Beautiful Campground in the Idaho Alpine

This was another beautiful campground in St Charles Canyon.  A roaring creek runs right along side the campground.  It had the same amenities as the other campgrounds which was metal fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets.  Some of the campsites had really good shade trees and some sites were decent.  The Minnetonka Caves are nearby as well as the impressively colored Bear Lake.

Ranger Review: Primus Trailbreaker Vacuum Bottle at Cloverleaf Campground, ID

Ranger Review: Primus Trailbreaker EX Vacuum Bottle at Cloverleaf Campground

Campground Review: Got in late on a Saturday but there were a few spaces available. We snagged a spot right next to Saint Charles Creek. Hearing the water run at night was nice. This year (2017) the runoff is very high and the creek was pretty swift for its size. Too fast to fish.

They had signs posted stating the water at the provided spigots was not tested yet, therefore it should not be consumed.

There were flush toilets in a clean bathroom. Decent picnic tables and fire rings. There is a pole to hang items high out of the 'bear zone'

Minnetonka Cave is a few miles up the road and it is worth a visit! I've added a few photos. The Highline Trail is approachable from camp.

Gear Review: Primus Trailbreaker EX Vacuum Bottle 36 oz. https://primus.us/products/trailbreak-ex-vacuum-bottle

As a Ranger with The Dyrt, I get to demo products on occasion. This trip, I had the opportunity to check out the Primus Trailbreaker EX Vacuum Bottle. I'm obsessed with this bottle! I guess it's a thermos but it has a great lid that allows you to drink from. It kept ice for 2 1/2 days after I got home from this trip! I added ice and tea before packing up camp and heading to Minnetonka Cave. It sat in my hot car for about 2 hours while I did the tour and it was very refreshing when I returned. Then we headed to the beach at Bear Lake and it sat in the sand and sun the rest of the afternoon. I refilled it once with tea but did not add ice. Once I got home and unpacked it sat in my counter for 2 1/2 days before the ice finally completely melted. Can't wait to try it with a hot beverage!
