Camping at Emerald Creek campground
Hello,
Here is my review of the Emerald Creek campground. It's about 6-7 miles off the paved highway (ID3, Emerald Creek Rd.) on a very well graded gravel road about 25 miles south of St. Maries ID. This is the site info:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Em...273795!6m1!1e1
I stayed there 7-17-16 and 7-18-16 (Sun. & Mon) and there were only 3 other sites occupied.

The campground oddly enough is paved. I stayed in the only pull through site (#16):
There are 2 large 10ft. tables a BBQ and a fire pit at this site.
A mile or so further up the road the Forest Service has a site to dig for star garnets. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children but only if you are participating. There is a parking area from which you walk 1/2 mile uphill to the digging site. They give you a short instruction session and then you are off . They provide all the equipment (except gloves which I recommend). They are open from 9am -4:30pm. There are very nice picnic tables with umbrellas scattered about the hillside, so bring your lunch. They have a couple of outhouses as well.
Dig site:

Man I need to spend some time in Idaho. I love that kind of camping. It looks heavily treed so I wonder if our solar panels would get much sunlight?

Hi Paul,
Not very much at that site I'm afraid.

I have a few more pictures of the different garnet collecting processes but they want to load sideways. I don't know why??

Kevin, if the photos were taken with a "smart" phone they will have info (meta-data) imbedded in them from the phone trying to out-smart you. The easiest way I have found to dump this info is to convert the pics to .BMP format and then back to .JPG in the correct orientation then upload.

Looks like fun. We went to Crater of Diamonds State Park a couple of years ago and dug for diamonds. A lot of fun but also a lot of work.
