Set along Saint Charles Creek in Cache National Forest, Cloverleaf Campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet on forested and open sites. The creek runs directly alongside the campground, with some sites positioned right next to the water. Campers report hearing the water flow at night, though high runoff can make the creek too swift for fishing.
The Forest Service facility provides flush toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings with bear-safe hanging poles. Sites vary in shade coverage from trees. Minnetonka Cave sits a few miles up the road, and the Highline Trail connects from camp. The campground operates May through September with reservations available, though no pets are permitted. For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds around Cache National Forest offer additional forest-based options.
