About
Conrad Crossing Campground is a small, primitive campground located along the St. Joe Wild and Scenic River in the remote St. Joe River drainage of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The campground features 8 campsites, with two prized riverside locations and five additional sites above the highway, all available first-come, first-served. Amenities are basic but functional: vault toilets, picnic tables, and potable water from a hand pump during peak season (June through October). The campground operates on a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy for trash. Peak season fees run $15 per night when water is operational, dropping to $12 when water is off. Sites accommodate two vehicles with additional vehicles at $5 per night. The St. Joe is renowned for fishing and offers excellent floating opportunities through mid-June when water levels are suitable. The historic Montana Trail is nearby for those interested in exploring the region's mining heritage. Note that cell phone service is unavailable in this area.
