About Cloverleaf Campground

Cloverleaf Campground is situated on St. Charles Creek in a scenic canyon in the forests of southeast Idaho. Nearby, the North Fork Trail and its associated trails access the Highline Trail 316. The Highline Trail is part of the National Trail System and is the area's premier trail. It stretches 55 miles along the backbone of the Wasatch Mountains and is open to hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders and motorcyclists, attracting trail users from around the world.
