About
Huckleberry Campground is a BLM-managed facility along the scenic St. Joe River in northern Idaho's Shoshone County. The 33-site campground caters primarily to RV campers, with sites 1-30 designated as single sites accommodating up to 4 vehicles and 15 people, while group sites 31-33 can handle up to 12 vehicles and 25 people. All sites include potable water and electric hookups, with single sites featuring paved 60-foot parking spurs and group sites offering gravel parking. The campground serves as a central hub for recreation along the river corridor between Calder and Avery. Hunting, fishing, and OHV user groups frequent the area, using it as a base to access the extensive network of Forest Service and Idaho Department of Lands roads. The undeveloped boat ramp accommodates non-motorized watercraft for those looking to fish or float the St. Joe River. Facilities include six concrete vault toilets, an RV dump station exclusive to overnight guests, on-site camp hosts, and day-use amenities including a small parking area and horseshoe pits. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. The maximum stay is 14 consecutive nights.
