not cleaned the whole week we were there, even though the Forest employees came by.
Watched people come in, camp, not pay, leave trash etc. Very poor showing for St Marie's Forest Service office. No dock. Lots of generator noise day and night.
I can no longer recommend.
This is a quiet and small campground with easy access to the river for mobility impaired campers. The dock and boat ramp are perfect allowing access for those of us with walkers to swim, float on tubes and enjoy the sun and summer without crowds. I love it here.
Great little campground. Clean bathrooms and the spots aren't too close together. Very peaceful and right on the river.
Really happy to find this campground! Very green and lush, quiet and not crowded (June 2021). Nice boat ramp and docks.
