What Guests Are Saying
Huckleberry Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and friendly camp hosts who take pride in their work. The beautiful setting by the river offers opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, making it a favorite for families. However, some guests noted noise from nearby logging trucks and felt that the pricing was high, especially regarding additional fees for electricity.

Enjoyed our stay. Slept in car so highway noise wouldn’t bother us. Clean campground. Love the River. We’ll be back next year.

Outhouses were very clean but need signs inside to close toilet seats to keep the stink to a minimum.

Well designed campsite. Sites are spaced pretty well apart. Easy accesses. Access to the St. Joe River via a boat landing in campground and some paths. Some of the campsites have paths to the river. There are only a few campsites with views of the river. The campground hosts were excellent. They were very friend and helpful. They kept a great supply of firewood and kept the campground very clean. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen in a campground. The only negative is that there was a lot of logging truck activity on the road and out campsite was near the road.

Campground Staff were great to work with. They keep the camp sites and restroom facilities and boat launch area well maintained. Also appreciated are their regular checks on guests and grounds thru the day and early evenings to watch over safekeeping of RVs and equipment when we are out on excursions-very appreciated. Only recommendation would be to upgrade wifi system and signal. There were more signal drops and lack of service this year versus earlier visits in 2021. Not expected to stream video and obtain that level of service quality, however, stable wifi signal strength to maintain email and texts checks. Also utilize for wifi calling has been very helpful in the past. The better the Wifi signal , the more frequent I am able to book trips to Huckleberry and also provides a better option for longer stays. THANKS

This is one of the best BLM campgrounds I have ever stayed in and it was because the hosts took extra effort to insure the trash was emptied and the grounds were clean. The restrooms were spotless and they had placed deodorizers in the bathrooms and added peppermint to the toilets so they smelled good. There were very friendly welcoming.

Really nice campground located on the St Joe River, about a half hour east of St Maries. The campground is next to the road, but it’s not a busy road. The spaces are large, mostly private, full hookups, and free Wi-Fi. The river is beautiful, wild, and scenic with great fishing.

Great place, easy to get to. Very clean and monitored well by camp host and facilities personnel. Only complaint is a lot of truck traffic, at all hours, on the highway. Truckers turn on Jake brakes at the beginning of the campground and don’t shut it off until the end. I believe it is done intentionally! Very beautiful country, fishing is excellent. We are already planning our next visit, only this time we will stay for a week!
