Overview

St. Charles Campground is situated on its namesake creek in the scenic St. Charles Canyon, approximately 8 miles from Bear Lake State Park and North Beach.

Recreation

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.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game manages the river fisheries, providing good to excellent fishing most of the year, including in St. Charles Creek. In-season big game hunting is also a popular activity.

Facilities

The campground offers one group site that can accommodate up to 20 people. Six single sites are also available. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. A paved road leads to the campground.

Natural Features

Stands of aspens provide partial shade, while lodgepole pines, willow, dogwoods, Engelmann spruce and wild roses dot the landscape. The varied vegetation provides plenty of privacy from site to site.

We love this campground. It is a smaller campground with easy access. Having potable water and flush toilets is very nice.

The picnic Tables have aged and warped and splitting. The whole area needs a new makeover. Very old. Also a lot of the trees were overgrowing near the picnic tables. Lots of weeds under the table. Really needs some tender love and care. The River by the group site is nice though.

We love the beauty of this camp ground. The sites were clean and well maintained. Having the sound of St Charles Creek to lull us to sleep was amazing.The host this year was amazing and took great pride in maintaining a safe and clean environment. The maintenance crew were in fixing tables and benches.

The group campsite was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again. There was mention of cows actually in the camp. There are definitely cows roaming free near the campground but not actually in the camping area. It seems that there has been work done with fencing and grates to ensure they do not come into camp. Beautiful area and the camp was well maintained.

Quite little camp ground. Love sleeping next to the creek running next to the camp sites.
