About Shadowy St. Joe Campground

The Shadowy St. Joe Campground features 14 fully accessible campsites with electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire rings and vault toilets. Refuse receptacle provided, ample parking, convenient trailer space, potable piped water, boat launch, and a group picnic shelter. The day use picnic shelter has tables that can seat up to 40 people. In 2023, the campground received a complete redesign paid for by the Great American Outdoors Act and with a Recreational Vehicle grant provided by Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The redesign included all new accessible facilities, the addition of electricity throughout the campground, new fire rings, picnic tables, and restrooms.
