Coeur d’Alene, Idaho –Visitors planning a summer trip to BLM’s popular Huckleberry Campground along the St. Joe River, will soon be able to reserve camp sites in advance. The highly desirable campground draws visitors from across the northwest but is often at capacity, frustrating potential campers who have traveled long distances. In response to the public’s request to be able to reserve camping sites, the Coeur d’Alene Field Office that manages the recreation area, will move 29 of the 33 camp sites to a reservation system.
Beginning May 5, 2019, reservations for Huckleberry Campground for camping dates beginning May 15 through Oct.1, can be made at http://www.recreation.gov, or by calling the national reservation hotline at 1-877-444-6777. Four individual sites will be remain available for first come/first served visitors throughout the reservation time period. Campsites do not need reservations outside of the May 15 to Oct. 1 dates.
Fees for camping and amenities have not changed at the site. Overnight camping fees are $18 per night which includes water and electricity, and a daily dump station fee of $5.
Recreation.gov is managed by National Recreation Reservation Service.
