Camping on the St. Joe, Idaho

[kevinpo]

Hello,
Here are a couple of pictures of camping on the St. Joe river about 20 miles outside of St. Maries ID. There is great fishing for Rainbow and Cutthroat trout. I watched a Great Blue Heron catch a 10-12" trout and kept trying to eat it spitting it out on the bank several times. Down swoops a Bald Eagle and steals his dinner.

The place I stayed was $30/night for power & water, no sewer but they have a dump station. $10/night dry camping. There was a seasonal camper with a Solitude 379FL so I think length would not be a problem. The sites were rather close to the road but there are many other RV places I saw that were much further back. There is about 70 miles of river from St Maries to camp by.

Regards,
Kevin

Sweet, thanks Kevin. I keep computer files folders on each state with campgrounds I like and that way i can find them again when we are headed in that direction.
